The education bills are good. Not sure why they are federal programs though. I thought States AND school districts took care of that. Oh well, whats $100Million dollars…?
The energy fund is good too…until you realize that Gas and Oil companies & Utility companies should be investing in this. Oh well, who cares, it’s only $200Million…

Remember, these could be any Senator’s stats… Please be respectable.

Those are Obama’s stats.
