"I look forward to the day when the schools automatically receive the funds they need and the Pentagon holds bake sales to buy tanks."

A lot more money is spent on education than on the military in the USA (where education is funded by three levels of government), and most other countries.

US education spending is about 20-30% more than military spending, but the money is not well-allocated.

Most funding is from local taxes, which vary greatly from school to school, and sometimes from year to year.

In fairness, the military spending probably is also not well-allocated...
