1. Education is by far the largest category of state and local government employment. Nearly 7 million teachers, aides, and support staff work in the nation’s public elementary and secondary schools, more than twice as many as in the next largest job category (protective services, which includes police officers, fire fighters, and correctional officers).
I don't understand. The same people that want to attack big government deficit-spending because it "steals from our future" also want to attack spending on education. However, educating our children gives them the tools they'll need to compete in the future global economy. It is really giving to our future. So, they want to "not give" to our future so we don't "steal from" our future?
