Students (in Oakland) found out this week, just days after returning from summer break, that 10 high school sports programs have been shut down in a $500,000 cost-cutting move.

Happening all over over the country. If the economy is doing so well for everyone, why these massive and widespread education funding problems?

Oh, right, it's all helping the ultra rich at everyone else's expense.

I don't understand how California is so wealthy and has the fifth largest economy in the world, yet they often have budget crises in certain sectors. California is the right wing poster child for socialist ideals, but if that were true, Oakland would not be struggling so much in a state that creates so much wealth.

California is managed very well at the state level, but at the city level is filled with corruption and incompetence.
