Soon after Congress returns from the Memorial Day recess, liberal House Democrats and teacher unions will make one last push to pass a $23 billion fund to prevent teacher layoffs.

Democrats are looking to package the fund with war and disaster spending in a supplemental appropriations bill the House will vote on as early as this week.

All that money could be used for school vouchers.

Then the good teachers might be hired by the good schools, and all the dead wood could get jobs at Burger King.

(a little sarcasm)

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO - do you hear me now?

Bailout another union and we want bailouts for every single citizen in the US (actually I don't want ANY bailouts, but you get my point). Isn't there something in the Constitution that states the Feds cannot give one group bennies over another group, or some states over other states?

Schools are getting enough money. If the job can’t be done now, tripling the funding won’t do the trick.

...to save teachers jobs THIS YEAR.
What happens next year when we still can’t afford it?
Another 23B?

In our town we just voted down a $32,000,000 ($51,000,000 when paid off) bond election to build......guess what...........what does it have to do with education........was it needed.......???????

In my county I have been voting "no" on every school bond issue since I moved here. Unfortunately, they always pass. Masochism, I guess.

Actually after reading this article I jotted of a letter to my representative. Which for my area where they are laying off whole slews of teachers...will get somebody a bit riled up.

I told him bailout vote, no property taxes for schools.

Seriously. They’ve been paid once already. I refuse to pay them twice for the same job. Get it.

Then don't bail them out. Tax revolt time is here. Congress bailsout teachers...no local tax revenue.
