[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More analysis on state budgets and tuition.

https://www.cbpp.org/research/state-budget-and-tax/a-lost-decade-in-higher-education-funding[/quote]
From the article -- Of the 49 states (all except Wisconsin)[4] analyzed over the full 2008-2017 period, 44 spent less per student in the 2017 school year than in 2008.[5] The only states spending more than in 2008 were Indiana, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wyoming.
Gotta love those notable blue states of *checks notes* Indiana, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wyoming.

Maybe you need to update your notes with this map of Republican-governor led states.  33 states have Republican governors. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/current_governor_map/2018.html   This is not about red or blue states overall. [b] It's about Republican governors.  Who typically cut education budgets.[/b]  There is plenty of info out there demonstrating that in general universities have to raise tuition when they are granted less funding from states.  There are other factors as well but this is a major one.[/quote]
Except four of the five of the states that increased budgets were under Republican governor.

So 4 Republican governors raised budgets and 28 cut budgets and[b] you are concluding that Republican governors don't cut budgets? [/b] [/quote]

Every once in a while, you need an adult in the room to say you cannot spend that much.[/quote]
