[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe if the GOP stopped gutting our public education and our universities, including the schools of education that train our future teachers, were not castigated constantly, and perhaps if teachers were offered a decent wage and treated with more respect, we would have better outcomes.[/quote]

You know we just sent Ukraine an aid package that's about as large as our annual Department of Education budget? We also sent an aggressive genocidal state (Israel) an aid package that's the roughly the size of NASA's annual budget...[/quote]
DP.. national security is important to our future, and yes, what goes on in Europe can be a national security concern.

Having stated that, the GOP do usually cut education budgets.

I'm sorry but that is BS- the EU countries that are on the frontlines have to step it up and they can ax their generous welfare policies.  I work with refugees and almost uniformly the US is the last country they want to immigrate to b/c the generous welfare in CA, EU countries.

It was fine for us to be footing the bill when our own education system and infrastructure was 2nd to none but why are we still pretending to the the rich uncle and subsidize our allies education and infrastructure and healthcare while their kids take our kids jobs. And yes- if teh recruiters are looking for LSE grads, then those kids are taking our kids' jobs.

all of these other countries's citizens are in just as much or more danger from foreign aggression, why do they deserve to have low/cost free healthcare, low cost/free university, guaranteed parental leave, guaranteed housing for families but we dont. Arent teh frecn in just as much of pickle from Russian aggression as us? Arent the Japanese in just as much danger as us from North Korea? Why do poor French and Japanese kids go to school without leaded water and black mold in the classrooms but American children  suffer? Why are American families more concerned with the national security of the Danes and the Dutch and sacrificing for it when the Dutch are making no sacrifices, should they be suffering for their own security more than Americans are?
