Everybody else is losing their job or getting their hours, salaries, and benefits cut. Others have no job at all. Why are teachers exempt from the suffering? I’m out of work but am expected to continue to pay taxes to keep my house. This money extracted from me means that I have to do without basics. My money is going for teacher salaries (including pay raises), pensions, and healthcare. I have none of these. How is this legal?

It's for the illegal alien children. At least here in AZ. Where they just bilked us for higher sales taxes "for the illegal children."

you don't see our so called leaders and ‘public servants’ in washington tightening the belt or scaling back on anything. They will suck you dry before they experience any discomfort or reduction in their grand life styles. Why? because we let them.
