Speaker Pelosi on Keeping 319000 Teachers, Police Officers, Firefighters, and Nurses on the Job

Nancy Pelosi's House Leadership Office (D) posted a Video on August 10, 2010 | 3:13 pm - Original Item - Comments (View)
On August 10th, the House is debating the Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act (HR 1586), which the Senate passed on August 5th. The bill saves and creates 319000 jobs, including 161000 teacher jobs, closes tax loopholes that encourage corporations to ship American jobs overseas and reduces the deficit. These funds are immediately needed—for example, most public schools in Georgia are opening this week. The sooner this bill becomes law, the sooner school districts can rehire teachers and stop planned layoffs. Failure to pass this bill would force states to lay off more workers, cut more services, and raise taxes more than they would otherwise to balance their budgets. These actions would further slow our economic recovery.
