Preview: Obama's 2013 Budget

President Obama today will propose spending $8 billion on job training programs at community colleges over the next three years, part of a budget for the 2013 fiscal year that also would increase spending on Education Department programs and some scientific research.
The president will outline the job-training proposal in more detail in a speech at Northern Virginia Community College this morning. But unlike past calls to spend more on community colleges, this plan is aimed squarely at an election-year message of 鈥渏obs, jobs, jobs鈥 rather than the administration鈥檚 goal of increasing the number of Americans with college degrees.
