Reply #1: I don't think America has been committed to education [View All]

[thingfisher]

for many decades. We have squandered our resources on military armaments and obsolete on delivery weapons systems as reps and senators voted for appropriations for their constituents. Had we tied even a percentage of defense spending to education (we have not even maintained the physical plants) expenses we could have the intelligent population we deserve to be. That being said, with the outsourcing of jobs for lower salaries and wages (in the interest of greater profits) we might only hae ended up with a better educated mass of unemployed and under employed.
