So The Last Two Promises Didn’t Work?
Despite Promises That Their State Bailout Would "Save The Jobs Of Thousands Of Teachers," The President Admits "We're Laying Off Teachers In Droves"
2011 RESULTS: President Obama Says "We're Laying Off Teachers In Droves"
... $26 billion plan to save the jobs of thousands of teachers and other government workers.
ROBERT GIBBS: "... a very important proposal, particularly to ensure that 160,000-plus teachers didn't get fired as a result of bad state budgets." (White House Press Briefing, 8/11/10)
SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): "We saved people's jobs. The bill we just passed keeps hundreds of thousands of teachers, firefighters, (inaudible) and other civil employees from being fired or laid off. But these aren't just numbers." (Senate Democrats, Press Conference, 8/4/10)
SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY): "There is no doubt about it, if we fail to pass this bill, hundreds of thousands of teachers and firefighters will lose their jobs." (Sen. Schumer, Congressional Record, S.6683, 8/4/10)
SEN. DICK DURBIN (D-IL): "The measure we are considering today… will save more than 100,000 jobs in schools across America." (Sen. Durbin, Congressional Record, S.6678, 8/4/10)
SEN. SHERROD BROWN (D-OH): "Under this legislation, nearly 140,000 teaching jobs-including close to 5,000 in Ohio-would be saved." (Sen. Brown, Press Release, 8/2/10)
SEN. PATTY MURRAY (D-WA): "My amendment provides $10 billion to school districts throughout the country to save the over 130,000 teacher jobs that are at risk, and it does so without adding to the deficit, and with a prohibition on the use of this funding for general expenses." (Sen. Murray, Congressional Record, S.6679, 8/4/10)
SEN. BARBARA BOXER (D-CA): "... this legislation will save more than 13,000 teacher jobs in California as well as public safety jobs of our police officers and firefighters." (Sen. Boxer, Press Release, 8/4/10)
"... the police, the firefighters, those jobs will be saved. Nationwide today with this passage of this bill, we saved 250,000 jobs. Think about what that means." (Senate Democrats, Press Conference, 8/4/10)
SEN. MICHAEL BENNET (D-CO): "The education/jobs funding in this bill that's so critical will save between 2,000 and 3,000 teacher jobs in my state alone. And as a former school superintendent, I can tell you that all over the country right now there are people breathing a very, very big sigh of relief because all they want to do, whether they're teachers or principals or superintendents, is serve our kids in the worst recession since the Great Depression." (Senate Democrats, Press Conference, 8/4/10)
2009 PROMISE: Stimulus Will Prevent "Laying Off Firefighters, And Teachers, And Police."
PRESIDENT OBAMA: "It's a plan that will save or create up to four million jobs over the next two years … And the jobs of firefighters, teachers, nurses, and police officers that would otherwise be eliminated if we don't provide states with some relief."(President Obama, Town Hall Remarks, Fort Myers, FL, 2/10/09)
OBAMA: "We've created and saved, as you said, Joe, at least 150,000 Jobs - jobs of teachers and nurses and firefighters and police officers. People who had been laid off are not being laid off...." (President Obama, Remarks, Washington, D.C., 6/8/09)
SEN. BOB CASEY (D-PA): "He said $18.6 million was awarded to the county school districts through the Recovery Act and funded special education, educational technology and basic education needs. Casey said the grants, which will end this year, have also prevented the elimination of teaching positions and have helped stabilize education budgets throughout Pennsylvania."("Casey Visits Carbon Schools To See Stimulus' Effects," Standard Speaker [PA], 2/23/10) [Source: Senate Republican Communications Center] Tags:Obama administration, broken promises, no jobs, lost jobs, democrats, quotesTo share or post to your site, click on "Post Link".
