GOP budget plan: Slash $10 billion from schools

The GOP budget plan would raise $6.5 billion of new revenue for the general fund and reduce spending by $15.6 billion over the next 18 months, about two-thirds of it from K-12 schools. The proposed cut in education is far deeper than Schwarzenegger and legislative Democrats have called for in separate plans for reducing the deficit.

how nice every time they over spent and rise their pay, and when they need to cut items out of the budget, why do they always goes to education first. Hell at this rate why have schools at all. It seen every year they cut more and more from the school budget.

The country has a reading literacy rate at 98% of the population over age 15, while ranking below average in science and mathematics understanding compared to other developed countries. In 2008, there was a 77% graduation rate from high school, below most developed countries.

The U.S. Department of Education has no formal plans to compete against China on similar initiatives at this time.

I can only guess that education isn't high on the list..
