Title: Monopolies cost too much, produce too little, are too slothful and wasteful, and ...
Topic: Education: spending and taxes
Discussed by Dr. Byron Schlomach
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

Less than half of all dollars spent on education make it to the classroom. Dr. Schlomack shares an Economics 101 lesson with us: monopolies cost too much, produce too little, are slothful and wasteful and are constantly seeking more protection from competition and always cry for more money.
