At one time, the public education system was a one-size-fits-all approach to getting students from kindergarten through high school.
Now, there are nearly as many options as there are students — each one with strengths that might appeal to different students and their parents.
A couple of recent reports illustrate just how dire the United States federal government's debt situation really is.
The federal government took in a record $2.9 trillion in tax revenues for the first 11 months of the fiscal year (through the end of August), up about 7.4 percent from the same period the year before. Using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, CNS News calculated that this translates to approximately $19,346 for every person in the country who had a full-time or part-time job. Yet, even these record revenues could not satisfy the government's insatiable spending, which totaled $3.4 trillion during the period, resulting in a deficit of $530 billion.
