This chart, put together by my Cato colleague Andrew Coulson, is a devastating indictment of the government monopoly education establishment. They’ve received huge amounts of money in recent decades, and dramatically expanded the bureaucracy, but student achievement is stagnant.
To be fair, doesn’t a growing student population have a lot to do with it (although the staff per student statistic seems to debunk this theory)?
“Where is the Money”
A close friend and investor of EjW Inc Magazine from Dubai and lives and have several properties in Bloomfield Hills, Dearborn, Farmington Hills, Rochester Hills, Michigan, invited EjW Inc. Magazine to Dubai and we just returned and while in Dubai, one of the discussion(s): where is all the money for students education the government says the states have? The state of Michigan is totally lost and people in Michigan must be in total denial regarding the government bureaucracy Bu..!!!
EjW Inc. Magazine just checked the various sites as always for accuracy, and this chart appears to be accurate. But, the question(s) remains who’s putting the information onto the charts to say the chart is correct?
They’re several organizations such as CATO but, who’s checking there resources for accuracies?

I don’t need a chart. All I have to do is watch the never ending escalation of my school taxes and then hear that US corporations say they need to import foreigners for jobs in the US because they are more educated.
