I have a full concept, John.
As a percentage of GDP, America spends less then it does on defence.
That, no matter how much money the percentage is, is plainly unacceptable.
Sure, $50 billion woul;d fix the holes, but the only way to improvwe the system is to fund it, alot, and more then historically was done.
Maybe the school you went to was alright. Maybe the school Akno went to was alright. but don't tell me for a second that all the schools in Flint are OK, or in Mississipii or in Pasadena or the Bronx-because they're not.
$150 billion dollars can, and quite possibly will, make our education system the best in the world. It doesn't need to be spent at once, but an extra $25 billion every year for 6 years will strongly help our youth.
