Why are we going to pay for new buses when our taxes are going up, our country is facing a sequester, and our home bound seniors may loose a meal a day??

Are the busses they are replacing going to be treated as staff, where they get "retired" or put on a list, so we can later bring them back after the "Parkland makes Vehicle Cuts" headlines. So we the taxpayer are REPLACING 10 school busses? Is there anything of value to older busses? Are busses WE are getting rid of any value, or are we simply dumping them? Sorry for the questions, but this isn't a $20 purchase, yet our budgetary people are presently looking at 3-5% shortfalls, which will ultimately fall on OUR tax bill!!!!
