Yjese are the ones I'm having a huge problem with. How are these going to create jobs? Are we magically going to hire 50,000 more teachers and even if we do, will it actually help turn the economy around? What about Medicaid? Is this due to the states failing to get their budgets under control, so we have to bail them out also? When did "living within your means" not become the mainstay?

• $ 87 billion Medicaid aid to states
• $ 79 billion school districts/public colleges to prevent cutbacks
• $ 41 billion for additional school funding ($14 billion for school modernizations and repairs, $13 billion for Title I, $13 billion for IDEA special education funding, $1 billion for education technology)
• $ 24 billion for "health information technology to prevent medical mistakes, provide better care to patients and introduce cost-saving efficiencies" and "to provide for preventative care and to evaluate the most effective healthcare treatments."
