Education spending

The self-interested claims of educators and their unions aside, does anybody still believe that the problem with education in the US is that we don't spend enough money on it? Or that spending even more would produce improvement?

How about introducing voucher systems that allow kids to get out of perennially-failing schools? The teachers unions will have none of that idea, thanks anyway. President Hope&Change presided over the destruction of just such a system, a small and very successful one in DC, in a deep kow-tow to the demands of the local teachers union. The reformist head of the DC school system has also been forced out. Back to business as usual, a massively expensive school system, hugely overloaded with highly-paid entrenched administrative staff, a system that is a nuclear waste dump of abject, perennial failure. Nice going, Obama, you pathetic fraud.
