Bush touts public funds for private, inner-city schools

As I was looking for an article this week I found one in the yahoo news. It talked about President Bush wanting to spend the money, that is used by the district programs, should be spend on inner-city schools. That money that is spend by the district program is wasted on public funds like on private, religious schools. Bush said that inner-city schools are closing “at an alarming rate.” Bush said that the government has given enough money for colleges and universities. They should give the money to the schools that really need the money. Bush also asked that “why don’t we use the same philosophy to provide federal funds to help inner-city families find greater choices in educating their children?” I agree with him because the families need the money so they could send their kids to school. A law that was created helped many students by given them money. I think that more money should be use in schools that need it so they could fix the schools, and build new ones. Many students don’t get to go to school because they are to crowed. The money should also help the families that needed, so they could send their kids to school.

Political Cartoon

The political cartoon that I'm dong is about the campaign and elections. There is an alley and two people are fighting. A couple passes by and they see the fight. They ask themselves if they should call the police and they said no because its only Obama and Hilary discussion politics. McCain already won, Hillary and Obama are still debating. They have been fighting through out the their campaign. When they are debating they never agree on anything. They different ideas and each of them want to win they want to be president. Their ideas on politics are very different so that’s why they are arguing; they want their voice to be heard. I believe that they both have good ideas for the country and be should consider them when we go to vote. I want Obama to win because I think that he will make a change and will bring many good ideas to the country. When there is a debate between Obama and Hilary people automatically think that they will have an argument. Since there hasn’t been a black and a women run for president Hilary and Obama want to win. They should keep on trying and the best will win.

Bush sends Congress Colombia trade pact

I found an article in the yahoo news that talked about congress receiving a U.S.-Colombia free trade agreement from President Bush. They must vote “ within 90 legislative days.” Bush wants to continue the free trade agreement with Columbia. People oppose to this agreement because they think that they need to make new free trade deals. Many democrats think that they have not “ done enough to halt violence, protect labor activist and demobilize paramilitary organizations. The president disagreed, saying that Colombia has addressed the issues.” They insist that this deal will be good for the United States economically. This will take away some of the problems they have when they trade with other countries. Many think that this is a good idea because it will be beneficial to the economic problems of the United States. Clinton said that she would not sign any agreements with Colombia. Bush said that if we don’t have this agreement the Venezuela President Hugo Chavez would have a chance to “cast the United States as untrustworthy and impotent across South America.” Some will sign but after perpetrators are brought to justice. They should discuss on this issue before it is time to decide what they are going to do.

Public campaign money question closer to ballot

I found an article in the yahoo news that talked about public money. Public money is money that comes from taxpayers. This money is used when use by the government so they could give it to the candidates. They are deciding whether “public money should continue to be used in campaigns for governor and Cabinet officers.” If the don’t pass this constitutional amendment another bill will be passed. This bill will automatically limit public financing to “$5 million in races for governor and $2 million in Cabinet races.” Many people are against using taxpayer’s money for their campaigns. There was an amendment that was passed 10 years ago that repeals to this new one. They should be using the taxpayer’s money for something else instead of their campaigns. The money could help people that need the money, or they could build more schools. There is another identical bill “working its way through committees.” People against this say that if they do this the people are not going to give away money only the rich people will donate money for their own interest. The senators need the money so they ill take the money form the rich people.
