Look lsbskins, illustrating education makes leads to a better standard of living is all welll, and good, but what about "governement education", like you are contending?


Your links don't support your contention.
Yes they do. My contention was that government does not get the monetary benefit of the KNOWN benefits of an educated public. You bitch and moan about the costs, ignoring the fact that there are definite rewards. It's just that Exxon/Mobil and Microsoft and every other private industry you can name gets to reap those rewards and you guys still complain that your taxes go to pay to educate the public. Government takes on the burden because private industry has proven to be too short sighted to support those kind of long term goals. Try supporting your contention that private industry does it better. Where more people going to college before or after public education became the norm? Were literacy rates higher before or after public education became the norm? Do the most well off and productive nations have a system of private or public education?

Tell me, could that be you?
