$65 Million in educational money.

[Spydermag68]

$65 Million in educational aid.

That is how much Colorado has to ship out to fund another state's educational system.

I say FUPO

link? explanation? I doubt much of ATOT is up on current events in Colorado.

 

[Vette73]

Wow, so much info and links to know WTF you are talking about.

 

[meltdown75]

If a FUPO is anything like a FUPA, you can keep it.

Race to the Top....For Colorado it was race to the bottom.

This is another example where the Federal Government should stay out of State issues.

Ah...a misplaced P&N thread...

Hell, it doesn't matter. It's not like Colorado actually educates it's people anyway...

 

[mugs]

So Colorado was trying to get a grant that would give it a disproportionate share of education money from the federal government. They failed, and now they're pissed because they realized that the money that was being awarded in the grants is coming from tax revenue taken from other states?

Welcome to life in a blue state. We all get screwed by the federal government while the red states receive our tax money as welfare.

Look at the bright side... at least you don't live in a backward red state.

The only support for your OP in the link comes from an idiotic commenter that somehow misinterpreted the article. I'm not sure whether Colorado is a net giver or receiver of federal funds, but you have no evidence that it is the latter.

Learn how to read, OP.

 

[Dirigible]

Learn how to read, OP.

How?! All the edumacation moneys done got shipped out of state!!!

Massachusettes is a red state?

They were just bragging yesterday about "winning" a $250 Million education fund from the Fed.

Probably the same money Colorado was going after. wait.. after reading the Article, is IS the same money Colorado was going after.

$250,000,000 for spell checkers... on the other hand, I think I'll just buy some cool looking fonts.

Mass only gets about 80-85% of what they send to the Fed back. So no they are not a red state, i.e. not a welfare state. :awe:

No idea what FUPO means, but I'm sure Colorado would have just wasted the money anyway

Hey, it what Massachusettes votes for!

And in case you didnt know. "Welfare" isn't distributed to states, it's distributed to people.
If coastal states stats get skewed because they have a higher cost of living, therefore higher wages, therefore higher percentage of taxes paid, that's not anyones fault but thier own snobby asses.

Coastal state are typically a lot smaller, and require less infrastructure. What Mass is also paying for is the infrastructure in the farm states to bring Mass' food to them.

But the truth of these stats won't stop morons like you from using them to further some dumbass cause.

We need to just split up the union and do intercompany charges to each state for actual costs incurred.

"Educational aid" is euphemism for "funding teacher cadillac medical benefit and underwater unsustainable pensions"

We were just discussing this at school today, and the ramifications for our teachers.

Thanks for the $$ OP!
