But the dollars spent on economic incentives and new investment strategies are wasted unless we seriously address the two most important economic issues in Kansas: education and health care.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I believe we all agree that, for the health of Kansas, nothing is more important than education.
Like health care, education is something worth spending on and worth investing in, but we're spending more and getting less.
The amount of money we spend on education is important, but not nearly as important as how the money is spent.
Health care costs are an issue both for the government and for our larger economy.
We should be trying to make education less expensive, not more.
We need to increase education budgets.
I think we spend too much on K-12 education a.k.a. teachers' salaries. It's the only industry where you never see any productivity increases.
As a society, we can and should invest more money in education.
It's not how much you spend, it's how you spend it. We have been putting a lot of money into education in the state of Nevada, and it's gotten us to 50th in the country in graduation rates. We needed more accountability in our system.
I can't think of anything right now that could be more damaging for our economy than passing and putting into effect and implementing Obamacare.
