STATE REPUBLICANS JUST LOVE TO MAKE EDUCATION CUTS

(h/t Atrios)

The Arizona legislature amputated higher education and in Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker has done pretty much the same:
This week, Wisconsin kicked off a series of hearings on Governor Scott Walker’s proposed budget, which would slash about $300 million from the University of Wisconsin system over two years, funnel hundreds of millions to build a pro-basketball stadium, and cut deeply from funds for health care, food stamps and public media.

Public primary schools across Wisconsin will lose about $127 million in education aid next year, largely by scrapping a special $150 per-student fund that Wisconsin school districts received over the past two years.

The struggling Milwaukee public schools are set to lose more than $12 million.

This is what O gets for not putting the war criminals on trial.

That will be one of O's greatest mistakes.
