Our friendly congress the other day apparently went to far according to our governors on a new higher-education bill that tells states how much money they must spend on their public colleges. Kind of sounds alright to me. Next year would it be great if the schools were nicer and there was money in our pockets? But, for all those out there the money has to come from somewhere now doesn't it? According to the NGA letter, "the new mandate 'would have a chilling, negative impact on future state higher-education investments.'"
Should our opinion count even if we are 17, I mean the ordeal effects us quite a bit. What do you think?
P.S. I came across this and I wanted to know if people thought things like this were funny, or are the absurd and should not be allowed?
