The Mayors of American Cities are holding their annual meeting now. The mayor of Baltimore is quoted as saying, "We are building bridges in Kandahar, but we can't build bridges in Baltimore. What is wrong with this picture?"
We are also building schools in Kandahar, but yesterday's Los Angeles Times carried front page stories on all the community colleges that were shutting down summer school because they didn't have enough money to operate.
What is wrong with this picture?
