   It's a comparison, when added to the sentence in preceding it.  The   
   sentence you conveniently left out.  This is what I said...   
      
   "States are almost entirely responsible for their standard of   
   education.  The feds provide very little public school funding."   
      
   See how you lie and obfuscate..?
