Why not use > bonds to fund education? Bonds are not used to fund programs but to fund facilities and other tangible items. The problem is if you bond X amount of dollars to be put into the educational system, that is a one time injection, unless you bond every year. As an aside, how much money would be enough? the education budget is already 42% of the total budget, should it be increased to 60%? 75%? When will it be enough? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
