Oh, indeed they do

“Schools need ‘additional dollars’” is the headline, and sure enough they do. Yes, it must be that levy season is upon us.
Nothing could better demonstrate the essential problem of government. (Well, nothing short of a war.) Most of us don’t spend a lot of time on the income side of the budget issue, because that’s a whole different set of activities — changing jobs, increasing skills, all big, difficult, long term major efforts.
No, real budgeting is spent on the expense side of the ledger. It doesn’t do any good to say we need additional dollars. So does Donald Trump. The real issue is, given our dollars, how are we going to spend them?
But no, let’s not go there. Let’s just say the school funding system has been ruled unconstitutional four times and raise taxes.
