Is Education in the Crosshairs?

ADVERTISEMENTS

Talkingpointsmemo.com has education in the crosshairs of Senators working on the Stimulus Package:

The biggest hit is on education spending.

A few examples of the recommended cuts ...

$24.786 Billion on "State Stabilization Money"
$15 Billion for "State Incentive Grants"
$6.75 Billion for "IDEA", proposed cut 50%
$6.5 Billion for "Title I Funding", proposed cut 50%

I don't really get how education is not stimulating? Not only is it jobs RIGHT NOW because teachers and education staff are going to be RIFed without some help from the Fed. ... but it is also stimulative in the future because the kids of today are the employees and entrepreneurs of tomorrow. In fact, pulling money away from education as these Senators seem to be doing will stifle our economy down the road ... not stimulate it. Round and round we go ... where education winds up no one knows.
