Counteracting Policies

I understand the complexity of the political realm, but this has me utterly confused.

Near the end of Press Article 2, Author Debbie Swartz reveals that " Job gains in the private sector were realized in two areas since last year, education and health services, which saw an increase of 200 jobs". Great, job gains are a move forward out of this financial mess our greedy politicians, slick bankers and naive public took us.

Yet in Press Article 3 Mr Joseph Spector reveals New York States Governor David Patterson has to make "Big Cuts" and realizes the citizens of this state need leadership. I would agree, we New Yorkers need leadership. Compitent Leadership. According to the article, Pattersons cuts would include a cut to school funding of less than 4.5%. (shhhh that is the largest cut to any program). The cuts are based on a districts wealth so "wealthy" suburban disctricts (hello Southerntier) "would be hit the hardest".

After New Yok States infinitely wise leader cuts funding to the school discticts,(Press Article 3) I wonder what will happen to the school based jobs which saw a slight increase in employment numbers?(Press Article 2) Hmm?
