    Not increasing funding is not a cut. In fact, the schools will still get more money every year. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Okay bear with me here. So school budgets will still go up by the rate of inflation. Inflation is how much more expensive things have become, so in inflation-adjusted dollars, they will be getting the same amount of money. Does that make sense?

    Yes, ok bear with me. You know inflation is always 100% accurate to reflect real costs right?
