In the case of teachers getting a “stimulus” fund that was all the Democrats could talk about. They wanted to make sure no Child is Left Behind. Yet, Obama was very quiet about the funding. He stole the money from food stamp recipients--though that will not happen till 2014--three years from now, if ever.
“We’re taking money from feeding poor kids so middle class teachers don’t have to look for jobs, said Frederick M. Hess, director of the Education Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.
The bill has spawned criticism from poverty issue advocates as well, who have voiced dissent over the depletion of funding for the food stamp program."
Yet, states are getting the "teacher union money" that do not need it. "Arkansas, for example, has a fully funded teaching staff for the coming year, but the state will still receive up to $91 million for teaching jobs.....In Alaska for instance, school districts made hiring decisions for teachers last May, and apportioned the children in each class based upon those numbers. Although the teaching jobs are filled, the state will still receive $24 million under the bill, and a state official asserted that it probably would not go to adding new teachers.
Obama is taking food out of the mouths of the poor and giving the money to States that do not need it and to school districts that have already paid for the teachers for the upcoming school year.
Looks like unions have a stranglehold on Obama and the rest of the people, even the poor, are damned and hungry. Why hasn't the media discussed this aspect of the abuse of power?
