California + Oracle = $95 Million Fiasco

They apparently purchased 270,000 licenses, which is more than all the state workers, including prison guards and others who would never need it." How do you think Oracle would treat the whole country?
can DEMAND that they take a billion or so dollars and move them from Defense Spending to Education spending
Look, putz, haven't we given the failure called the Department of Education enough money? Maybe that billion dollars shouldn't go to the military (it should, however) but just throwing it away in the Dept. of Ed. trash can isn't going to help the illerate kids in inner city hellholes. Oh, and btw, the Dept. of Ed. is actually unconstitutional anyway. Check it out for yourself.
That billion dollars you speak of should go from the DoD budget to state education programs, which are actually legal.
What? Smaller federal government? I must be some sort of Nazi, right? I mean, federalizing the airport baggage screeners made air flight so much safer, and at a much better cost too! (hint: both are incorrect.)
Well since the top 1% controll ~90% of the wealth that sure makes sense to me =)
There are 4 boxes to use in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order. Starting now.
It's only the truth for someone who did not succeed in his local public school and thinks the best way to fix it is by killing people. Truly said like someone who is uneducated, sir, congratulations on your narrowminded ignorance and cowardice. Would we all know your nick if you had your gun?
Lack of eloquence does not denote lack of intelligence, though they often coincide.
