Mandatory tutoring programs are useless. If a child refuses to learn in the classroom, he'll refuse to learn from a tutor.And what good is that going to do them if they can't read?I don't think you quite understand the integration of the internet to education in today's schools. Our school offers twelve distance learning classes that would be impossible to offer without a broadband connection. Many schools don't have that luxury, too bad for those kids?
Dave if a student isn't going to learn to read at school, a tutor isn't going to help either. The internet based courses help the kids who want to excel, and I am in a proponent of pushing the top kids by offering them as much as possible while encouraging the other kids to do better without taking away from the opportunities for the excellers. I do NOT believe in keeping the top down to cater to the middle or lower students. It's a waste of resources.
As part of the New Deal, it was an unconstitutional expansion of the government's power.Are you comparing electricity to broadband?
Well, yes. But more broadly, I'm comparing infrastructure investment to infrastructure investment.
So is that a yes? Rural electrification was okay?
No! That's where the buggy whip makers union employees were moved to!We still have a Rural Electrification Agency!

Can we please shut this fucking thing down already?!!!
All public schools have tutoring programs, and what's more the teachers encourage the kids to get tutored.I just mentioned a far more beneficial recipient: Tutoring programs. Definitely would do society a lot more good than broadband.Yeah, I knew someone would bring that up. There is a difference between volunteer tutors and poor houses, though.
Dave, what would you rather see the money spent on?
Teacher's unions wouldn't allow it, though.

So I think making broadband internet ubiquitous in the USA is a damned good investment.

Is it is a necessity? When we have $13 trillion in debt, spending on anything other than the most vital operations needed to run this nation is reckless and wasteful.
I still have an eight year old TV/VCR combo in my living room. I've wanted to a get a nice HD flat screen for a couple of years now, but that would require me taking on at least a grand in debt or more and I don't find it a responsible thing to do when I have a mortgage payment, a car payment, college loan payments, a child to feed. It's called being responsible.
Not only will they whine about that, they will find a way to blame one of their pet scapegoats. If it's not the teachers union's fault it's Hollywood, or big government, or the trial lawyers.All public schools have tutoring programs, and what's more the teachers encourage the kids to get tutored.I just mentioned a far more beneficial recipient: Tutoring programs.

You're quite the retard.
There's no doubt in my mind that if the money was used for more tutoring programs you'd whine about that as well.
So you are saying St Ronnie and Cheney are liars.So I think making broadband internet ubiquitous in the USA is a damned good investment.

Nice idea. Bad timing. On account of that deficit and all.
This isn't "new" spending. The link says it is being paid for with money from the stimulus.

And the largest increase in any single year happened in Obama's first year. And the Obama Administration is itself projecting doubling Bush's second-term increase.So you are saying St Ronnie and Cheney are liars.Is it is a necessity?

Reagan ran up the debt more than any president in history until Bush came along. Bush took 200 years of debt and doubled it in eight.

But that will be blamed on Bush, of course.
