Shouldn’t local governments, not the feds, pay for education?
It’s true that local government pays for most education in America. However, local governments are strapped for funds all across our country, which explains in part why 14 million of our kids attend schools that are in disrepair, and it will cost $10 billion annually for 12 years to fix them. There’s only one place to get these funds–the federal budget. To insure that our nation retains its position and the economic and military leader of the world, American kids must attend the best schools and get the best education in the world. Can you think of a better way to spend federal tax dollars than on education?
