Obama is a sociopathic lier.  These additional funds will not go to teachers, firemen, or policemen.  They will go to political hacks and their cronies.  Puleeeese stop listening to Obama.

Obama wants more money. How is that news?

hello. i want $32 billion for my aunt in Ocala. she is a good person, and is extremely charitable, and deserves a more dignified life: of lavish spending and sheltered security; than she is currently able to afford. just fire through a bill before midnight this Saturday, and you will never hear from me again; maybe. she used to like me. there was that swimming pool incident, and i do not know what her daughter said to her in private (that was an unrelated incident) and i hope that she has moved forward, and changed her opinion of me. hope and change spending.

We need the Federal Government to lessen its share of taxes on individuals so the state can afford a larger share for teachers.  I believe the Feds should derive all their taxes from corporations since the corporations seem to control their actions.

As far as Police go, we have too many.  The current ones should be paid more but be better educated and less of them.  When they have idle time to pull over seat belt violators, there are too many.

These teachers’ jobs could all have been saved in the original stimulus plan if Obama and the Democrats had not caved in to the Republicans and wasted over half the package on tax breaks.  But better late than never, I suppose. 
Now watch the Republicans and the select Democrats stop the measure dead in its tracks because “it increases the deficit.”
Then watch the recession continue for another five years.

Better yet. 1. Why take it from the taxpayers of state and local governments in the first place? 2. Why must it be laundered thru Washington first?

Answers:
1. It shouldn’t be.

2. Power and control over YOUR life.

“The money would go to state and local governments struggling to make ends meet.”

With no strings attached, you can be sure of that.
