Does The Government Spend Enough On Education?

Posted Mar 12, 2010 at 9:13 AM by Maurice Berger

Does the U.S. Government spend enough on education? A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 67% of Democrats and 55% of voters not affiliated with either party say the government does not spend enough, a view shared by just 42% of Republicans . . . Just 20% think the government spends too much on public education, while another 21% say the amount it spends is about right. While government leaders attempt to tackle budget deficits that are ballooning to historic proportions, 55% of Americans say the government does not spend enough money on public education."
