Have the democrats shifted left?

Yep. Check out education spending and the number of teachers in 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2008.


Each decade more and more and more of the private sector is bitten off and gifted to the unions to gift back to the Democratic party, because the Democratic party politicos spew nonsense about how we need student:teacher ratios to decline significantly from where they were 10 years prior.

Seriously? You're basing a theory of Democratic leftward swing on education spending? And you're calling the student:teacher ratio nonsense? And do you even pay attention to where more spending comes from these days (hint: it's not unions)?

Seriously, you just made a bunch of bull up.

It is of course no coincidence that the nation somehow grew by roughly 600,000 teachers between 1970 and 1995 while the student population declined!

I didn't make anything up; you've been the one talking about how the student: teacher ratio is nonsense. How is it nonsense?

And do you deny that corporations spend more on politics (both sides) than unions do these days?

Either way, I can't understand how you're inferring a complete left-ward swing based on those too factors, one of which is completely false.

yes

No (economically at lest).
