The controller’s website seemed to be the most accurate even though it’s a two year old pie chart, but looking at past years, nothing real dramatic changes. Don’t get your data from a teachers union.
Corrections/rehabilitation I assume includes prisons and parole, probably some other crap. It’s usually 9-10% of the budget.
K-12 is 28% of the budget and higher education is 12%, they combine to be 40%, thus 4 times what is spent on prisons. Health and human services (welfare and medical for the poor) another 40%. 80% of the budget is for school, welfare and medical.
Feel free to back to complaining about whatever it everyone is mad about or who they are mad at. But I actually pay these new higher fees, and no, princeton would not be cheaper for me, we aren’t poor, we are hopelessly white, my kids lack any particular athletic skill and their grades and test scores are near the top but aren’t the top, so the 7k a year for CSU and the 12k for UC still looks like a good deal for us.
