Sock Full of Boiled Dimes

This is for all college students and students who are about to go to college.
Recently with the terrible hurricane Katrina incident President Bush and his party have gave a large sum of money for rebuilding efforts down in Louisiana. I would tell you how much, but I really don't know. I just know that it is a LOT.
You all might say "HOORAY! Good job they need to fix that area up."
Do you ever stop and ask where that money comes from?
To pay for all the money spent and to get some of it back Bush has cut funding on such programs such as student loans and grants and food stamps.
I won't go into the whole problem with food stamps, but that is a BIG problem.
Instead of cutting taxes and funding to the big oil companies who get the money from your pockets when you pay at the pumps he decided to cut something that helps benefit your education.
In short President Bush has just made it even harder for people to get into college. With the current cut now such programs as FASFA and student loans cannot send out as much money as they did before and now have a limited amount of students they can put on those programs and funding. The federal government has made it to where you cannot rely on them if you want to get into college.
It now pretty much relies on you to go to privet organizations and privet funding to get the money for college. The problem is that those funding gets many applicants and some of them are just too hard to get in the first place.
Also what if your grades aren't perfect? People who have great grades and did well on the ACT or SAT will have nothing to worry about and the college would probably like to give you a full ride, but we all know not everyone is perfect and not everyone is going to get a full ride.
So I propose the "George Bush is a Big Fat Doody Head" march. It's nothing radical, but anyone who thinks this sucks should write to their congressmen and write with big words and tell them exactly what you think about this. Write a lot and tell them how much you think this sucks. You should because you general education depends on those kind of funding.
The government should find better things to cut rather than important things such as that.
EDIT: This is only proposed and not passed.
