Voting deadline: June 2457
Description[?]:
This bill is as follows: (1) This proposal raises the standard/bar of the education the Rutanian from 18 years of age (high school) to 21 years of age (college). We must send the message to the people that we want ALL of our citizens to go for the GOLD and get a college degree instead of a crappy high school diploma. (2) While the Federal Government should maintain its policy of fully subsidizing college tuition for poor and lower-middle class families, colleges and universities should NOT be managed by an INEFFICENT Federal bureaucracy but rather Local government. (3) While the Federal Government should definitely maintain its policy of fully subsidizing college tuition for poor and Middle-class families--[i.e. those with incomes BELOW 17,000 RUT or $100,000], Upper Middle Class Families and the RICH should not get any "blank check." They should take out loans. Thank you for your full support. |
