Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D) joined President Joe Biden (D) at an event at Prince George's Community College in Largo Thursday, where Moore announced he is directing $17.4 million in funding toward adult education. More than half of the money will come from the federal government, and the remaining $7.9 million will be redirected from the Maryland Department of Labor budget. The recipients of the funds will be all 16 Maryland community colleges, two local K-12 school systems (Somerset and Worcester counties), three community-based organizations, one public library system and the state correctional education system. One of the three community-based organizations is Classroom to Community in Montgomery County.
“Together, we will grow an economy that works for everyone, from the bottom up and the middle out,” Gov. Moore said. “President Biden has been very clear about his vision to empower and educate workers to grow the middle class. It’s a vision I stand by because it’s good for Maryland, good for our people, and good for our economy. Together, we are going to work in partnership to follow the president’s lead, build out our workforce, grow the economy, and win this decade.”
Moore recently expressed his concern about the state's moribund economy, and the resulting lack of revenue that will limit his ability to fund initiatives he has proposed. That concern was heightened by the announcement this week that Maryland's Transportation Trust Fund is running out of money.
Biden and Moore were also joined by Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer (D) and Maryland's U.S. Senators Ben Cardin (D) and Chris Van Hollen (D). The president was introduced by Prince George's County Community College student Sadé Davis.

Some good news. Too often we as a society overlook that education can benefit many strands of society; many age groups in advancing their lives. I look forward to see how these investments will be specifically utilized.
Don't believe your lying eyes - bidenomics:

Moore also said "results matter". An avid MSNBC watcher I'm sure and we have to put up with this liar until January 2027
It depends on their definition of "results". Brandon has already declared the economy a success despite real world pressure on the middle class through real inflation and devaluation of the dollar.
Moore is just another limousine liberal perfectly happy to spend other people's money while releasing repeat criminals and illegals throughout Maryland.
@12:38 Biden's economic policies are working, but what's keeping pressure on the middle class is real world profit mongering by corporations. Ever wonder why prices are high while costs to provide those commodities and services are down? No, of course you don't. Doesn't fit with your narrow world view. It's corporate greed, fueled by Republican CEO's.
Could you nome a few of these Republican CEOs? If if there are a few, it looks more to me that that the real robber barons are in Gubmint. Like Pelosi, Feinstein, et. al., these thieves don't even produce a product!
The CBO disagrees with 6:01 as does reality but that never stops true believers.

Take a look around and tell us how everything is better now then under Trump.
Does 601 understand how the world works outside of a socialist construct? Unlikely because on the ground in the real world, spending 2-TRILLION printed/borrowed dollars is temporarily stimulative putting inflationary pressure on the economy.
Tell us how the "Inflation Reduction Act" reduced inflation. It did reward the green energy donors to Brandon's campaign but that's not the corporate greed liberals want to talk about.
Moore is deep in the pockets of the teacher's unions, just see his evasive answer about that topic from his appearance on Firing Line. So right there, despite the fact that every black person in Maryland voted for him, he does not have their best interests in heart. The broken school system will never get fixed without school choice, i.e. charter schools and pushing back against the teacher's unions. Sen. Tim Scott (R) rightly pointed this out on his appearance on the same show.
@7:57 Don't believe YOUR lying eyes - here's what WSJ Republicans are concerned about this year:

New Gov is all hat, no cattle. Lots of words.
Term limit ALL elected officials as they only serve to enrich themselves.

"grow an economy that works for everyone, from the bottom up"
The same old tired canard, and non- thinking people (Democrats) lap it up.
How, pray tell, can you grow an economy from the bottom, when the bottom, by definition, is flat broke?
By more taxation of the most productive and given to the least productive.
@6:01 SPOT ON!
This is why you fail...
Doesn't fit the liberal narrative but at least they try to blame the right.
