America NEEDS To Offer Free College!

The United states of America should stop offering the "Student Loan Forgiveness Program" and instead offer free college to all its citizens. In today's industry, you need a college degree or some sort of certification to be considered for most jobs. In many jobs a college degree is required specially the ones that pay "really good." But any college student can agree that it is expensive, and to have a student loan forgiveness program was great, until last week, when the "Education Department" made a statement where they tell borrowers that they cannot rely on the programs administration to say if they qualify for forgiveness or not and that the approved letters could be rescinded at any time. Although the forgiveness program offers great benefits for its borrowers, like, after the ten years that their borrowers have worked in a government or non profit organization their debt is cleared, we would not be in debt or even stress about this program to see if you even qualify and if you do to later get a letter that states otherwise, if America just offered free college. It is unbelievable and sad to hear stories of those who do not go to college because they cannot afford it, and those who do go end up owing more than they will make in a lifetime. You have not even graduated, when you realize that those years that you spent getting an education for a good future will be doubled in the years that it will take you to pay off your student loans and any money you will make, will really not be yours since most of it has to go to your student loans, which as stated above might take years before you can even pay it off.

"The Terrible and the No Good, Very Bad, TV News"

Donald, Walter and "The Terrible and the No Good, Very Bad, TV News," is a blog by Marty Kaplan posted in the Smirking Chimp where he argues how "everyone knows that TV journalism failed us during the 2016 campaign, and how everyone knows the Media is clueless," for example about Trumps election how all the blues turned into red and it was all a shock, but he feels that maybe, "Sometimes something everyone knows is wrong."

Following statements from other media where they state that Americans no longer have faith in the media,  Kaplan feels otherwise, in a quote he congratulates journalist for their hard work, and feels that not all media is "clueless", Kaplan states that, "It’s always worth celebrating good journalism. But I can’t think of a more urgent hour than this to honor journalists for stepping up to their civic responsibility to face reality."

I cannot help but to agree with Kaplan, yes the media has disappointed us but not all media is the same. This is a problem for us Americans, since at the end of the day we are not sure who to really believe, but like Kaplan argues, I too hope that at the end of the day "at a dangerous moment, TV news can countervail against propaganda, paranoia and a president who calls news media “the enemy of the people” and “scum.” Since after all we Americans and specifically new generations rely on mass media for our news over our Government, and without at least one reliable political journalist or a media outlet, what can we hope for our future.
