More notes from Bloomberg’s budget. Total Department of Education spending up $582 million. Debt service up $528 million. Just about every other agency cut.
How long can this go on? After five years of it, I’d say some of it has to be reversed. Next year, when there is no longer $1 billion to pillage from what was supposed to be retiree health care, and the tax medallian stuff — if it happens at all — has already been spent.

I call it obsessive irrational behavior. It would be akin to the moth flying into the flame or Icarus, however Larry’s intentions are completely unknown and I suspect that he has ulterior motives. He’s just not saying what they are.

He is allowed to disparage hard working people without any idea what they have contributed during their time as a teacher.He has not spent one minute working in the education field but uses ever opportunity to trash us. Just google him and it will tell you a lot about his agenda.
