It is not a question of dollar value but priorities. Education is just one of many needs that we would like to be met. So is health care, the under-privileged poor, the aged, roads and bridges, foreign aid, the military and the police. Any one of those concerns can tell stories that would break your heart; but the fact is that a Government, like an individual person, can't take care of everything to perfection. You have to pick and choose. Given our political system, you choose in favor of those who will re-elect you. Right now you have a left-wing administration which has traditionally been union-friendly. There might be a few more bucks thrown in the way of education, but they are likely to end up in the pockets of unionized teachers. Would that help you much?

The United States hates education and has done all they can to destroy it! Look at Bush/Cheney; they'd put teachers to death if they thought they'd get away with it! Obama has a chance to make education a priority, but Americans hate it, so he won't. He'll be too busy paying the unions back for the $300 million they 'gave' him for the election!
