Good News not to be Missed
Education bill makes it easier for students to get adequate loans and repay loans beginning 2014.
I thought it a noteworthy piece to post in case some folks have missed it. http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/20...cmp=clp-edweek |

Thanks Jess. Yes, I was aware of this rider addressing Student Loans. I was not aware of some of the particulars. I did suspect it included taking away some of the monies from the private lenders, banks and giving more options to the students. I support it.

Thanks Jess, for starting this thread. I think it is easier for people to focus on the negative stuff, and it is nice to be reminded that news isn't always about the ugly stuff.

While this is supercool. . .
The same government is slashing federal funding to public universities and colleges nationwide. Students would not have so much debt or need such huge loans if education as an institution received more funding. Resources: http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org...ersity_funding http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2008/02/26/kentucky http://www.statenews.com/index.php/a..._state_funding http://www.dailyillini.com/news/illi...-state-funding For more information about your specific state just google "State Funding Universities ___Your State Here___"

Jess, thanks for posting pertinent information on a regular basis. IMO, it's pertinent because the focus is on Virginia a state that is outside of the "Blue State" bubble most of the time. I need and want to know how it is outside of my own urban west/left coast reality.
The article about Cuncinelli running as the Republican candidate for the State Attorney General and referring to himself as a Libertarian is on point. You may have read some of my grumbling in various post about the hypocrisy in our daily dose of spin. This is a prime example. The candidate espouses Libertarian values but in fact this is yet another untruth. What I think he really means is I am all about separation of church and state, minimal government in the life of people, UNTIL I think MY WAY, MY BELIEFS should be forced upon the lives of others. I do have a belief in the existence of a God but I am becoming less willing to discuss it because of the zealots, extremists that have hijacked the meaning of what it is to be "Christian." Finally, thanks for the Good News. I am encouraged to read that there are members of the House that are serious about getting ENDA voted upon and passed.
