Right To Vote vs Student Debt.... Which One?

As the title suggests, the article that I found most interesting is from the blog, Splinter, and it addresses the question of student debt (The article URL is below). I know that as a high school student going into college in a few years, this will affect me almost immediately; and I suspect that quite a few of you are going to also be facing this or are facing this now. The question of student debt is something that is talked about a lot, especially in college. The article itself is fairly self-explanatory, and I don't want to explain the article here, so I will leave with the comment that we as students should not be made to suffer because of the instability of the economy. What do you think?

I think that the Trump campaign is mostly worried about keeping their people in office, and so they are only talking and trying to pass laws which benefit their cause. They know that most people think that there is nothing that can be done about preventing the natural disasters, so they don't bother to even bring it up. I think that this falls under the "Non-governmentally-educated people voting" heading, and it's something that could be rectified if everyone were taught the basics of Gove...

The Biggest Mistake This Country Has Ever Made

President Trump has just made a claim that the American justice system is "A Laughingstock" and "A Joke", because the trials for a terrorist Sayfullo   Saipov (The man responsible for the attacks in New York) were too long and didn't give harsh enough punishments. He claimed that there was something wrong with our federal justice system because criminals who are obviously guilty are allowed to stay alive. What is going on here? My opinion (although I know that some of you will probably disagree) is that the biggest mistake that our government made is letting President Trump into office. Ever since he was elected- and even during the election season- he has been working only to further his own self-interests. He was working with the Russian government during the election, he has a number of women going to court against him for sexual harassment, and he has removed that vast majority of former President   Obama's   appointed staff and replaced them with...
