Student Aid may be cut!!!

---

Well thats great let me listen to a band then. My point is that what may seem little to you may be big to someone else. Just because you're not on medicare, doesnt meant millions of people arent either. But every little bit counts. Anything we can do we should do

I'm saying that you're barking up the wrong tree, if you want to get things fixed. It does little good to worry about a leaky faucet when your house is getting flooded by a tidal wave.Border control is important, but demagogues use issues like that to dumb down complicated problems by selecting scapegoats. Your student loan benefits aren't being cut because people are crossing the Rio Grande. The war seems like it should be an issue, but if you look at the most recent spending bill, there are zillions of dollars going to all kinds of crazy local projects. The Republican senior senator from Alaska just barely lost getting well over $200 billion to build a bridge to a nearly-unpopulated island, and he was steamed when funding for it was removed at the last minute. But so many things like that were not removed.The issue is prioritization. Either people who want educational benefits need to get more and better lobbyists, or they need to be a lot more vocal with their representatives. Sealing the borders won't get you another dime.

Im not saying that closing the borders will fix everything. Im saying its one of many problems

As far as your day-to-day life is concerned, it won't fix anything. If you're concerned about government benefits for students, the immigration issue is not worth a moment's contemplation (unless you're an out of state U.S. citizen going to a California state college; then it may be worth a moment's contemplation).

If you're trying to fix the whole government, then it's worth pondering.
