Obama wants 26 billion more for teachers

When will the bailouts stop? When will businesses, states, countries and organizations be allowed to stand on their own?

An Education Department spokesman acknowledged that the stimulus funds have already saved roughly 300,000 teachers' jobs once, but an additional $23 billion more is needed to preserve education jobs, along with $1 billion in funds to save early childhood education jobs and an additional $2 billion to support public safety.

Education Department spokeswoman Sandra Abrevaya told FoxNews.com that the stimulus money has run nearly dry and the weak economy makes it necessary for additional funding.
