First project...of course they had cameras there the whole works...lol<BR/><BR/>So, I feel bad for the citizens of the states where these idiots live.. I think they are just playing to the cameras right now. As soon as the new wears off a little they will quietly take the money and be done with it. I could be wrong but that's what I think.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16344077085109588258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-82136031456434609152009-02-19T00:27:00.001-05:002009-02-19T00:27:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-65780490354094748062009-02-19T00:27:00.000-05:002009-02-19T00:27:00.000-05:00fran::education or jails ? yup...you are so right....fran::<BR/>education or jails ? yup...you are so right...<BR/><BR/>give people jobs ? or they turn to crime ...or even true long term poverty creates terra....<BR/><BR/>I think instead of handing money out ( the tarp) they should be using the money to create job training centers...VO-Tech schools..make wind mills solar panels ...light rail....etc etc..<BR/><BR/>and set up clinics in schools so atleast children equate good healthcare with being educated...on and on....we all have ideas...enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-48407904020298860642009-02-18T23:12:00.000-05:002009-02-18T23:12:00.000-05:00Fran said...Huh!

Enough money for books for everyone. Enough money to have a reasonable class size- teacher to student ratio. <BR/><BR/>All the buildings I have visited had serious aging issues- leaky roofing, ancient boiler systems, poor air circulation, funky uncomfortable desks. For so many years education has been something they barely keep going, but more focused on witch hunts & the No child left behind garbage, rather than quality programs, funded materials, and necessary building upgrades. <BR/>There is a constant thrreat of axing art & music programs, even those have proven track records in helping students academically. <BR/>I look at it this way... either you fund education, or you pay for jails. People need to be educated enough to have a career that supports a livelihood. <BR/>There is always the potential to soar above basic needs, and it is a positive affirming thing. People who can support themselves contribute to the overall good. Most other countries have already figured this out & fully fund & support education. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Let's face it.... the next generations are going to need to be mathematical geniuses to get us out of the Bush bankruptcy. <BR/><BR/>The republicans just seem to be able to approve money for wars... $600 billion (even more if you look at all the peripherals- Vet care/long term medical, etc). <BR/><BR/>They would be short cutting their own constituents..... but hey, if they really feel that way, California could really use the cash.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-4644791234089224782009-02-18T23:07:00.000-05:002009-02-18T23:07:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.com
