A government spending money is an investment in the country it governs. It doesn’t make sense for government to raise just enough money to operate the basic necessities. Government spending is a driver of the economy, and as long as taxes are kept to a level that maintains the income without being unjust or cruel, it perpetuates a positive-feedback cycle.

In WA and CA, universities are considered the powering force of the economy, creating the knowledge necessary for innovations, and creating the skilled work force to bring them to market. The companies in the area acknowledge that and ALWAYS lobby for increased support for higher education.

What do they know that other people dont?
