Ironically, others are howling that the stimulus package includes money for education & technology instead of being all bridge construction and road repair.
it depends on what education and tech is being boosted. I don't know all of the bill's targets, but the less trendy the technology or field, the better. They might be up in arms because it's too narrow a focus or not needed. I mean we having a huge nursing shortage, so that should be prioritized over something like electric cars, which may be come obsolete or not economically feasible despite the stimulus, like the Tesla.
Or engineering in general, or teaching. A danger is that the money for education gets sunk into teachers unions or other gov. employees without seeing real benefit. I mean, the NEA doesn't need additional funding. We do need more affordable voc-tech schools and alternatives to 4 year college.
Still man, we are sunk even with that. If you are 18 I'm sorry, you are gonna see a huge tax increase in later years when the bill comes due for this and social security.
