i find it amusing a president that cuts pell grants for college, head start, and work training programs had the nerve to stress ownership in his speech. education is the key to learning how to run a business mr.president, not everybody was born to a rich oil tycoon. you just dont say hey i want to start and own a business. maybe bush did and that is why he failed as a businessman.

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't boo him all the way back to washington. But, then again, that's probably why it took him five and a half years to get around to talking to the NAACP in the first place.

Actually, Pell grants have gone up.
Head Start programs did not live up to their promise. Studies showed that all the gains were lost within 3 years of them going to public schools. Which means that it was nothing but a glorified day-care program.
Ownership is more that a business, and if you weren't parroting someone else's points, you would know that he meant home ownership and intergenerational wealth transfer within the family, and that would also include the revising of Social Security into private accounts. You see, black men are screwed by socsec because they die younger. This means they collect less of what they paid in. This screws their families, because of all that money taken from their pocket and paycheck is now forfeited.
But that's probably too nuanced a point for people of your mindset.

First off, education is key but it's not up to the government to provide a colelge education. Secondly, the HEad Start program is a monumental failure of epic proportions.
The impact of participation in Head Start is investigated using a national sample of children. Comparisons are drawn between siblings to control for selection. Head Start is associated with large and significant gains in test scores among both whites and African-Americans. However, among African-Americans, these gains are quickly lost. Head Start significantly reduces the probability that a white child will repeat a grade, but it has no effect on grade repetition among African-American children. Both whites and African-Americans who attend Head Start, or other preschools, gain greater access to preventive health services. (JEL I38, H43)
Essentially, Head Start has no sustainable results, most being lost the the 4th grade.
Education is not key to running a business. Gates never finished college. Hell, 108 members of The Forbes 400 Wealthiest Americans never graduated from college. Their average net worth: $4.3 billion each! Education is not key to running a business.
The ability to take that first step on your own is.
Obviously this is not something you understand.

What I find amusing is when people call slowing the growth of a program "cutting" funding. The government departments with their hands out, routinely ask for the moon knowing full-well they can do with less. And when they are partisans, they can still turn around and say the President cut our programs.
Since you are buying it, apparently, that old trick still works with some people.

learn historic past, this comparable tactic grew to become into used via a Democratic occasion controlled congress. via slicing investment it created the circumstances for defeat in Viet Nam, as logistic problems gave North Viet Nam the victory and it led to a twenty 3 hundred and sixty 5 days mono ply of congress via the Democrats. they look fascinated in little exterior of desiring administration or skill. Islam has an prolonged bloody historic past and it would be seen a conflict that would desire to be gained. it fairly is already in line with genocidal ideology. This conflict is win or die on a genocidal point of engagement. study the historic past of Armenia or study information based on the situation in Dar fur. The president is the commander and chief of the protection stress and that's congress activity to fund, not administration. it fairly is Constitutional, congress attempting to regulate the protection stress and conflict isn't constitutional.
