Obama Invests BILLIONS in Community College
Traditionally community colleges are a last resort as a form of higher education, but president Obama is trying to change that. In a speech on Tuesday, Obama has proposed to invest nearly 12 billion dollars in the countrys Community College programs,"$9 billion in grant money to boost academic programs and raise graduation rates, plus another $2.5 billion to upgrade school facilities. It would also fund open-source online courses so that schools don't have to build more classrooms to admit more students.

Twelve billion is a lot of money. I'm not sure if that much is really necessary but I am glad the community colleges are getting some attention. Education is education, it really doesn't matter where you go to get it.
Kudos to those trying to better themselves… Hopefully this will help.
