Wow, these spending proposals are coming fast and daily.
The deficit and debt is going up enough now. Liberals claim that President Trump's tax reductions are costing more than advertised. The Democratic proposals are going to be far, far, far more than advertised.
The cost of legislation is always far, far than advertised. It's also became a daily occurance where Democrats are proposing new debt and tax raising schemes for programs that can be addressed at the state and local level.
If a state or district wants to raise taxes for $13,500 raises for each teacher than let it be.

You cant compare the cost to educate a child in the US and compare it to other nations.
We have schools that have 30 sports teams for both sexes vs some European systems that dont sponsor school run sports teams at all. Some of those nations also have systems that dont pay for their students transportation either.
You would have to basically compare the bare bones of each system to figure out how much more (or less) the US is spending per child, and I dont see any real comparisons online.
Move all of the extracurricular stuff out of the schools (and into the private sector) and save the money.
Then deal with the content of what's being taught.
Start there.
Continuing to throw money at it when it's already not working is insanity.
Or just abolish all government schools completely and let parents pay their own way.
