Conservatives Wonder How $140 Billion in New School Spending Will Stimulate Jobs

(CNSNews.com) - The proposed $140 billion in education funds included in the $819-billion stimulus bill that passed in the House last week might do little to stimulate the economy in the short-term and some are doubtful that it will have any significant long-term value either.

Conservatives and tax-limitation groups are raising concerns over whether the federal government should be reaching so deeply into what is typically regarded as an area left to state and local authority.

“This would be the most direct intrusion into fiscal policy making in education ever,” said Pete Sepp, vice president for communications at the National Taxpayers Union. “There really isn’t a precedent.”

Members of the Obama administration defend the education funding as being economic stimulus, saying that it is an “investment” in America’s future generations.

I wish they would do two separate bills. One for REAL stimulus, and one for all the pet projects they want to fund.

What happened to this new transparent government we were promised???
