We The People, Should Make Adult Education Funding Mandatory!

With illiteracy among adults at an all time high and the economy tattered, it seems that the politicians are making poor use of our taxpayer dollars. I’m no economist, but bailing out – excuse me, rescuing – banks, seems to be a somewhat backwards approach. As far as I can determine, the banks are handed a $700 billion gift, unloading the bad debt they were holding. One audacious rescuee held a public party over their largesse, to the tune of $440,000 dollars. Still, the banks refused to make loans, even amongst themselves. It seems logical the the big $700 billion piece of legislation should have contained a provision that required the banks to ease up on credit, with certain sensible parameters of interest rates.
