I just joined a campaign to reclaim $1 trillion a year which could put every child in school and double green investment. Government leaders will meet in days to consider changing the rules so that companies pay what they owe -- take a minute to join me now.

Go ahead mods, mark it spam, and then go $#% yourself.
California by itself spends $100,000,000,000 a year on education

so unless we have 10% of the kids, your plan is in trouble
OK I am up late, I will check that tomorrow, that seems a bit large even if it combines 55 counties and 1 state budget

You might want to recount those zeros, Yell.
" Overall spending for California public schools is about $68 billion when federal funds and other funding sources are added."
We need to cut educuation spending. Too many working class people in schools, who then drop out. Higher education should only be accessible to the wealthiest 30%.
... Are you trolling, Justinian? X(
that sounds more reasonable.
on the other hand, that is $68,000,000,000 as opposed to $100,000,000,000
or 6.8% of $1 trillion as opposed to 10%
a trillion dollars just doesn't buy what it used to
We need to cut education!
After all, every kid in the nation can't go to Harvard. Their campus isn't that big.
I mean seriously...whoever heard of a person living in Detroit that had an education? I mean, like really? Everyone knows anyone that's stupid enough to live in Detroit is ...well...stupid. Hence no education. But they still live there. I mean who, but only the most stupid would live in a city where Drive By Shootings is considered a sport.
YOU LIE
that's chicago
Detroit's sport is torching abandoned houses and giving whole suburbs back to the prairie
During the glory days of the 1950s, Detroit was a booming metropolis of approximately 2 million people, but now young people have left in droves and the current population is less than a million. The true unemployment rate for those still living in Detroit is estimated to be somewhere around 45 to 50 percent, and poverty and desperation have become entrenched everywhere. In many areas of the city, only one or two houses remain occupied an an entire city block. In fact, some areas of Detroit have so many vacant, burned-out homes that they literally look like war zones. And yes, it is true that there are actually some houses in Detroit that you can actually buy for just one dollar. According to one recent estimate, Detroit has 33,500 empty houses and 91,000 vacant residential lots. So what can be done when an entire city experiences economic collapse?
Well, Detroit Mayor Dave Bing (pictured) believes that the answer is to downsize on a massive scale. Bing believes that Detroit simply cannot continue to pay for police patrols, fire protection and other essential services for areas that resemble ghost towns.
So his plan is to bulldoze approximately 10,000 houses and empty buildings over the next 3 years and direct new investment into stronger neighborhoods.
