Education cuts necessary

Sometimes I think people just don’t get it.

In any budget, you have income, and you have expenses. For the states facing education cuts, the math is simple.

You’re getting screwed!

Why it matters

The Georgia legislature and the USG are going full-speed ahead on the plan to slash $300-400 million from the higher education budget for fiscal year 2011. As I wrote last week and as anyone not living under a rock knows, that is a gargantuan soul-crushing budget cut. It’s not so much a budget cut as it is a budget evisceration.
