February 17, 200917 yr I would build more schools. I would put a cap on school size around 800 per building.( I would hope this would destroy the idea of districts. I would also make all sports apart of community leagues not used by the schools.(sorry if people can not afford, tough) I would also cap teacher pay at 45,000 for Bachelors, 65,000 for masters paid by the tax payers, 75,000 for Rank I and 85,000 for PHD, 95,000 National Certified. and PHD. (Guess which one I have:D) Think about this, more school's equal construction equal construction jobs. Schools mean teachers, janitors, principals, and other jobs(sp). Smaller schools equal more one on one education, which in turn means a better product. More educated people educating, what a novel idea. No sports so funding could be used elsewhere, say in the classroom... interesting! All paid for by the U.S citizens. Which in turn goes back out into the communities, which in turn goes back to the citizens. Smaller schools don't necessarily mean more one on one education. Just expand the current schools and increase the number of teachers. I can think of a few schools that are very large with extremely low student-teacher ratios.

I can think of a few schools that are very large with extremely low student-teacher ratios. Yes, some large districts have low student to teacher ratios but the question on the floor is how would you stimulate the economy. If you build more schools, that means more people to clean, more teachers, more cooks, more bus drivers, more administration, in other words more jobs. (which I would think would benefit the nation in the long run). The construction on the schools would allow for more jobs, granted for a short time but none the less more jobs... plummers, electritions, etc. As for the bolded part, I would think it would be a mathematical equation, I did not intend to take a jab at large school districts at all:thumb:
February 20, 200917 yr I don't know how the numbers would work out, but it seem like the first bail out was over 7 billion and this one was over 7 billion. What would happen if they would have took that money and gave it to every working tax payin American. Thay could get out of foreclosure by payin the loan, the banks would have money. People could buy a new car that would help out I think. They would put all that money into our economy.
February 20, 200917 yr I would like to see them put it to a vote by the people. Most every one has inter net or cell phone, text message.
February 20, 200917 yr If this stimulus needed to be voted on by Friday b/c of how dire the economy was and a member of Congress had to be flown in to vote even though his mother had recently died, why did it take so long to get signed by O? :thumb:

Maybe they could have voted on it today so that everyone could have had a chance to actually read it. I think I got it that time. :thumb:
