Post from Steve Vick for Idaho Senate at CHUM.LY

According to this article we are spending $100,000 per teacher to save their jobs. We are bankrupting our children to help our children? Does that make sense? We need to say no to all of these "stimulus" programs and balance the federal budget. Idaho needs to show leadership in this area and not accept these funds, instead of making excuses as to why we are taking them.

From the Heritage Foundation

Lawmakers Return to Washington to Spend More Money

They're back. Today, Representatives scurried back to Washington from their summer recesses to do what they do best: spend.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) ordered the rare one-day emergency session to vote on a $26.1 billion bill to bail out state governments. The legislation passed the Senate last Thursday, after the House already broke for recess. Pelosi and her allies claim that the high-priced bill will "save teachers' jobs and help seniors & children," but The Heritage Foundation's Steven Keen argues that the bill is nothing more than "a massive federal bailout for influential teachers unions and irresponsible state governments.

It's no surprise that the leftist leadership in the House is rushing to bring the bill to a vote. Many of the jobs the bill "saves" are represented by the teachers' unions or the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. And with the November elections just around the corner, the left can't afford to overlook these major special interest groups.

But far more important than political trade offs is the dire economic situation our nation is in. With the federal deficit set to reach $1.5 trillion by the end of the year, we simply cannot afford more spending. Progressives insist the legislation would all be "paid for," but a large portion of the funding will derive from $11 billion in tax hikes on U.S. companies that compete internationally. And the difference will be met with a host of other tax hikes and imaginary savings.

"From his trillion dollar economic stimulus to his $3 trillion tax hike," writes Heritage's Conn Carroll, "it has become clear that President Barack Obama views the private sector the same way the Huns viewed a city – as something to be sacked and plundered for the benefit of public sector workers."

We had a great time at the parade yesterday. A beatiful day in northern Idaha plus good show of Republicans, with no democrats to be found anywhere!
