Hmm…
I’m not a thoroughly hate filled individual—see previous posts—but there is little that Sir President Barack Star has done that I have been pleased with thus far. Today I can—begrudgingly—say that he has Finally Done Something Right.
It’s curious really…. How politics and money finally meet in a mind bendingly good move.
He signed for the government to issue student loans instead of giving the money to the banks for the banks to lend out to students. I know—it’s not a brilliant solution since now the government has total control over the money but it’s a hell of a lot better than giving it to the banks who successful collapsed on their faces not so long ago.
Millions in bonuses? Millions wasted on bullshit? Ha—get the fuck outta here—now it’ll be millions to the college students who Fukking Need Money. I know. I’ve been poor and broke and starving in a dorm room.
The answer to 9 out of 10 questions? Money. Why does the government have the power? Because they have the Money.
Politicians are bought and paid for everyday. Money changes hand to sway the uncertain voter.
I’m writing and thinking this as I go. Should the government really control the future of our kids? What if stipulations are put on loans as in only a certain number of Pro Golf Management majors can be doled out? What if you don’t know what you want to study? Can you apply for a loan? Will the government require a certain GPA to remain enrolled?
As a whole, I think it’s better than the banks… they did collapse. As shitty as the government might be it hasn’t bankrupted itself just yet… there’s always time I suppose.
For those entering college this year—good luck learning on government dollars.
Is this educational welfare? Wow.
Learn something and save us from the corruption that currently prevails.
Say Truth.
