Hope everyone is having a blessed new year...

Well, they're not wasting any time. They're going to close this budget on the backs of the poor, and our public educational system.

1. They hate educated voters

They would much rather have education be a "privilege" of the rich.

2. Tuitions will have to be raised

and this will block out even more lower income students from higher education. Just heart-breaking.

3. Supposedly, Jim Pitts has degrees from SMU. May we look to see if

he obtained them through fraud, or may we investigate SMU for being a shitty school that turns out pedophiles of mass destruction? (After all, he is trying to screw thousands of college students, mostly under 21).
