PA Budget Cuts

From the Windows....

Governor Tom Corbett decided it would be a great idea to cut education budgets. Stupendous. Senator Kim Ward, who spoke at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg last week at a town hall meeting commented on the topic of the proposed budget cuts and stated she supports an intelligent society. Well, then. How can she support budget cuts that will freeze teachers salaries, slash budgets and make it impossible to hire new teachers. Not to mention maintain current staff, however Corbett is totally okay with hiking up tuition prices, which according to President Sharon P. Smith of Pitt-Greensburg does NOT cover the cost of education.


Well, looks like it won't be covering much of anything now.


Read on budget cuts.


SPIN

I'd like to make these budget cuts a into a metaphor of the episode "The Lonely". Just as the astronauts had to make sacrifices to make weight requirements to carry belonging in the spaceship, the biggest sacrifice was the most important, his companion, his teacher.

We can't just shoot all the professors and make all the students learn on computers. But...

We are in the Twilight Zone.
