Never before has it cost so much to produce so little ... at a time when the state of South Carolina (and the taxpayers who support it) can ill afford to waste a penny.

In the worst economic year since the Great Depression, South Carolina's public schools received a record $8.4 billion in government funding - a 4.5% increase from the previous year.

That boosts per pupil funding in the Palmetto State over $12,000 for the first time in state history, although less than half of that money is actually making it into the classroom.

the people of sc would do well to get mr sanford out of office as soon as possible. the state has been stagnant ever since he has been in office. i lived in barnwell for close to 9 years and even voted for this guy twice. but since he has confessed to having this affair and this so called lady is his 'soul mate' he needs to pack his bags and leave pronto. God does not bless over sin. never has. never will. he will eventually bring sc down lower than it already is. shame on thoses who knew about this while it was going on. you are no better than he is. look this up. proverbs 14:34.

I heard recently that I had a reputation around town... of stirring trouble or causing a commotion....

Infinitesimal gains … infinitesimal losses.

At the end of the day, it’s all the same crap sandwich – and South Carolina parents, students and teachers continue having to take bites from it while the bureaucrats holding them back vacation at the luxurious Kingston Plantation in Myrtle Beach
