The Republicans have done it again!

Good ole Mike Bishop, our fearless leader of the Michigan House. . .

He and his cronies have deciphered the ails of our higher education system. . .

"Senate Republicans argue that higher education institutions are resorting to increasing tuition, not because of lack of funding by the state, but because higher education institutions are not adequately managing their finances and to "control their costs"

I wish I was making that up, but you can read it for yourself here. This idea kind of implies that our universities are money pits and they can't manage themselves.

Stupid universities, using money. . . OUR MONEY, to educate our residents so that we can build a brighter future for our state. TO HELL WITH THEM! I say, we take all that tax money (though the amount is growing smaller by the moment), and hand it over to the government to pay for their mismanagement of the rest of the budget. Either that, or im sure all of the people over there at the capital building could use a raise for figuring out why tuition was going up.

There is no way that tuition would go up because the schools have less money. . . . or. . . wait. . yeah. . .

I have to admit, I would normally not agree with term limits, however I think I might plan a "good riddance" party for Mr. Screw the Schools, Mike Bishop (I heard his middle name is "stick it to the poor and elderly")

In all seriousness though, it is imperitive that Michigan needs to find a new direction. The manual labor/blue collar work of the yesteryear is behind us. The states future rests in the hands of new industry, an industry that will need people with higher levels of education.

Oh, and I stumbled across some incriminating evidence against our favorite House Leader.
