239. What government has the money to spend what we have
waging wars for corporations and for oil?

And which is the better expenditure?

I think equal access to high-quality education is a civil right that should be recognized; here are some folks who agree with me:

And while we argue about what government can pay for that high quality public education system, what is happening to the "pawns," the children of the underclasses, as I type this post?

This educator would feel more optimistic about the chances that this new administration will TRULY support public education if he entrusted his own children to us. Of course, he's not acting out of character. He already supports mini-privatization schemes for public education. Charter schools that operate on public money, but are exempt from many public regulations.
