Young Americans are dumbs

With the astonishing amount of money squandered by the government education industry complex, such figures are truly amazing.

Even more amazing data is the massive amounts of windfall profits reaped by those teachers despite stagnant student enrollment. They are winning the treasury.

Win the treasury back.

How?

That's the easiest question of all. Put the government education industry complex on a diet by firing staff, cut the fat cats, and redirect funds to more useful purposes.

All it needs is a fellow with some mettle to take the fight to the enemy.

If you actually bothered to take a look at those figures, you'd see that it isn't teachers that are profiting at all.  In constant dollar terms, the salaries of classroom teachers have remained essentially flat between 1990 and 2010 and only increased some ten percent overall in the forty years between 1970 and 2010.  By contrast in the forty years prior to that, classroom teacher salaries almost tripled in constant dollar terms between 1930 and 1970.  The greedy teachers of that era must have led to some really awful education by your brand of logic.

Yes, we have too much school administration and it is bloated and horrendously overpaid, but to blame teachers' unions for that problem is ludicrous.

They are crafty folk. To reap increased profits the unions simply increased their numbers as well as their 'Personal income per member of labor force'. It's no coincidence that staff has nearly doubled since 1970.

More useful purposes like what?

Some have suggested a cut in personal income tax rates. Some have suggested a fast train between 2 cities in the Central Valley. Some have suggested a repair of our roadways. It turns out that the government education industry complex devours enough resources to cover all of the above in some manner.

Mental care for the mentally ill? It would be beneficial.

Well, people like you provided $320 billion a year to the teachers unions instead. Consider that another example of those unions winning the treasury while the common man loses, if you wish.

I find that very hard to believe. You have any proof?

Their profits have been well documented and already linked.
