Fuck You, Fuck You and Fuck You

Sorry for the profanity, but here is another article saying that the government won't forgive student debts because we are "too small to help." You know why I am too small to help? Because I am locked into student debt. You don't think I could do more useful things if I wasn't strapped into that yoke? I could go on and on, but don't you think it would be a large stimulus to the economy to suddenly have people who actually spend money free to spend money? People who's only wrong was trying to get an education while the prices of that education were skyrocketing? Errr. I am having a bad week.

100% Student debt is a national shame. i watch my students suffering through trying to get into public universities because they have financial need and it pisses me off. Its a way to keep low income people in the yoke.

I was fortunate enough to have my parents divorce and my mother lock my father into paying for four years of an education for the fouth-forgotten child, me, through the divorce decree but my roommate and many other students I know are not so lucky. I cannot believe that here I am building a stock-pile of hiking equipment to hike the entire Appalachian Trail by myself to raise money for a new Summer camp aimed to help sexually abused children rebuild their lives but if it wasn't for my mother divorcing my dad and putting him in debt instead of me, I would be stuck saying "fuck you too." I have $10 in my wallet along with a few bats that fly out whenever it is opened and nothing frustrates me more than realizing the government doesn't seem to want to help me or my nursing-major roommate? We'll see what she does when a politician comes knocking on her door asking for stitches.

attempting to silence the voices in my head.
