Why does that matter?

What decrease?  I see no decrease in the numbers posted above.

I made no theory about the effects of spending.

Well, apparently in Norway you learn too little about American governance to
know how education spending here is determined.  But I would not expect you
to, just as I wouldn't purport to be able to comment on the treatment of
Lapps and ethnic Swedes, much less immigrants from Turkey, in your country.

Too bad you don't understand the text in that article, which doesn't support
your prejudices at all.

No that is NOT what "district spending" means in the context of that article.

Who apparently needs more education in English comprehension (and spelling -
the word is "lose", loser) before he goes up "agains" an educated American in
matters about his country's political affairs.
