This isn't the entire bill, but you get the idea. They took a bill related to the FAA and inserted a bunch of crap. This looks more like a mishmash of other laws and regulations lumped together in a single bill that currently has no name.
-
Kinda hard to tell the FAA to go pound sand when radar systems, and other assets are ancient and crumbling.
It's a great way to pile on the pork. Or to rob Peter to pay Paul. Congress has been doing this kind of shit for a very, very long time.
-
What disturbs me the most is that the Government is saying that military benefits are unsustainable and yet, they rape the military in order to cater to the teacher's unions. What's more important, the defense of this country or brainwashing our children to become little Progressives?? (That's a rhetorical question, BTW)
-
From what I gather, the actual number of teacher positions that are going to be "saved" is rather small. It's a huge payout to the teachers' unions. They will turn around and funnel that money right back to the Obamessiah's campaign for 2012. I know a whole bunch of teachers, a lot of young ones among that number, and I can't think of a single bad person in that lot. It's the expletive-deleted teachers unions that are the roadblock in education. Eventually, they swallow up good teachers.
-
Actually, the number of "saved" teacher jobs is non-existent. This is a payoff to the unions, nothing more.
