raul-We spend about half per student than what they spend in a lot of big inner city school districts in the NE and we get MUCH better results AND we still have art, music, band, athletics, etc. I send my grandson to a private Christian school that spends about $5K per student per year (LESS than half of those NE school districts) and their SAT scores are MUCH higher than the national average.

As part of her big-brother-knows-best "Let's Move!" campaign to combat childhood obesity, Michelle Obama has been arguing that certain inner-city urban neighborhoods and rural communities are "food deserts," where it's difficult for residents to find access to fresh, healthy, and nutritious food. Mrs. Obama's solution is for the federal government to funnel public money (or, as her esteemed husband might faultily term it, "make an investment") into bringing healthy food retailers into these neighborhoods.
