I said they wouldn't be as bad as their opponents like to pretend. There is a difference.<br /><br />I think improvements to our education system are necessary, I'm just not convinced that more spending automatically equals better education, are you?Jeremy R.

That is just as stupid as saying that cutting taxes will increase revenues. Of course it will decline.

The Governor is going to make that $9.5 billion. Is that really going to "destroy" education in WI?Jeremy R.
