Etymological fallacy.

@neobootsonious The national average is $9500 as of 2009, and is estimated to be roughly $10,700 in 2010 (due to stimulus money getting into the system at that time). Cost per pupil is spending per pupil, it is the overall state budget for non-university educated divided by the number of students. If your state's cpp is $16000, then that is your cpp.

Finally, most of the money in a private school goes to the administrators, not the students. Switching to the marketplace won't fix that problem.

@localhost008 Oh brother...what did you just get back from your lecture on the beauties of marxism?

@NoisyPiper The average cost per pupil in my state is $16,000.00 per pupil. This doesn't take into account the costs to fund the bloated pension and healthcare benefiits teachers, principals and administrators receieve while working and long after they're retired. Also add in the entire federal bureaucracy i.e the Dept. of Education and you'll wind up with around 45 g's per pupil. The sad fact is most of the money doesn't get to the kids. It goes to the useless politicians and bureaucrats

@AllepMrSONY Ohhh, the Democrats are creating terrorists, too. The foreign policies of Democratic and Republican administrations are shockingly similar.

@jgaarsoe Democrat =/= liberal, liberal =/= leftist, Democrat =/= leftist.

@jgaarsoe "And when we say the economy is not doing well, we are really saying that businesses are not doing well. There is a direct link: When businesses do well, ordinary people do well."

So why is it that, today, major corporations are bringing in record profits - and have been for several quarters now - and unemployment rates are still hovering around 9%? Businesses are doing very well, ordinary people are not.

@Cenamark2 Obama has continued the war spending, and has in fact increased it. And most of that "Domestic spending" has gone to banks and kingpin industrial corporations in their respective markets - that hasn't gone to individual citizens - in fact under Obama "welfare", apart from healthcare, has seen a decline in spending. And healthcare costs would have gone up with or without Obama.

@neobootsonious The national average of education spending per pupil per year is $9500. Where in the world do you get $45000? Most states spend under $9,000 per year per pupil. Arizona spend $3500 per year per pupil now.

Conservatism is the belief in less government in areas they think aren't important, and more government in areas they do think is important. At least by the American definition.

Also, the closer our public universities get to a free market system, the worse they get.
