One out of three hundred believe Buck wants to take away eduction dollars instead of redirecting them.
Do the dems get why the Reach for the Stars concept is a joke? It was a lottery and like all lotteries most of the needy were poorer for the experience. Colorado eduction dollars get sent to NY. Good thing we have an “education” Senator who sticks up for Colorado kids.
Public Education altogether, like Ken Buck would.
then the age old “trickle down effect” eliminating public education altogether.
so only the children of republican eletes can read in the future.
Thus producing millions of illiterate minions that would be easily swayed by conservative propaganda = voting accordingly.
cannot be made up in CO due to tabor.
So, Buck wants to eliminate education, Medicaid, jobs, Social Security and infrastructure.
That’s your candidate
If you want to talk about shortchanging education, you might want to ask Bennet about the large sums of money he lost for the DPS by investing it unwisely. Or perhaps Obama’s vaunted “Race to the Top” giving our tax dollars to other states for their education systems while shortchanging Colorado?
Public Education altogether, like Ken Buck would.
(I can cut and paste propaganda too.)
But we already knew you cut and paste propaganda.
I would watch Fox news.
You’d be wrong.
can be found here, Beej.
Jeremiah was a bullfrog? Lame. He can’t refute my arguments. At least Steve tried to come up with a coherent arguments half the time.
I’ve asked Ken Buck about this all three times I’ve interviewed him. He wants education funding and control handled by the state and local districts. So yes he wants to see the Dept of Education reduced dramatically, but he does not want education funding reduced.
If you think moving the funding and control back to the state and local government is a bad idea, then beat Buck up for that – very legit. If you think minimizing the role of the Dept of Education is a bad idea, then pound Buck for that – also legit.
But I don’t think it’s fair to say he wants to eliminate funding.
Wouldn’t it be nice if this campaign was about ideas?
It does not look very promising.
Ken Buck wants the Federal government to keep taxes for education spending at the same level?
Taxes as determnined by the people for whom the services are to be rendered so they can determine the ROI. Eliminate the middle man and save that expense. That would be my guess.
The CSFA says that no district can decide for themselves what their funding level will be for public education. Instead, if District X raises their taxes, the state contribution to that district will be reduced.
If a district were able (all but impossible) to get their “local tax raet” to generate enough funding to negate the state contribution, the state contribution could be “negative” meaning the district has to pay the state.
This is a state issue, not federal, but are you saying you think Buck would be in favor of eliminating the CSFA?
what I am stating is that he wants the federal government role minimized and decisions about school spending to be made at the state and local level.
