I don't think that anyone in the Dem party is throwing money at the

This is of course so innacurate as to be ludicrous. There are some
places in the U.S. where the teachers are paid lower than in other
places and that is mostly in rural areas. Around here the average salery
is over $100,000 for tenured teachers, not to mention the quite
lucrative benefits package and three months off in summer along with
several paid vacations during the year. In studies of the nation's
profession's saleries, teachers ranked up near the top as a nationwide
average. Are some underpaid? Sure. But most are not.
