  • A Reasoning of College Tuition and Interest Reduction
    I am a student, just finished with a standard, science-entrenched high school career, looking towards college. My current loan interest rate is 6.8%, and expected to go much further. I am scared that one day, we will not be able to continue college educations for the masses, and the dream of the fities, to be top-dog in technology, will be gone.

  • Florida Governor Scott. Leave Florida's College Educational System Alone
    The governor appoints people to the Borard of Governors for Florida's state universities who are hostile to the colleges. They are trying to irrationally cut university income rather than consider value and needs of the educational system. I believe that It is the president and the faculty who know what is best for the univesity. Someimes more money not less is needed. Skimping can destroy faculty and thus the value of the education itself. Right now I believe that the cost of Florida colleges compared to others in the are country are very inexpensive and good value..

  • Exxon-Mobil supports education
    Urge Exxon-Mobil to lead the industry to forgo their tax subsidies so that they will go directly to our nation's lagging education. Their recent ads claim to support this. Prove it!

  • Interest Free Loans
    Education has become so expensive that many people are overwhelmed with interest payments alone, not to mention the principle. Students need a bailout - interest free loans. WIPE OUT THE INTERESTS ON ALL STUDENT LOANS

  • Student Loan Bankruptcy
    Allowing bankruptcy on private student loans again would be a huge boost to the economy. Most of todays students are over their heads in student loan debt. The fact the cost of college has continued to raise at an all time high, while the amount businesses are paying you to work is lower than that of the of the 80's based on growth, is actually turning kids away from college.

  • Go Metric, America!
    The whole world uses the metric system of measurement, except for the US, Burma, and Liberia. The time has come for the America to go metric, too. It would save time and money if we taught only the metric system in our schools. It would also eliminate confusion for our children, in having to learn 2 systems of measurement, when just the metric system would suffice.

  • Restore Bankruptcy Protections To Private Student Loans
    In 2005, Congress removed bankruptcy protections from private student loans, making private student debt one of two types of debt not dischargeable in bankruptcy. This decision was made after intense and well-funded lobbying by corrupt corporations who had no qualms about creating a permanently debt-enslaved working class with no legal rights or recourse. Education shouldn't lead to penury, and the corporations which are happy to profit off of the misery of millions of Americans shouldn't have the right to do so because their money buys them the Congressional access to make it happen.

  • VA State Colleges
    There are too many out of state students admitted to VA colleges forcing the taxpayers here to subsidize other states red ink. VA colleges should be for Virginians with no more than 5% admitted from other states. Once that happens the taxpayers in VA will be more willing to better fund state institutions
