This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

if you can't tell this is sarcasm, then you might not be best placed to be on the internet message boards, as you might misunderstand 99% of comments

As mentioned by @w2qw@aussie.zone above:

This is just federal spending. Most educational spending is at the state level.
