How bad is your budget for a state when $6mil is an issue? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 28, 08:55 15
- This isn't about the budget. It's about diminishing the educational opportunities for the electorate. -- nm - David Mar 28, 09:16 13
  - you realize he is a democrat, right? -- nm - Truman Mar 28, 11:16
  - Right. Someone's been paying too much attention to Stalin's teachings. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 09:18 11
    - The funny part is that a lot of old people trying to manipulate this stuff don't understand the internet provides the same education. -- nm - David Mar 28, 09:24 10

        Everyone's going to have internet by 2020. - David Mar 28, 09:36 7
        
        Affordable internet, even in rural areas? There are a lot of people without it because of cost as much as access. -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 09:46 3

        I heard about the Google plan but wasn't sure it was happening any time soon. Hopefully they come to fruition and they work well. -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 09:58

        Yes, very much so. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 09:42
      - Well, only to those who seek it out. Those who passively transit life are unaware they can self-improve. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 09:31
- as has been noted elsewhere, it's less than a dollar per Missourian. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 09:10
