So the 20 billion dollars that was meant for education is not going to create jobs?

[thewiseguy]

They eliminated money that was going to NSF. Where do these idiots think this money goes? :shrug:

[leftstreet]

1. We don't need noe educations

I know. I don't get it.

:shrug:

4. If you think about it for a while

that's the point. The repukes REALLY DON'T WANT an educated electorate. It would be a self limiting move to vote for education funding.

6. BINGO!! that is it, exactly.

[DebJ]

2. If by idiot you mean Repub, if it isn't going in their rich buddies'

pockets, they think it is 'waste'. And of course they think education for anyone who is not rich is waste.

3. It was reduced not eliminated, n/t

[enki23]

5. there's no such thing as teachers. or scientists, for that matter.

those aren't, as i'm sure you know, actual *jobs*. not like life insurance salesman, or assistant to the regional manager's liaison to the defective body armor screw fastener post-manufacturing division's rebranding awareness team. now *those* are fucking *jobs*.

7. Republicans like people to be kept stupid and uninformed

All the easier to manipulate them in campaigns with Karl Rove crap.

[Thrill]

8. The House and the WH will add some of the spending in conference

Then you only need 50 Senate votes.
