So, this isnt really about arguing with myself about to do something or not, its about what would I say if I did do that something. Which is make a speech and read that shit in front of how many people at a State Forum meeting. I feel it must be done, so I'll work toward that, failure or not...
here it goes....
......gotta continue later, bbl, thats the letters I think they use these days...
ok, so its later....and I have not reached a decision to do or not...however, I don't have the entirety of what I was to say, as I was much more motivated and compelled before....
but I'll try to put down something:
I'm not usually one to do these sort of things, however, with this issue I feel I must. As must any who has been this burdened, because even standing in our own ashes, we still must fight. So, here I lie, burdened by Student Debt because of following the path I believed the American society, and the government, had chosen for me. And as is also tradition, I headed to the State School, the only school I had wanted to go to since I was 12 yrs old and visited there for a trip to the Annual State Championships. What a momentous event, but not the most, with an acception letter, I never saw my about average grades and not to above average SAT's granting me. But it happened, and so I went, well with a minor bump in the road, I decided to SAVE MONEY and go to the closer local branch campus. Instead of the MAIN campus. I can continue on through time spent worrying about the debt I was to have, even going as far as a broken hand, which I probably should not mention. I am just here to show my story and the story of what Sarah Palin and John McCain may call 'Joe Six-pack' or 'Joe the Plumber', with an accounting twist on the last one. But as I feel that this issue should be a fore frontal policy discussed by the candidates of our current election, it without doubt, and bias of Republican or Democrat, should be discussed with our economic policy. With what some call the worst economic times since the Depression, our country's stance on education should be the main topic. We are the crop and farmer of this country that will keep it growing. Sure, there will always be old, rich people running us, but to ensure that this 'great', capitalistic country does not fall in its own policies, and die with them, we must educate. Providing life-binding loans to undereducated students is robbery and policy should be enacted to inform the youth of America of the upsides and downs to using financial institutions and acquiring binding debts. Also, the other major downfall of this country, that it is right to finance your life away. Debt is what the American Government is binded by, so how is it a surprise that the American people are believed to think and act in that manner. And while, wildly spending debt irresponsibly should not be condoned, investing in your or your child's education with this backing should be regulated and not as easily given. Maybe counselors, mandatory counselors, could be a major issue, if you were to have to incur over $50k of college debt. I just know that, in my case, as I was informed of the burdens of the debt I took, I never saw the astronomical MINIMAL monthly fee I would be required to rack in each month.
