It ain't rocket science either.

Do you proof to back up this claim?

Thank you BrownArmy.
Regardless of all schools or just Higher Education, the disproportionate funding in relation to importance is still a valid point by @rickyb

 

[rickyb]

Yes its hard to believe.

the amount of money america wastes on jailing people compared to what it could be spending to educate them is mentioned quite often come to think of it

Why are so many liberals now defending the use of prison slave labor? Because a Democrat did it. Think about that.
