Closing Down the Government – for Profit: Part 1, Schools and Testing
Close down the government? School systems are not broke. Pension systems are not broke. Healthcare is not broke. The USA is not broke. They are all being broken in order to profit the very, very few.
The legalized scams allowed by purchased legislators threaten children, widows, the disabled and the elderly. Needless to say, they are not doing middle class taxpayers a hell of a lot of good either. Wrapping themselves in the flag and creating mantras to a near-religious covenant of austerity-sequestration-shared sacrifice for all but their super wealthy donors and themselves, the legislative leadership is NOT dysfunctional. Legislators are making the super wealthy super wealthier at the expense of us. All of us.
Closing the government down for the profit of the few (in particular, bond and stock investment fund managers along with their investment corporations) is this moment’s major scam. Read the Reuters report HERE.
Yes, the “free market” is being rigged, again.
Expensive high stakes testing is taking a horrific toll on children, their families, teachers, other educators, schools, school districts and the economies of all things attached to them.
