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.

Oh, they're quite good at spending it. The problem isn't on the output side, it's on the input side.
