Are these REALLY "shovel ready" jobs(!), or more shovels full of political payola for the corrupt teachers unions????

How will this help those who are currently unemployed? This does nothing for the economy, nor does it help foster job creation. Hey, Junior's school got more money to help him develop his "ideas," meanwhile his unemployed parents can't put food on the table and have to declare bankruptcy. The "economic" stimulus is just as confused as the administration.

Money that we don't have. I wish it was that easy at my house...

before reagan, bush sr, bush jr, clinton , and free trade america had all kinds of jobs,now if china did n,t send ship,s full of goods america is dead.

This will be interesting to see the ideas that come from this....and I think some great ideas are out there....think of the science or ethics programs that can be developed...or enhanced...I'll guess we will see better results in our children's 'real' schooling through this than the typical ed day.

This isn't stimulus money, it is taxpayer money going to pork, pork and more pork projects. At least it is going to education and not some welfare program. Hopefully, the states won't turn around and withhold the same amount from school budgets as they have done with powerball and casinos.

Finally a president who cares about the education of ALL of his citizens!

So we are now borrowing from China to fund education? Why not use some of the government wasted money Obama says he can get when he cuts Medicare instead of borrowing more?

so which schools tend to be "innovative"? The school districts that have money. This isnt helping.

I have several earth shattering unique education initiatives that could revolutionize how we teach in the country. Here they are:

1. Make kids attend classes.
2. Give them homework and make them do it.
3. Compel parents to get involved with their kids education
4. Test the heck out of students -
5. Kids failing need to go to summer school

6. Any kid age 16 or over that flunks out of high school goes to Afghanistan

FROM: WE THE PEOPLE, OF THE UNITED STATES
STOP SPENDING!!!!! REALLY – I KNOW YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW DIRE THIS IS...
STOP IT!!!!! STOP HEMORRHAGING MONEY AND KILLING OUR COUNTRY
YOUR SOCIALIST AGENDA, SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS, UNIONS, AND YOUR MINIONS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE have breached your duty to our nation, and apparently refuse to undertake ANY action that might help the country. Your agenda and your buddies on Wall Street, at ACORN, SEIU, APOLLO Alliance, CAP, and last, but certainly not least GEORGE SOROS are more important to you.

If Zimbabwe style hyperinflation ensues, then their money, your money, and the government's money will be just as worthless as ours.
If the playing field is leveled to that degree, and everyone starts at square one again with zero money, HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHO TO KISS UP TO to get ahead?

Personally, I'd rather fund a few jobs than a bunch of "ideas to be developed." How about you?

So, is this "stimulus" actually going to be directed to programs that create jobs, or is it just a means to further promote leftist indoctrination in public schools?

Maybe a talent show, which school district can perform the best hymn to Obama?
