ooh, I forgot about this one. I'd cut every program in this book:

A book that no doubt has things in it like the Pell Grant that is paying for my college education. :stare:

-National "defense".we need out of the war. we'v been spending oodles of money wheeling around Iraq and Afghanistan.

-Subsides to Oil companies. They don't even try to keep their costs down...so why should we be giving them money? especially when they are making large profits.

-Farm subsides to Large farms. I know a lot of struggling cherry farmers here...but not a lot of struggling corporate farms.

-cuts to the bush tax cuts. Sure, it's nice not to tax the rich, but they've had it pretty darn good these past 10 years, so good that, really, and bummer for them: but they are really the only people who can afford right now to pay higher taxes to help pay for the 10 years of excess we gave them.



screw tha' gobberdman pell grant' I'm mad as hell!

How much is your tuition?

$1,821.25 + books and supplies. It would have been $6,000 more had I been living in the dorms.

EDIT: That is per semester BTW.

that's cheap. it's close to 21,000 at western a year

that's the problem with cutting, your always pissing someone off. and that someone will probably vote for the opposition next time

just look at it, the US government is doing too much for free
why are we helping the Libyan rebels? Tell them to hand over concessions or something

also, raise the taxes. American taxes are much lower than Canadian ones

It is but its also just a junior college.

I don't know how I survived those days? I did the short term loan(s), but I paid for school (mostly) outta my hide.:dead:
I ate a lot of waffles\raman back then. I had one loan (stafford?) and I got all of that paid off. My books weren't that bad because they were all (mostly) made in Russia, and those textbooks were cheaper.

Well, good luck anyhow.
