In this economy finding money for college is getting harder and harder. Here is some information that might help.

When I attended college in Michigan, our tuition increases were directly correlated to the economic status of our state.

Our governor was implementing policies that created a surge of income for the government, but years later it would create a worse economic situation. For example, trailer license plates changed from being a yearly renewal to a permanent plate. The income from that decision was substantial, being that the new price was ten times the renewal price, but the next year there would be no income for those trailer renewals.

There is some pretty phenominal fodder going around the Internet.

Here are some of my favorites:

Whenever I see a celebrity promoting politics, I think to myself, “Why should I listen to this person? Because they made a movie once about dying on the Titanic?”. Disclaimer, I don’t mean to mock Leonardo Dicaprio, but I think you get my point. Just because they are a celebrity does not mean they know better than anyone else. It is all about raising awareness, which I can support.

Recently I saw an article from TIME that discussed the top 10 banned books.

I was surprised to see Huckleberry Fin on this list. But then again, I was surprised to see any book on this list. The whole idea of banning books makes me think of fascism.
