Oh yes... where our government spends 3 trillion dollars a year, has a shortage of teachers, and a straight A student who wants to be a teacher can't get a loan because his credit rating is no good, and he doesnt qualify for grants because his parents make too much money. Which is interesting because I'm almost 25, and the only "parent" who earns any money is my stepdad who is a software engineer who is still in debt to the IRS because he lost his job on 9/11 and he's got his own family to support.


But of course, we have money in the state and federal budgets for such worthy projects as sex change operations for felons, and of course grasshopper research in Alaska. Totally worth it.
