Obama signs emergency bill to halt teacher layoffs

"The aid for the states is to be paid for mostly by closing a tax loophole used by multinational corporations and by reducing food stamp benefits for the poor...The legislation provides $10 billion to school districts to rehire laid-off teachers or to ensure that more teachers won't be let go before the new school year begins."

Mutually Assured Destruction [Tues. debacle confirms growing rift between Dems & teachers unions.]
American Spectator ^ | 11/5/10 | RiShawn Biddle
"Congressional Democrats angered centrist school reformers, MoveOn.org-style progressives, and other party activists in August when they voted to ladle $10 billion in federal subsidies (funded from future cuts to the Food Stamp program) to school districts in order to stave off layoffs of 160,000 teachers (or just 2.6 percent of the nation's 6.2 million school employees). In turn, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers poured more than $40 million of their hefty campaign war chests (including more than $15 million by the NEA in the last weeks of the election season alone) to help the Democrats keep full control of Congress."

Yes, good point, I agree, LUV W. Individually we conservatives need to maintain strength and our courage as well.

Yet I also believe that undoing the damage to our Nation perpetrated by Obama will be a massive, costly project and it will last decades.

And I also think that that was part of their plan. They're counting on people forgetting history, forgetting how our Nation was created. If our generation won't forget, they're betting future generations will.

Obama is a mole.

Yup, and not only is Congress complicit in the destruction, they are calling for more cuts.
