Please do not forget that every spending bill that you vote yes on is money that could have been spent on your education. There is only one well that the state, county, city or federal government draws it's money from. You! Every spending program you pay for. Every bailout comes out of your pocket. The latest program you heard of was the government money that you could get for you clunker to buy a new car, well that came out of your pocket. Now tell me how to do feel about helping someone else get a new car at the expense of your education. Call it corporate wellfare, labor union bailout, pork barrel spending, healthcare for all. Its all the same thing! Your money going into someone else's pocket with nothing in return for you. Well you have part of the problem defined here correctly.
