Sad America

Well everyone that that having Obama in the white house would usher in a new emphases on education but not so fast… He is not in the white house and already he has brought about “change”. Change in his view on education. He has decided to take the approach of tinkering with education rather than making a bunch of radical “changes”.

Obama once called for increased funding for teacher training and better testing of the students. Obama stated that he wanted to INCREASE SPENDING on early-childhood education by about $10 billion dollars, at the same time turn around and offer up a 4k tax credit for college students who do 100 hours of community service that was voluntary.

Now that the reality of a poor economy is staring him in the face, and he need to rescue business rather than children the money isn’t there to increase spending. It really makes you wonder if all of those other wonderful campaign promises will come true… (oh the ones about increasing taxes I am sure that one will come true…)
