Working my life away

Got my grades today. A, B, B, B-. Not the best, but i'll take it.

Since i got home ive been working non stop. 30 hours so far this week, and it's only thursday. Yeah, the money'll be nice, but i wont get to use any of it for the shit i want to use it for because the great Iowa State University wants all of my money. Kind of a lot frustrating.

I drive a delivery truck, so i have a lot of time to think about shit, and me having to pay iowa state comes up a lot.

I get to wondering about the way our government is trying to repair our economy. Theyre sticking money in banks and other things, obviously making an effort. However, i ask one question, and it has a rather simple answer. Who will be the largest group of people to spend money, therefore stimulating the economy, in the future? College students.

Why then, is our government making it harder for us to get an education by taking away student loan opportunities. I understand that if they put too much money into students' education that there wont be jobs for us when we graduate, but surely something can be done.

Also, why not bail out the automakers? Dont give them money directly, but give the people a credit with which to get a new vehicle. Say the government buys cars for qualified Americans who've paid their taxes and such. Wouldn't that sustain, if not create, jobs for the automakers?

Maybe i'm naive and my questions and ideas are stupid, but the stuff ive said seems like common sense to me. Then again, those people are in power for a reason. I just hope theyre not the wrong reasons.

In any case, i'll get to work my life away regardless of bailout money or the creation of jobs. Like my mom said today; welcome to the real world. Nice to fucking meet you.
