I thought the point of your graph was that education spending has increased a lot over the years.

My point was that in context, no, it really hasn't. The graph is scary until you realize that the cost of services grows quickly.


The point is that the increases have happened with no corresponding improvement in results. And the numbers are constant dollars - do you really think the cost of services have doubled in 2008 dollars in 30 years?

OT: Your icon probably has a very sweet story behind it, but I have always seen it and gotten freaked out because it looks just like a picture of a tall friend of mine with a short horror movie person, and I keep being reminded of it.
