Good points, but one other reason schools don't have any money is that the nea uses it for everything but education. Instead of teaching reading, writing & math, they indoctrinate socialist beliefs, teach them that the government should take care of them and those who are successful are bad, take away from those who have. No where in the Constitution does it say that the Government is responsible for education, but the Government is responsible for protection of the USA. Look at not only how much money the nea used to lobby and what they spent it on, not educational either. The last governers election in FL, the nea
MORGAGED their state headquarters fund a demacrook trial lawyer running for Governer.

Well, It could help to get some facts straight.
They store them in the AZ desert for a reason.
They store planes not in service that might be called into service and rip apart old planes that nobody uses. They also take parts that are no longer made from old planes and sell them to folks that need them.
Also they have a disarmament destruction schedule that during the 80s at least was monitored by the soviets via satellites. We monitored a similar program of theirs.
The conditions in the AZ desert are good for this storage as it preserves the aircraft better then the rust belt would.
And your friend the teacher in CA might consider that the reason the schools don't have the budget is because (at least in the district I worked in) more than 50% of the students couldn't pass a basic algerbra test and numbers similar would drop out before graduating high school. Attendance is poor and attendance is what money is dependant on.
The first part of the blame should likely go to the parents; but they are busy just trying to put food on the table.
There is an interesting series of articles in the LA times this week...point your friend to it maybe.
