Brilliant!
Now here´s a fantastic small-business stimulus package… with long term payoffs well beyond just keeping small factories humming. From Tim’s El Salvador Blog:
On August 24, Vice-President and Minister of Education Salvador Sanchez Cerén officially opened the bidding process for some 7 million yards of fabric for the production of school uniforms, as the first step towards implementation of President Mauricio Funes’ plan to distribute two school uniforms, one pair of shoes, and a set of school supplies to every public school student in the country. The program will not only benefit 1,360,000 students, but will also create jobs for small- and medium-sized Salvadoran businesses. Fabric will be purchased from Salvadoran businesses and production will be carried out at a local level, with each municipality contracting local businesses and collectives to make the uniforms for their students.

brilliant idea – somebody please call Sr. Calderon, my neighbor’s kids can’t afford school uniforms this year because Daddy stopped sending the dinero home from the US of A.
Socialism, good for capitalism? Say it ain’t so!
