DEFUNDING EDUCATION To Send America’s Future ABROAD

" As American politicians search for cuts in State and Federal spending to balance the economic scales, they are aiming to cut into social programs instead of concentrating their fire on the issues that have actually led to our current, monstrous debt situation: Military Expenditures, Corporate Welfare, and Foreign Aid. As the Wars in the Middle East rage on, America is spending an astronomical amount of money in other nations while our own falls apart.



One particular target that has begun to hobble America is the insatiable attack against the public school system. Some may see it as necessary to balance the Fiscal Budget, but when a country spends more on the support of foreign countries than it does on its own future, one has to wonder whether the politicians pushing this agenda are truly serving the interests of the American people. When this question arises, We the People must begin to question the motives of the in-place system.



Our representatives in Washington have passed a defense budget which includes measures not only to defend against our “enemies,” but in the same motion aid them by supporting the building of their nations. These people continue to erode the foundation of this nation, but still persist in calling themselves Patriots. If one were to take an objective view of these actions, they would seem rather insidious, bordering on treasonous.

Some domestic programs that are apparently safe from cuts are throwing money at seemingly pointless endeavors. As an example of this fiscal policy of misguided spending from Washington, Florida’s Governor Rick Scott was recently faced with the decision of accepting $2.4 billion from the U.S. Government for the building of high-speed rail or letting it go to another state. He said no to the offer, because to accept would have obliged the state to $7 Billion additional to make it work. Unless the project was salvaged, the $2.4 billion goes to another state that wants to build high-speed rail. It would of course not make any sense for that money to go to the building of schools in Florida. High-speed rail means nothing to the future of our country when compared to education.
