Hello,
It has been a while since I have posted here & due to time constraints I have condenced this message some what, & not elaborated more on certain points. Perhaps I will post a few follow ups. Another untapped financial resource for lunar exploration: Despite the overwheling rejection of my last post with regards to encouraging individuals to e-mail corporations encouraging them to try to finance space & lunar exploration projects, I thought I would post information about another great potential financial resource. An additional untapped financial resource is the $400 billion we spend each year on the public school system (pss) in the U.S. This figure does not include additional billions spent on colleges, private schools, trade schools, & the Department of Education ($52 billion). Ten per cent or 40 Billion dollars goes to new construction. Let me explain this to you even though every one knows it but will not admit it to themselves. First of all our PSS is a total failure, & this is despite the large amounts of expenditures. I want to point out that just because a student goes throught the pss & becomes a doctor, an accountant or a successfull business person still does not mean that our pss is a success. If any thing it is the good students who are harmed the most by it. So we believe that if we just keep throwing money at a flawed process that it will fix the problem. One of the reasons it is a flawed system is that teachers spend a majority of their time just trying to maintain order in the classroom. One way to do this is to promote the use of vouchers. Another way is to cut teachers salaries in half. Just about every one knows deep down inside that if we keep having inflation that cut backs will have to be made. No one wants to face this reality even though we know it is true. Inflation will bring about cut backs which will force it on to the internet. What can be done? Write Or email your state politicians demanding that less money be spent on education. Also write them requesting that teachers salaries be cut. Better yet, just request that they scrap the entire pss & transform it over to the internet. Also write the President requesting an end to the Dept. of Education. Doing this alone will free up enough funds to carry out a successfull plan of Lunar exploration & still have alot left over. Joel |
