Students Must Lobby Against Cuts In Financial Aid!

http://villagevoice.com/news/0533,kamenetz,66853,6.html

This article reports that the House has voted the deepest cuts in student aid in the past 40 years. Needless to say students are not voting in high numbers nor are they in a position to contribute to political campaigns. But they and their families must lobby for support if they are not to be increasingly burdened with debt before graduating into whatever jobs are going to be available to them. What our pols fail to recognize is that a well educated population is more than simply a benefit to the individual student. The financial health of our society as a whole in an increasingly competitive world depends on it! This is why our competitor nations provide higher educations to all of their citizens qualified to undertake it! Good luck!
