Mark Glickstein's dead-on impression of NJ Gov. Chris Christie's budget speech. In 2010, NJ's new gov, Chris Christie, cut an unprecedented amount of money from the state's budget. Government workers across the state are up in arms on both sides of this issue. Education seems to be in a state of shock - getting hit the hardest by the cuts. Mark, a High School psychology teacher and actor, realized he looked like Christie and was getting asked to do impressions of him. With the help of his friend James, Mark made it his mission to satirize the bejesus out of this guy. Many statistics in this are true or very close. And many lines or at least subjects are taken out of actual Christie speeches. Much of this is very real, the fat in Mark's over-sized suit jacket is fake. www.brokenlens.com Check out the longer version of this video also on YouTube, probably on this page. Scroll around...
Suzannah B. Troy interviews Dan J. Halloran, III on the budget crisis here in NYC and Albany!! I am so proud of this interview and so upset but the reality of what is going on and the clowns of Albany just can't or will not get their acts together while the people of New York will continue to pay and pay and terrible harsh lay offs and cuts are coming. Are we moving towards an actual depression, are we there already but nobody in Albany seems to know, care and work 24/7 to close this budget. I am exhausted. Non-stop day and a few health concerns...yes my, my mother emailed me to praise me and scold me for chewing gum. I was not going to take that gum out of my mouth! This was a powerful, powerful interview. It meant so much to me to get this up on YouTube, exhausted and rushing to get to a doctor's appointment and I had also just posted Giuseppi Logan's new YouTube.

Using segments of interviews conducted at UCSD in January and February of 2010, this sequence introduces some of the most significant effects of the recent fee increases (32% at UCSD), staff and faculty furloughs, and resource cuts. While interviewees are discussing the short term effects of these changes, their comments suggest long term impacts on higher education, social welfare, economic inequality, worker productivity, and social mobility in the State of California.

REPORTER: Breaking news from Wall Street. Today the chief executives of the six largest Wall Street banks admitted to reaping profits at the expense of higher education institutions from high interest loans, and pledged to end the practice. The move will save schools billions nationally, staving off further layoffs, furloughs, cuts to student services and student fee hikes. Since the financial meltdown that a majority of Americans blame on Wall Street, the Federal Reserve reduced its interest rate for bank borrowing to as low as one half of one percent. Yet the Wall Street firms charged interest rates up to and sometimes exceeding 5 times that when lending to state and local governments and educational institutions, scraping profit off the top for themselves instead of stimulating the economy as they were expected to. This morning, Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit [VICK-rum PAN-ditt] said, quote: These schools were so strapped for cash they would take any deal they could get. It was working out for us because we could charge them 5 times the interest rate weve been getting money from the federal government for. End quote. Perhaps even worse, banks have kept schools and state and local governments in long-term interest rate swap deals with rates consistently 10 times the current Federal Reserve rate, scraping exorbitant profits off the struggling institutions. Brian Moynihan, President and CEO of Bank of America told reporters, quote: We were making a handsome profit keeping ...

Students have carried out rallies at dozens of universities and schools across the United States in protest against cuts to public education funding. Some demonstrations turned violent as students blocked the main gates of a California university and smashed car windows. The fragile state of the economy has forced states in America to make difficult budget decisions, which has meant millions of dollars cut in funding. Raegan Miller, associate director for Education Research at the Center for American Progress, told Al Jazeera the public has felt and will feel the difficult budget choices that have been made. "The students should be upset, they didn't cause the economic mess that we are in," he said. "The revenue situation is so severe which will mean cuts in the classroom, this means especially art, music and physical education which are considered less essential subjects." Al Jazeera's Kristen Saloomey reports from a protest rally in New York.
With the costs of higher education spiraling out of control, the rise of for-profit colleges, and more students enrolled in online classes than ever before, it's clear that a sea change is coming. People have more options for alternative education even as they continue to be priced out of traditional institutions. Anya Kamenetz describes the shifting landscape of higher education in this clip.

Dallemand "Rochester Public Schools" education leadership
In a partisan move, Senate Democrats put political posturing over jobs for employees in the Departments of Corrections, Highway Patrol, and common education today, as well as other vital state services today, in direct opposition to Governor Henry, who negotiated the bipartisan budget agreement which they opposed today. Its a curious decision by the Democrats today, said Senate President Pro Tem Glenn Coffee. They are fighting for restoration of a line item, senior nutrition, which they cut in the 2003 budget crisis. In a budget vote on the Senate floor today, Democrats locked up to deny funding for common education, corrections, the state Emergency Fund which pays cities and towns after ice storms, tornadoes and other natural disasters, the state School for the Deaf, state School for the Blind, Department of Public Safety, Military Department, Agriculture, Conservation and other agencies. I find it curious that these Democrat political leaders will jeopardize the jobs of troopers, prison guards and education in an election year, under the guise of protecting Oklahomas seniors, yet forgot all about those same seniors in a past budget crisis when they had unfettered control of the Oklahoma legislature, Coffee continued. The hypocrisy meter is spinning out of control. They complain about not having a seat at the negotiating table, yet the governor and his budget negotiator, the Democrat State Treasurer, negotiated this bipartisan agreement on their behalf, Coffee added. And ...
