Attaching a school funding bill to a war funding bill.
The $23 billion federal school funding bill is running into big trouble, even after a massive call-in campaign organized by the NEA yesterday.
The $23 billion was originally attached to a Senate appropriations bill to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
How do I feel about linking my pay to war funding. No need to ask.
But the Senate wouldn’t even do that. They dumped the schools and kept the wars.
No surprise there.
The House will probably try and attach the education funding in their version of the war appropriations bill.
