Why don`t we use Republican star wars project or money they borrowed from social security for Wis workers?

Do you want a real answer to this question or are you just trolling?

Obviously, allocated funds for one project are not going to be reallocated for another project of a completely unrelated nature.

In a free-market, people are paid fair wages. If I do a job that anyone else can do, such as a professional envelop licker, I should not expect to be paid very well because my skills are not in high demand. No business is competing for me to work for them, so there is not a wage war to bring me to one company instead of another to lick envelopes for them. However, if you have a skill that makes you rare, businesses are forced to offer you more money to win you over.

This makes perfect sense. The problem with many Universities is that they do not adhere to this basic economic principle of supply and demand. Logic says that the better an employee is, the more you pay them. This way, employees have an incentive to do better work, so they can get paid more. An employee who does better work is good for the overall health of the business.

Universities do not pay teachers who do good work. Universities pay teachers based on how long they have been teaching at that campus, REGARDLESS of how good of a teacher they are. This is known as tenure, in which teachers are basically promised a job at the university in exchange for large sums of money, despite their performance. A crappy teacher can be given tenure, and get paid more than is fair for decades. However better teachers who decline tenure might be fired simply because they refuse to join a teacher union.

This has artificially increased the costs of education, because bad teachers are getting paid more, and good teachers are getting fired, which not only burdens students (and the government) with greater tuition costs, but also reduces the quality of education!

Government budget cuts are NOT to blame for this current situation. Teachers unions and inefficiently run public-funded universities are to blame for this situation.
