Obama cleary denies not getting the message. He will however try to take credit for ideas and not give credit to the Republicans.
Now the Dems are against earmarks. Why? They don't want the enemy to use a system they abused.

Yeah... since posting this here I have found that he has more visualizations up as well. This is such a simple concept but it sure does open the eyes of the public because these big numbers in the millions & billions & trillions are beyond most peoples ability to perceive in relation to one another.

His youtube account is 10000pennies

It's a scam on the American people to make them think he's making such a big cut...but, that's how these politicans keep winning. They count on, thrive upon and hope beyond hope not too many people will look deep into what's really happening.

I hope this video makes a huge difference.

For most of the Bush years, the federal budget for education was in the 50 billions.
In 2009 they jacked it up by 100 billion to 150 billion plus. Now if we go back to the old pattern, the Teacher's unions will howl about nasty and severe cuts. It takes 2 seconds for people to get comfy with a one time gift being a long term expectation.

This is a phenomena first named as reverse innelasticity of demand by Thorstan Veblin.

There's no need for a federal education entity. The states can handle their own education regulations. They need to save the 50-100-150 billion and shut the federal education oversight down.

Not so. Obama comes from the Annenburg Challenge. If the feds can give moneys, they can tack on education mandates and order the schools what to tell the kids.

The D.C. school system is the worst and the most expensive in America. It is directly funded by Congress and reminds people how the feds need to stay away from education.

Then I repeat. There is no need for the federal education entity.
