    Note that the CEO's also don't go very far for teacher pay. It looks like a few hundred CEO's cut would raise teachers pay by ~$100/month. Same mistake: 4 million is a big number to divide by.

    How about all the money made by health insurance companies that shouldn't exist? That'd go a long way toward funding education.

    If we believe the internet, all of that is funneled to the CEOs, and so the previous post applies?

    (Which seems absurd to me, but maybe the bills are rare enough that this makes sense? Does anybody have data on how big that figure is vs actual cost of the buildings+labor+materials? We could compare to other countries, but then I think we're seeing a difference in infrastructure, social and physical, more than malfeasance.)
