Yo, Jim!

In your opinion is democracy two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner?

How hypocritical for State Senator Hancock to point the finger at the CSU Administration. It has been the State Legislature that has cut billions from higher education in California, and continue to lack the courage to stand up in Sacramento and draw the line on any more budget cuts in education. And finally, it is the voters of California that were gullible enough to approve the necessary 2/3rd vote to pass any revenue increases. As a result, in California, the 1/3 minority rules the majority.

I wouldn’t send a kid to a public college in California, not with 800 kids in a Chemistry class and the difficulty in getting the courses you need to complete your chosen major. When I went to college, you not only could get any course you wanted, but you could choose the best sections and professors. Now, you get grad assistants. And, speaking as a former grad assistant, that’s not good.

I am in agreement with Elwood but also think there are additional causes for unfunded teachers and education. We need to start putting more importance on education.

“their savings have been depleted thanks to Wall Street greed and mismanagement.”

Loni needs to start going to KoolAid Anonymous meetings, and soon.

If the profs went on a sufficiently lengthy strike, the savings to the state would be significant; maybe enough to restore some courses. If I told a grandchild he isn’t going to college because greedy Wall Street and mismanaged banks lost his family’s money, he would probably ask why I was able to go when I had my turn. Were bankers and Wall Streeters unselfish a generation ago?
