So much to do, so little money
The university is facing severe budget problems, and ASUC is stuck with little money thanks to well-thought out spending plans by previous ASUC bodies. What's to be done?
Go get Michael Moore! Bring an idiot with crappy factual skills to come talk at a high cost to the student body in order to benefit the tiny minority of students who would go.
Fight Prop. 54! In the spirit of letting students make their own decisions without being bullied by the ASUC, let's bully students to vote no on Prop. 54! With false information, no less! ("It's bad for medical research..." which, if I recall correctly, was explicitly excepted in one of the earlier versions... I dunno about now, though)
Lobby! a.k.a. blow money trying to convince people who don't care what we think to care what we think.
Partner with CalPIRG! Woo! Way to put that money to a place where it'll come back and help us, the students!
Don't give said money to student projects like student publications which students actually read. You know. Us. The students. The ones you're supposed to be representing.
This is why petty SA politics are so much better than broad-minded CalSERVE ideals. We may as well do research on which way toilets flush on this side of the equator by flushing money down them. At least then we could get a government grant.
