Stay focues. regardless of whose responsibility it was, the money saved those jobs, and when that money was gone, so were some of the jobs. It has nothing to do with buying anything but the facts.
That is your opinion, it is mine that the Federal Taxpayer had no business saving state education jobs and it is further my opinion that the states would have come up with the money. It is all about whose responsibility is it, Federal or State. Further it is about about the definition of what is a stimulus. If Obama had stated he was going to bail out the states instead of creating a stimulus for shovel ready jobs then you would have a successful argument but that wasn't the purpose of the stimulus. The fact is Obama lied to the American people to get his bailout package packed and sold it on creation of jobs buy funding "shovel ready" infrastructure jobs. Teachers are not shovel ready projects, nor is the bailout of union pensions or other state programs.
