Obama signs bill to prevent teacher layoffs
The recent bill signed tuesday by president Obama will help out our education system alot. With the Economy in shambles, many teahcers, including alot that have extensive experience in the field, are in danger of layoffs. The bill will give government capital to the federally ran school systems decreasing the danger of good teachers losing their jobs. The future of our nation will depend on young citizens to recieve a good education to run our country. The way our education system is looking we are getting left in the dust by other industrialized countries; the danger toward these teachers does not ease this gap between our nation either. The 26 billion dollars the government is now going to invest into our education system will not be spent in vien. Many opposers feel that this is an unneeded use of our federal tax dollars; however, how could helpng our children recieve a better education,from a larger more experienced teacher pool, unneeded. Republicans feel this is just a give away that will effect our nations long term recovery wrongly; but this is the exact thought that put our country into the first major economic depression. President Hoover felt that if the government did not spend anything, the economy would be fixed in time; this led to an even greater unemployment and inflation that the event is know as the great depression. If our country learned anything from the hardest time in our history, it would be that to end an economic issue, the governent needs to spend capital, to generate capital. This is basic modern economics that often get over looked.
