<p>One reason why our legislatures can’t fund our public universities more is because Texas is required to have a balanced budget. So we can only spend what we get. While in California they don’t have this problem. (Which is why they are bankrupt also).</p>
<p>Well honestly I am going to end my argument here because no matter what we post on this site, it’s not going to change anything in the Texas Legislature.</p>
<p>But one last point I will make is that we just put a band aid on the problem by this modified top 10% rule instead of fixing it from the root.</p>
