[Xog]

yes, sir!

These cuts are very damaging — [the House bill] was put together very carefully. ... The funding goes directly to school districts, they are stimulative because they maintain jobs instead of cutting jobs."


Let's start off with the basics:

" These cuts are very damaging — " we have this to start us off, describing how the cuts are damaging. translation: House bill = BAD

then, we go into:

" The funding goes directly to school districts, they are stimulative because they maintain jobs instead of cutting jobs. " Well, i'll be dipped in shit and rolled in breadcrumbs, how is it bad if the funding maintains jobs instead of cutting jobs?
