Why does texas spend little amount of states funds on health,education,and welfare.?
You make an assumption without talking about any of the factors. It is an assumption without describing relative points either. Texas actually ranks 30th in per-pupil state financing out 51 states (plus DC). It also does better than a lot of states as regards the percentage of public funds used to finance schools. You should categorize your assertion, as it can vary. Texas spends little amount based on state funded revenue, federal contributions, etc. Factors that keep Texas spending lower than the Northeastern states, for example is the relatively low cost of living and the lower wages paid by the state to teachers. Operating expenses can also be higher in some parts of the country. Therefore, a comparison of expenditures by pupil may not be accurate way to look at the “bang for the buck” factor. Indeed, the US census site where you can find this data allows you to look at the data many ways. I particularly like the spending as afunction of teacher income, which changes the rankings c
