Educational thought for the week:

Did Arne Duncan REALLY say this?  If so, he needs accounting 101.  A $16 Trillion debt is a  huge number.  And what's a budget for anyway?  Harry Reid can't make sense of it either.

.@ArneDuncan: "Budgets reflect our values. They're not numbers. We're either gna invest in education, or we're not." #edcities
