Since 1980, federal spending on education has increased by 425 percent yet student achievement has failed to improve. Clearly, the current system isn’t working. It is time we stopped measuring our commitment to education by the dollars we spend.
Representative John Kline (R-MN)
This is the sort of approach I would like to see taken to cobbling together the new budget bill, H.R. 1. Ask what works and what doesn’t, and how we can get more results for each dollar rather than what salient topics will enrage and titillate voters. Examining spending on education programs makes a REAL impact on the federal budget, while attacking groups like Planned Parenthood is merely a political tactic. Legislate with integrity and run the government like a business.
