1. No argument from me about state and local guvmint.

2. This thread turned into an education thread, but it really is just about guvmint asininity. That is hardly limited to schools.

3. But of course, this is just more (as if we needed more) evidence of why schooling should be private, and NOT run by the guvmint (like most things should NOT be run by the guvmint).

4. I thot the $12B bond (I read $15B) was for other tomfoolery, not for education. Was there another bond?

5. The $15B bond is itself asinine. Dave Ramsay says you cant borrow your way out of debt. OBVIOUSLY. I guess Calif guvmint hasnt learned that lesson yet.

6. Interesting that you all think that teachers are underpaid. I used to think that too. But last year my boss's daughter got her first teaching job. My boss and I both agreed, that all factors considered, she is OVERPAID. Perhaps teachers are paid better here than in calif.

Just my opinion.
