Ooh, purty
Save us, feds! And after we become absolutely reliant on the feds to save us, suddenly we're in a bit of a bind when the feds can't save us anymore. So what do we do? Do we become more self-reliant?
Ha! Of course not. Instead, we keep screaming at the feds to save us by pulling money out of their gigantic ass.
I especially like this picture, and the sign second from the left. Because of the excellent design, you see STOP in the octagon, and STUDENT AID below. At first glance, it reads STOP STUDENT AID. The RAID inside the octagon is obscured by the structure of the sign, and doesn't appear to be related to "STUDENT AID."
The education committee in the U.S House of Representatives passed a bill to reauthorize the Higher Education Act last July, freeing up to an estimated $11 billion from cuts in student aid programs, which Republican legislatures said could help to offset the federal deficit.
But how many Republican legislatures said that? And which ones?
"Students shouldn't have to pay more for higher education," said ASUC senator Vishal Gupta, after putting a call into his Orange County representative.
Also, I shouldn't have to bend down to tie my shoes. Therefore, by saying this, my shoes will begin to tie themselves, reality aside.
