Here is another statistic on California.
California spent $57,923,591,137 (almost $60 BILLION) on education during the 2011-2012 school year with $17,908,913,160 (30%) going to teachers salary. In 2013, $50,584,391,000 went to k-12 and higher education, which is over 53% of the state's general fund.
When you hear Congress talk about cutting $4 billion or $5 billion and compare it to what California spends on education, it is a drop in the bucket. But then consider how many California's students drop out and how much of those billions are wasted.
This is where and how your tax dollars throughout the country are being used and wasted.
