400 million...sound like petty cash compare to the trillions we've dealing with. But this re-distrubution of 400 million to our enemy is over 1 million per every American, (roughly 312 million Americans).

If this administration really wants to re-distribute wealth, why aren't they giving money directly to the American people. Where's my million plus????

Can't agree or disagree. I don't know for sure where their salary comes from.

I am in the process of trying to figure it out. I have Florida data that I am getting ready to put into graphs (Will send you a link).

I am really interested in finding out where all the ed money goes. There is A LOT of money going to education; especially k-12.

Hi Dave - I responsed to your other post before reading this one. As I mentioned I don't believe the univerisities are funded like the k-12. K-12 gets A LOT of money and should be kept free....

But univerisities rely on fundraisers, research and student tutition, the higher the grade level the less government money. The control the government really exerts on Universities is on the grants such as the pell grant and research grants - if they want the money the research has to be what they want. If the school agrees to pell grants then they have to jump through government hoops.

Teaching is mostly something the professors have to do when they would rather be working on their research projects.

Great comment. I agree if they accept the government money.

So k-12 should continue to be free...but as far as I know the universities don't get nearly the amount the k-12 gets. They rely on research grants from govt and private enities, fundraising and of course tutition.
