Mysteriously not mentioned in any discussions about budget cuts is the Department of Education. In case you didn't know, with all of the taxes collected in the State of Kansas, somewhere in the neighborhood of 53% goes to our public schools. Trust me I have heard it time and time again. "It's for the kids." I simply want you to think about something. If you were paying 53% of your income to your mortgage alone you would find yourself out on the street. You got it, bankrupt. Why do you think so many homeowners are going broke. Why do you think the State of Kansas is broke and unable to properly budget for other government agencies? Why, because at least 6.7 billion dollars of our 13 billion state budget goes to just one agency. Common sense would be to cut into the Department of Educations budget and force them to make decisions that are "good for the kids of Kansas." If this doesn't happen than we are going to see other agencies cut jobs and services that are equally as important to our kids. If we don't take our state budget serious and cut spending immediately you can be assured that the state and your town are going to raise your taxes. Which one of you can afford paying another dime of taxes to the government. Oh I forgot, it's only those who make over $250,000.00 a year who pay taxes. If you keep believing this you too may be looking out your window pretty soon as the moving van appears at your own driveway.
