The stupidity and corruption of government at all levels

The fed, states, cities and school districts all squandered the billions with absolutely nothing to show for it but shrinking enrollments and historically poor educational outcomes. Shame on them.
More and bigger government!!!! Great job rats!!!! Billions just pissed away into thin air.
Imagine, the same liberal assholes who claim they are teaching our children arithmetic, reading & writing, science and history, can't do basic math and budgeting.
How many billions did we waste on diversity and racism administrators?

School Budget Cliffs With Gaping Holes
New York City’s school system went on a spending spree during the pandemic, thanks to the $7.5 billion in federal money it received as part of a $189 billion national relief package aimed at addressing education problems incurred by lockdowns and school closures.
U.S. schools continue a dubious COVID track record of mask mandates, school shutdowns, declining enrollment, poor student achievement -- and now mismanagement of copious federal pandemic aid.
Although the funds were nonrecurring, the nation’s largest school district used some of the money for enduring budget items and programs, including hiring 500 social workers, opening new bilingual programs, and expanding summer learning centers.
New York is joined by numerous other school systems that used the temporary funds to beef up staff. Some are already handing out pink slips.
In Stockton, Calif., the district is laying off 19 full-time employees hired with part of the $241 million the school district received in COVID relief. The district acknowledged that some of the money, which funded a total of 163 positions, was misspent.
Seattle schools received $145 million in relief and is handing out pink slips to up to 70 employees as it struggles with enrollment that has dropped 16% since 2020. Relief spending included $1.4 million on “equity work” and “response to racism.”
The district acknowledged its economic mismanagement in a public notice explaining its $131 million deficit: “Enrollment has decreased … while staff has increased.”
