Let's not lower ourselves to their level. It's a terrible bill and I hope it does not pass either the house or senate ever.

We'll see if the 2011 budget contains any earmarks, the 2010 budget was already in play when he took office.
And thanks to Obama I'm going to see a $2500 tax credit for my step-son's college tuition this year and next.
Gotta love it when the POTUS listens to the people and gives them back their hard earned money to invest as they see fit.

How does giving you a $2500 tax credit for your step-son's tuition make happy the vast majority of those who don't have a child in college, or who payed for tuition previously? Selective redistribution of tax money for a few at the expense of others, like cash for clunkers, college tuition credits, free college . . .just pisses off those who have to pay for the goodies. How about giving back EVERYBODY'S hard earned money. Better yet, how about not taking so much of it away in the first place.

Nice, so education is = a shiny new car?
That's a stretch. Personally I'm all for Government assistance to help with education.

Actually, making "education" another one of those many select goodies to help a small slice of the population at the expense of the rest does make it, in that sense, equal to a shiny new car. Tuition help for you (at the expense of the rest), a shiny new car for him (at the expense of the rest), an abortion for her (at the expense of the rest), etc., etc., etc. . . . . And the votes come rolling in from those who want their drip from the public tit.
Whenever the Government "assists" anything, it magically becomes more expensive, therefore becoming more in need of assistance, hence, again, becoming even more expensive, and, thereby, becoming even more in need of assistance, and so on. Not to mention how the Government, then, gradually becomes the director and controller. The Government "investment" in education in the past half century has spawned a very expensive education industry that spits out less educated, more needy and helpless tit suckers, so that the Government has needed to "assist" the abortion industry to keep that unsustainable portion of the population to a barely sustainable number of voters who keep the program going.
How's that for "nice."

I don't have a child or step child in college. Do I still get money? Funny that you say he's listening to the people because most people don't want this porky pig health care legislation passed.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

It takes a village.
This money is going right back towards his education, to help build a stronger country.

Be honest, Spence. How much of that money are you taking out to buy yourself a new European carryall?
