10,000 jobs for 680 million, that's only $680,000 a job, what a deal! And since 6100 are teachers and other public workers, we get to be burden with future taxes to keep the jobs in place for them. Also, what is lacking in this article, which should have been the real journalistic question to ask, how many were "created" and how many were "saved". For 680k a job, there had better been a heck of a lot CREATED, not merely "saved".

Private schools are not as picky as claimed, the private schools I know of would take students that could pay tuition. In fact a lot of times "problem kids" get put in private schools specifically. I do agree parental involvement is critical. How would you explain the great success of the voucher system? The voucher system spends less money per student then the public system, and has better results.

Private Schools have very good results when compared to public, and they don't have a union, and cost less per child then public education. I am just interested to see how the negotiations play out now that there is no salary cap on teachers, since Doyle signed the state budget into law.

Darwin1: Facts have nothing to do with your argument with health care, we can't afford it, FACT. medicare and medacaid are already 23 trillion in the hole. Adding the remaining population to this list is going to make it affordable? Keep in Mind also that the fact is there will be millions out of jobs that work in the insurance industries, middle class people, no the fat cats you want to take the money away from. You do realize that Obama is wealthy, and so is most of the congress and senate, so why would they care about the little guy, all they care about is power. Creating a government entitlement that effects every person gives them power over every person. I can see the political adds now "Don't vote for X he wants to take away your right to get a surgery you need". Yup it's all about power to them, if you think they care about us, you are greatly deceived, and I am talking about both D's and R's.

Darwin1: I know that the supreme court has interpreted this differently then what I have stated, you know in the past the supreme court has been over turned, right? Currently Montana is putting this ruling to the test with a new law they signed into law in the state limiting the Federal government to control commerce in the state. Also I am aware of the decision that started this precedent, it has to do with a person who was raising wheat, and the regulations there on. This decision has been piled on now to accept any regulations handed down to the states from the government. Also please stop with the condescending attitude, "where are you from". I am from the US, the land of the free and the home of the brave, or at least that's what it used to be, not so sure now.

Darwin1: Commerce Deffinition: "the exchange or buying and selling of commodities on a large scale involving transportation from place to place" Ok so using your logic we can control the transport between the states and indian tribes of health care, but have no jurisdiction to any health care performed solely within the state itself

Darwin1: I am refering to Article 1, Section 8 of the constitution on the limitations of power, explain where health care fits in under those limits of power, please.

Bella, Health care was only maybe half of that equation, literacy, and statistics on buying power were there too, which again have nothing to do with health care. We are VERY poor in the US in literacy as compared to other nations so that could very possibly skew the numbers to a large degree, along with a week dollar.

Bella "Sure, stats are fun:
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_hu... That is economic, which yes the US has not been doing very well on, I can agree. I was looking for health care related information, let's keep this on topic. Thanks :)
