i wonder if you could cut something from the military budget in order to feed your poor and educate your children at the same time
They are working on cutting some military budgets, too. Everything is getting cut.

Congressman Obey was complaining that the administration's first suggestion to fund the State Aid bill was to cut the food stamp program. Teachers unions vote more often and have more money to contribute than the poor.

What I'm really curious about is whether or not the teachers got help from the Fed with or without concessions. If there was concessions and the Fed still needed to kick in... not ideal, but okay... if there were no concessions, that's not okay at all.
