Glad you're here! Both those ideas are good. Give it up about marijuana - leave it ALONE forcryingoutloud and get out of our faces about it! AND making college more affordable.

They'd hate me as president. One of the first things I'd do is issue some executive order forgiving all student loads. Period. Don't know if that's within a president's range of powers, but I'd do it anyway. A president can formally "forgive" or commute sentences, pardon whatever supplicant seems fitting, correct? Why not this? For Pete's Sake, give the kids a break! They'll have enough of a financial challenge just trying to make their way in the world after school. Besides, it's not supposed to be that damned expensive!!! It's costlier for all of us under the present system!!! We need more highly-educated people to help think us out of the problems we face!!!
