Gotta pay the indoctrinators
Huh
Who will pay for this? Give me answers instead of promising everything to the group you are talking too? Wouldn’t vote for you.
Kamala Harris also favors reparations for the descendants of slaves.
hardball 315 billion and they are gonna get a 1k raise Lml
A plan that will never happen....Dems like the public uneducated
Next she will be offering a humping night for all her voters. She done it before to get where she is today. Experience does count 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just want to remind everybody, this person, KamalaHarris, has done 0% for California! She's the senator for our state - she has done absolutely nothing for us! She has done nothing and she has no accomplishments! NOTHING!
hardball Unbelievable. Well that’s one thing demoncrats are good at. Spending other people’s money.
Will this be a performance base pay raise? Strange isn't it, America spends more $/Child than any other country in the world. Why is it we are not in the top 5 ranking of the world?
I'd like to boost her and I mean her pay. However she may be. And take turns warming her clothes. Or cool them down. Whichever it may be. Well. As long as she's not to bossy. Tried it. But there's still something I like about her and want to fathom.
Take some of that and finish building the wall.
This is good, but our public ed system needs more than just well paid teachers. Schools need updated or rebuilt, we need a better way of teaching to reach all students, all districts should have CTE options, get rid of pay to play sports so all students have access, more
How is everyone today?
Cheap investment to produce young people ready for college and ready to make a contribution to society. Investments in education pay off big to the entire society...something you yahoos at MSNBC miss when you focus on the price tag INSTEAD of the outcome.
hardball Here is someone wants to be President and she hates JEWS
hardball Time to start firing the teachers that don’t produce better students! The good ones are paid well with fantastic benefits!
What philosophy for social science will these teachers be teaching? What economic philosophy will they promote? What history lessons will be taught? These are very important because the answers will have a direct impact on the ability for the free market to absorb the salaries.
If we could stop the rising cost of medical care and insurance provided for teachers, which accounts for much of school budgets, paying teachers a better salary wouldn’t be difficult. Let’s stop treating the symptoms and go straight for the disease.
More ways to tax us. Most teachers get a very good pay.
Actually agree with her on this. As a conservative I feel paying teachers a higher wage to attract better talent to the profession is a great thing. Now none of the money should be for anything else. No unions, no increase in school spending. Only teachers salaries.
She want be “spending”, but “a plan that would invest hundreds of billions of dollars to boost teacher salaries” wordsmatter
The Trump base is perfect example of why this is needed. And the last 50 years of destroying the education system.
Buying votes? who is paying for this or is it just another democratic handout.
Teachers are very important and underappreciated. Parents/Guardians expect teachers/school personnel to raise their kids. This raise/recognition is long over due.
When teachers learn to educate instead of indoctrinate maybe then they can expect a raise.
😂😂😂
Teachers deserve fair wages.
Democrats are masters of 'Unspecified changes', raising taxes AND making America weak.
What about first responders raise? Teachers only work 8 months a year! KamalaHarris
Sounds like bribery
Oh, and also, will you ask her about the plummeting academic standards and achievement by our K-12 'education' system, while we already spend more than any other nation in the world, per-student, on 'education'? Thanks.
Teachers are paid by states, not the federal government.
Where is the federal government authorized under our Constitution to be involved in 'education' in any way, ? Please point me to the article & clause. Thanks.
rextrekr Getting away from Dumb should certainly be one of America's highest priorities...
Raising teacher salaries won't help.
It's actually a smart move to try and buy off the teacher's unions. They have been the most politically active and successful of late. But Bernie actually stands with union workers as he did in UC this past week. He's not pandering or trying to buy support he is a true believer.
I thought all that legal weed money was supposed save you blue states from being in red! Why are only red states in the black fiscally? Morning_Joe realDonaldTrump HuffPost NBCNews
Are you still committed to making prostitution legal KamalaHarris? If I may suggest an idea that would be even more popular... what do ya think about cock fights?
Looking for Votes sad
All lies to get votes
She lies.
Who's paying for it
That's nice, but it doesn't change much structurally.
So the translation is the federal government is taking over local tax structure. Oh boy, I can't wait.
She really is Hillary 2.0. And I am all for teachers and voted for Hillary, before anyone comes me.
Humans do not know themselves the word finish is valid because the problem is not see what is happening in the walker the word evil very easy to arise as if the state of the state was in a finish which the country with various problem still faced
More giveaways.
AWESOME! With this and the Green New Deal, our taxes should be about 70%! Maybe with their stupid healthcare for all plan, they can just go ahead and tax 95%! Use the last 5% for more wasteful investigations! 😂
very necessary decision
Lol ok Kamala.
Harris and Buttigeig would make an amazing ticket
