"A friend of mine who teaches high school in California routinely buys books for some of his students because the district has no budget for new ones. Makes you wonder where all the cash goes." per jorian

Looks like you have your budgets mixed up, CA can't buy books because they piss away money on other stupid things. It has nothing to do with mothballed planes that are 50 years old. (most of them) The Fed budget is not used for buying public school textbooks.

Being from Canada I suppose you would encourage the US Gov to sell these planes on the world market, maybe to Iran or North Korea so they could use them for passenger planes????? Then we could send that revenue out to CA to buy books for illegal aliens living in LA. Yeah, that the ticket.

When you pay taxes in the US, then you can have some say in how to spend our tax $$, until that time comes, please reserve the comments.

I can deal with critiicism coming from this side of the fence but not from outside of our borders.
