Wow, ONE whole American job vs.FIVE jobs for the Fins. Sounds like a great investment of our tax money. <sarcasm off>
the Obama apologists can never admit that they are wrong or were duped by the Obama rhetoric
Absolutely. What I found outrageous about the whole affair is the dubious claim that they could find no facilities in the U.S. that could build the cars. If anyone believes that, I've got a bridge over the Ohio River for sale.
I wonder how much the Finnish government gave them to locate there?
Obama's goal is to generate 1 BILLION dollars for his re-election. Wonder how many Americans that billion dollars would help?

As far as Mitt's $32mill will go to help Wall Street and Big Business.
And yet again the Democrats failed. They could not even keep their party together. It is gone now. So the Democrat Senate voted for more murders and more rapes. Awesome. I love the VP. He is the gift that just keeps on giving. Which name do you prefer for the lovable lug, Plugs Biden or Joe Biteme?Expert opinion does matter to me. Turtledude opinion doesn't matter me, or the majority of the country apparently, as 63% of the country supports the American Jobs Act.
Yes. Let us close down the extra-constitutional department of education. It is just one more slush fund for democrat politicians through union dues.So you are for cutting spending on a federal level for schools? Even if that means teachers get payed less and the school can't afford new text books?
How much are taxpayers paying per American job? 529 million divided by 100 American jobs. Typical government program, wouldn't you say?As the Car Talk guys might say BOGUS!

Again if they don't have the economy/tax base why do they need schools? Economy/income in taxes is population driven. If the population is not sufficent to support taxes adequate for schools then they must consolidate with adjacent areas until adequate resources are available to support said school. Just because they want a 'local' school is not sufficient reason for other areas to financially support their 'want' via federal tax redistribution.

Yes. The states need to get their acts together. As long as there are liberals there will be increasing misery.So you think that states that have more poor people living in them should get less funding (because they generate less tax revenue)?
Who got more money from Wall Street, Romney or Obama?
Who should Wall St have feared more: the Progressive or the Conservative?
Don't see an answer to the question

Obama got more. Why do you think that is?
because he got the most benefit from Wall Street with Larry Summer and Tim Geithner in his Administration?

Now you invoke the second ‘standard Liberal tactic’, misdirection. This conversation was based on economy/income. To infer more poor people suggests that you assume some theoretical demographic knowledge of said ‘state’. Is your reference to those ‘poor people’ who have cable/satellite TV, xbox, etc.? Surely if those comforts are available to them there are sufficient resources (economy) to support local school funding. I mean real what is the priority here education or comforts?
Consider this do poverty statistics typically account for regional cost of living differences? How about city/urban/rural considerations? Do you think these affect the cost of schooling? Does re-apportionment address these adequately? Are resources lost to the ‘administration’ of this ‘forced re-apportionment’ not depriving the real goal, education?
Strawman
Do you not understand that if there are more poor people there is less tax revenue in an area? Do you not understand that the rich provide majority of the social services, which they deserve to pay. So, if you have a bunch of poor people paying a low amount of money, how do you propose the children get an education? Lets remember, a child's job is to go to school, his job isn't to be a politician, his job isn't to pay taxes, he didn't screw up in life by not going to college. Again, the only way for these low income states to have proper schools is a federal tax. You don't want to admit this because that would mean we NEED a federal income tax.
The responsibility for K-12 education rests with the states under the Constitution. There is also a compelling national interest in the quality of the nation's public schools. Therefore, the federal government, through the legislative process, provides assistance to the states and schools in an effort to supplement, not supplant, state support. The primary source of federal K-12 support began in 1965 with the enactment of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
Annual Secondary Education Expenditures per Student
ESEA authorizes grants for elementary and secondary school programs for children of low-income families; school library resources, textbooks and other instructional materials; supplemental education centers and services; strengthening state education agencies; education research; and professional development for teachers.
This explicitly says why we should have federal funding for state run public schools.
The responsibility for K-12 education rests with the states under the Constitution and that includes funding
