And You Thought That The Teacher Bailout Bill Just Hired Teachers

This latest stimulus bill that was passed with the help of Dina Titus, Harry Reid and Shelly Berkley was advertised as a teacher hiring bill. But did you know that the money can also be used for the following:
Support services to include salaries
Performance bonuses
Health insurance
Retirement benefits
Incentives for early retirement
Pension fund contributions
Tuition reimbursement
Student loan repayment assistance
Reimbursement for childcare expenses
Restoration of salary/benefit reductions
Salary increases
Elimination of furlough days
Transportation subsidies
(From a memo of an administrator of CCSD, which anyone can see)
And Harry Reid is bragging about this. This is not hiring teachers, this bill was for paying teacher's and administrator's raises, pay performance bonuses, payment of tutition expenses and more. This is not only an administration wish list, it is also the CCEA, (the teacher union) wish list.
And you people who thought this bill was all about hiring teachers. I have one word for you: SUCKERS!!!
