    It makes perfect sense once you realize that their media literacy is through the basement. Regular literacy too, I’d wager. 54% of adults (in America) read below the sixth-grade level. Source.

      This is a pretty interesting link. I knew the low literacy rate fact before, but from a different source.

      The economic cost of low literacy in the U.S. is estimated at $2.2 trillion annually due to productivity losses.

      Filing this under “conservatives are so stupid. so fucking stupid.”. they want to save money by gutting education and that’s just ass-backwards.
