  1. My family and I are vacationing in Southern California for the next week. :)
  2. @karl_bucus That doesn't mean anyone is arguing that spending money equals better education. It may be necessary but it isn't sufficient
  3. @karl_bucus Investment in infrastructure means money. Try to build highways without it. Who held back the education infrastructure money?
  4. @karl_bucus You then brought in the 60's and I simply pointed out that had the investment hadn't been made to close the gap
  5. @karl_bucus The study found that the national education gap caused lost GDP. You brought race into the mix, not me.
  6. @karl_bucus I wasn't blaming anyone for a white/black gap. And I wasn't suggesting more money equaled better outcomes
  7. From FiveThirtyEight: Democrats do better among the most and least educated http://bit.ly/YjPeh
  8. From the excellent Far East Economic Review: "All Eyes on Xinjiang" http://bit.ly/XfsY4
  9. @karl_bucus The proof is in the pudding. Conservatives conserved us right out of leadership in education. They spent the future elesewhere
  10. @karl_bucus What you call a white whale, I'll reframe as chickens coming home to roost. Penny wise and pound foolish.
  11. @karl_bucus Instead, we failed to invest in intellectual infrastructure & now we have giant potholes instead of a smooth educational highway
  12. @karl_bucus We have had the increased GDP which in turn would have funded the increase in the cost.
  13. @karl_bucus Just think, if we'd begun to invest in improving our education system in 1960, we be in our 3rd generation of students now
  14. @karl_bucus In complaining about complaints about our education system, I think your math is bad. What does 2% to 4% of our GDP equal?
  15. Grassley: It has been difficult to distinguish between the activities of for-profit hospitals and charitable hospitals http://bit.ly/2xA9uV
  16. Sen. Charles Grassley (R., Iowa) has been a vocal critic of nonprofit hospitals for the past few years http://bit.ly/2xA9uV
  17. Some nonprofit hospitals have amassed big cash surpluses even as they engaged in aggressive bill-collection tactics http://bit.ly/2xA9uV
  18. More than half of the 5,482 hospitals in the U.S. are nonprofits that don't pay federal, state or local taxes http://bit.ly/2xA9uV
  19. Senators consider curtailing hospitals' tax breaks http://bit.ly/2xA9uV
