Vocational education. we have flatfunded vocational technical education year after year. This President again flatfunded it this year. or recommended flat funding. We are passing legislation to allow more immigrants to fill the technology jobs because we do not have an educational system that is training them. and it all starts in vocational education. Most recently. we passed in the House. it did not get action in the Senate yet. a Dollars to the Classroom program that combines 31 programs and puts the money directly back into school districts. That frees up $700 million to $800 million without raising taxes because it does away with Federal bureaucrats. it does away with State bureaucrats. and it puts the money in the classroom where they can hire teachers or where they can improve the classroom.
