The percentage increases in spending for the U.S. departments of defense,
health and human services, and education, 1996-2003, have been 48, 96 and
132, respectively. Total spending per pupil, adjusted for inflation, is two
and a half times what is was in 1965. But NAEP reading scores are
essentially unchanged. This refutes the durable delusion that schools'
cognitive outputs vary directly with financial inputs.
