More cuts can be expected for the 2009-2010 school year.

Get Your Bailout Money Here

Think your company deserves bailing out? Apply for your portion of the bailout package using this form from the US Treasury. Will you get it? Probably not. Most of the money is going into buying bank stocks, according to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
