It's not the massive support we need or what was recommended. It's a start, indeed, but it was watered down markedly. And the education bill doesn't do what was wanted for trade schools in the least. The desired bill had support for college, local junior college, technical school, trade school. Wish that could have been passed.

Of course, one political party thinks unions are evil, and we need less education, less teachers, and no unions, and are actively trying to destroy the same. So ...

I have not seen the original and heard even less about it.

There's been lots that has been completely blocked in the House, that passed the Senate, over the past three years.

Of course, those 40-plus abortion bills the House passed were all about "jobs, jobs, jobs" ... and thank goodness we're gonna have the House return and have a 30th immediately useless vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act. Yay, House! ARG!

Not going to argue that, I was just curious to see the bill with all of the alternative education funding in place, particularly since those are the people I hire. Or want to hire but generally wind up training in house since there are none available.
I have a Poli-Sci master as my shipping receiving specialist, a philosphy handling tech support, an MBA does a lot of our programming and website work, etc. etc. etc.

I know Veterans Administration recently started a massive retraining program for returning veterans.
