Better than dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into unjustified wars like the one in Iraq. Investing in the AMERICAN education is a huge step up than wasting it on wars, as far as I'm concerned. We have a crumbling education system that is in bad need of repair. Screw the ditto-heads and the horse they rode in on!

This comment real doesn't deserve a response...however it's going to get one...

According your sorry arse we should've just laid down and died so Obama's arabic/muslim brethern could get their jollies off again by murdering 3,000 more Americans?

Again, going knocking on their sorry Muslim honking doors keeps you safe...if you don't like paying for it, go the heck somewhere else and let them murder behind...just go live in Iraq, Iran, or any of the arabic/muslim states where you'll be totally hated...

But get out of my country because we don't lay down and die for anybody.

Community Colleges do a great service to the community and the students. Governor Pat Brown of California pioneered the expansion of Community Colleges in the state of California and we all have been reaping the benefits of those efforts ever since.

Lol! Correction: Our UNIVERSITIES are the finest in the world. But there has been a recent trend of more non-Americans attending those shining schools than Americans. I see nothing wrong with the Federal government encouraging and helping more AMERICANS attend American Universities. And don't get me started on the abysmal state of American elementary and grade schools. You need to get a clue, my friend.

I don't have a problem with more Americans attending our schools at all either, as long as they can pay for it...they were provided a free education with my tax dollar already and they didn't pick it up and run with it...BUMS don't get any more of my dollars...they need to do what i did...pay for it themselves....it's called WORK for what you get in this life...something liberals don't seem to have EVER FREAKING HEARD OF!

There are NO green energy jobs, PERIOD...San Antonio has a green energy wind turbine producing element NOW, and they can't even find any customers for it because it's too freaking expensive...and the dumb and dumber who voted to allow it in are now having to pick up the tab for NOTHING! It is already a FAILED ENTITY...NOT PRODUCING ONE NEW JOB or freaking green energy!

It can't even support 1% of the city's GRID!

Funding education - a neocon's worst nightmare.

"I GUESS THE NEXT PRESIDENT WILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY IT BACK" - - fortunately, Palin is pretty good at that!

Since the President has already made it very clear that his Administration plans to continue to increase the unemployment rate, where is this $12B going to come from? You can't tax people who are out of work!

"Mr. Obama speaks of expanded education and job training as a way to help workers compete for jobs such as those expected in the clean energy industry, when the economy turns around and begins to create jobs again instead of shedding them."

This is the funniest thing. Spain tried this, did not work. No jobs for clean energy. This is laughable.
