Education Budget FY2005
CHRISTMAS BAY, PILOT (PNN) -- The Mitchell Administration got all of their education budget request approved in a massive spending budget passed through the Senate this afternoon. By a vote of 151-11 with 3 abstaining, the government put into place a 100 trillion Pilotan dollar spending blueprint for the fiscal year 2005. Among massive upgrades to the national healthcare system and Social Security was over 2 trillion dollars in new education money. 500 billion was slated for new school construction, 300 billion for school renovations and improvements and about a trillion dollars worth of compliance costs with the new program of enforcing Pilot's new school attendance laws (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=398281). Other programs, like art, music and school sports also received more funding. All of this comes on the heels of a public outcry for more schools and funding for more educational oppurtunities for students and teachers alike.
Republicans in the Senate were forced to go along with the budget because it also implimented some of their most wanted features of the budget - like a reduction in sex education programs that have proved inefficent around the nation. Democrats called the reductions small losses out of an oversized program and said that the unity over the budget would disallow partisan fighting during the fiscal year and prove valuable in future elections - as the federal budget was one of the key issues that decided the Presidential race of 2004 between the then-Democratic challenger Mitchell and the Republican incumbent Robert Harrows. President David Mitchell is facing a re-election bid at the end of February.
Other facts about the budget were released from Senate accounting offices. Military funding will stay at a moderate level, taking a small cut of some of the older arms programs, Social Security and Medicale Natione would both receive major boosts and the big winner was commerce subsides, which were listed from 10% to 10.3%. Officially, for the fiscal cycle of 2005, Pilot's average tax rate lies at 26%.
