>> It's typical of politicians/government. �Yes, the lottery proceeds go to education, but there is nothing protecting the money budgeted for education. �If the lottery gives $100million to education, politicians take $100million from the budget for education and move it wherever they want.�Net benefit for education: �$00
@Retired_Engineer:
do not forget the teachers union getting a large chunk of that
@CBP210: if teachers unions 'get a large chunk of that', that large chunk comes out of the teachers' pockets with their consent. and schools were funded the same way when you went to school ray, so you got benefits from people whose kids were out of school paying their taxes still to support schools that you went to and later it worked the same for your kids going to school. that's the way it works and it is for the betterment of society rather than having insufficiently funded schools.
