People are stupid.
While this is true of all of us (myself included, and anyone else who finds it funny), it is more true of some than others. Take the GOP controlled Texas legislature's response to a common problem...
Problem: not enough money coming in from taxes due to economic slump and excessive tax cuts.
Not the smart solution: cutting funding for education.
Really not the smart solution: cutting funding for education when your state is already LAST IN THE NATION!
Education is the only thing that can make us great. It is our future. You want a strong economy in 20 years? You need a well educated population to make it. Stupid, thy name is "Texas Legislature." In all fairness, this seems to be the response of most state legislatures, but particularly ones controlled by Republicans.
