Pelosi fires warning shot at GOP over state aid (Teacher's Union Bailout)
The Hill ^ | 8/9/2010 | Eric Zimmerman

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lambasted House Republicans on Monday for opposing a $26 billion package of aid to states while supporting an extension of President George W. Bush's tax cuts.

Pelosi said the state aid legislation — which would prevent teacher layoffs, among other goals — would save American jobs without adding to the deficit. She contrasted that with the tax cuts, which are not paid for with equivalent spending cuts.

"Congressional Republicans want to saddle future generations with nearly $700 billion in debt to extend tax cuts for the wealthiest few, while opposing a fully paid-for jobs bill that reduces the deficit and keeps teachers in the classroom and police officers on the beat," Pelosi said.

Republicans have characterized the bill as a gift to Democratic interest groups. Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) called the legislation "a payoff to union bosses and liberal special interests," also pointing out that part of the legislation is paid for with a tax increase on multinational corporations.

First cut the bueracracy. The administrative state is much more of a money drain than teachers, police, firemen, garbage men etc...Much, much more.

I don’t know what teachers make in your area but many are around 90k and up here with summers off and full benefits.

Batman would have already eaten her and Reid for breakfast, left them tied up, unconscious, on the Capitol steps with the proof needed taped to their bindings. By now he’d be 3/4 of the way to obtaining the information needed to drop Obama.

That’s a lot, no doubt but the bueracracy - and its reason for existing - are still worse. If left unchecked (and it has been so since Reagan) it will grow so large that it will consume everything.

A bailout for her allies. Watch the money turn around and be donated to Democrats. That is how they launder tax money.
