Bake Sales for Education at the State Capital

Don't we increase Education Funding (0.00 / 0)

every budget? how is it still now enough? I mean do we even know a dollar amount?

say if we only spent THIS much more THEN our education system will work?

Our cash supply isn't infinite and we have a bunch of other problems also, it seems we want sorry NEED more bike trails in Minneapolis. pretty sure that should get more funding way before something like education.

Or I'd like my investigations arm of the Minneapolis Civil Rights department to stick around.

pues es la vida.

at the same time our Governor is borrowing $1 billion dollars and we face a bigger hole next budget, I am glad we are still calling for increases in spending.

budget crisis what budget crisis.

Fiscal Responsibility (0.00 / 0)

If we simply taxed the richest 10% of our Minnesota population at the SAME overall Minnesota tax rate as the poorest 10% of our population, we would solve our budget crisis. If we even had not had the Pawlenty tax cuts that focused primarily on the rich for all these years, then we would had the reserves to handle this. If we had not built a stadium, paid rush prices for a new bridge, etc. The basic business of government is important. Pawlenty's budget management consists of buying a new car and a new boat instead paying the bills, fixing the house and putting food on the table. Did the stadium folks hold bake sales - ever?
