Ok now, our country is financially fucked right now. It seems like every few months I read in my local newspaper that schools are getting funding cuts, as well as other local programs.

THEN, I read shit like this, that we're giving out $900 million to rebuild Gaza. It's like WTF ?!?! Actually, if you read the article, it says "The United States plans to pledge MORE than $900 million".

If they're so happy to spend money, why not put that money back into our schools, so the future generations won't be stupid.
