Did you know that 50% of the national education budget does to transportation?

Question

I saw that on perotcharts.com and almost fell over. billions and billions with poor results compared to all other industrialized nations and hundreds of billions paying for transportation. may not shock you. seems absurd to me.

Answer 1

But you need to get to school in order to be educated. They should rezone everything so no one has to travel so far.

Answer 2

Except in Detroit. There it goes to corrupt bureaucrats... well, all that's left of the budget, anyways.

Answer 3

With gas prices these days, and given how big the country is, that seems like a low estimate. Those cheese wagons don't look like they'd get good mileage anyway.
