They have been carving out education dollars to add more administrators over the last 30 years,leading to budgets strained for actual teaching while increasing the amount of bureaucracy. All this just to ensure the populace doesn't get too smart and start thinking of implementing new systems like sortition and ranked choice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Artisian@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago Administrative costs are high in health care and education (which are not really the US federal government), but I can't find data on this for the labor costs to administrative professionals in government. Source? Labor costs are high for the federal government, but I thought a lot of that was pensions + regular raises. I don't think these things should be attributed to capitalism run amok. permalink fedilink source parent
