The Feds Want To Know - You Got My Money?

For those of you that were hoping the government would pass a bill that would forgive your student loan. FORGET IT - the answer is a big, fat NO! Republicans are at it again, they have voted unanimously against forgiving you. That's right, Republicans would rather you owe through the ass and let their buddies in the banking industry, collect on your ass, any way they can for the rest of your life. For those that want to continue to vote Republican, go right ahead....at least they are upfront with their contempt for you, the poor and formerly middle class. Democrats aren't that far behind when it comes to making bright decisions. Folks, we should be tired of being jammed in the ass without lube by Corporate America and the people who are supposed to represent our best interests. Honestly, in the last few years, there have been too many bailouts, disappearing pensions, job cuts, fradulent mortgage scams, and schemers taking advantage of financially desperate people. The payback for this shit...NOTHING! We forgave Goldman Sachs. Oh come on, you really think these guys are going to serve real time in a real jail cell! We forgave Bank Of America, the auto industry, B.P. and countless others. But my student loan is going to make or break the government and they really need that piece ass change back because it will balance the dollar right? All the havoc and stealing that went and is still going on over on Wall Street, and no one has been charged and convicted of financial crimes? It seems the government's priorities are screwed up, or maybe they know their priorites and it doesn't concern our poor asses! A young lady I know, told me that she took out a couple of loans for her tuition. I didn't know folks still did that. Thankful for her, she paid their asses back, and probably told them to suck it! Not everyone is that lucky.

Perfection Required For Scoring a Slot at Some CPS College Preps

I remember as a kid, there were a few things that you had to do, to get accepted to a good school. The most important was getting exceptional grades.

The reading the way this new flawed system is set up now by the CPS, there's entirely too much pressure on kids - they won't have a chance to enjoy just being a kid.

To be even considered for admittance into a college prep school, the minimum score is 896 out of a possible 900 - no, that's not a typo. In some cases, it's 895 out of a possible 900. There's absolutely no room for error.

So now, we have kids damn near ready to take their own lives because they've needed straight A's since preschool to qualify for a “good” school.

Here's where it gets fucked up.

There are four tiers, that decide a kids fate.

Tier 1 describes a kid not in the best financial circumstance, in other words, poor.
Tiers 2 and 3 describe the lower class to the middle class, and Tier 4 is a kid from a more affluent family.

These special schools were created to keep the middle class from "bailing out of the system", and the system is treating the middle class like shit, as usual.

And here's why:

All the elite public high schools, require a kid from a middle class, (Tier3) family, to score more points than say a poor, (Tier 1), or a rich kid, (Tier 4).

Even if a middle class kid scores the same as say a poor or affluent kid, the middle class kid is looked over, and will be given a second or sometimes a third option.

Let's be real.

A lot also has to do with who you know...Right Rahm Emanuel?

My personal opinion is it's a little too much. I don't like people reciting information they got from "data" or a census that may determine why these dumbass decisions are made regarding a kid’s future. That information itself is false and debatable, and then you have to ask yourself, according to whom?

The middle class has been getting it in the ass in the workplace and in tax situations, for as long as I can remember. Now we’re asking the offspring of the middle class to sacrifice as well.

I guess they will be satisfied when there is no middle class left, which is the way things are going. These are the first generations of Americans that will not be doing as well financially than their parents, and even grandparents in some cases.

When is enough, enough?

This shit is so unfair. Middle class parents just want a level playing field for their children. Please cease with the smoke screens and just be honest for once.

Tell me upfront that my kid has as much chance of getting into one of the elite schools as a snowball’s chance in Hell. To get a decent education, you have to underprivileged or over privileged now – there is no middle ground.

You already know, that once some of these kids manage to get into these elite public schools, that's when we find out how fucking dumb they really are. That's when you realize mommy and daddy pulled some strings to get these mentally challenged fucks into the “right” schools.

They are so worried about the middle class bailing out on the system, when it's the other way around.

The system bailed out on the middle class a long time ago.
