Government Bailout Blog
Maybe now is not such a bad time to be a student. Maybe your parents are supporting you, or maybe you just don’t have enough money saved to lose in the quickly plummeting stock market. If you are an entering freshman, you have four years ahead of you that can provide a relative shelter from the crumbling economy. Who knows, by the time you graduate, the recession may even be over (you hope).
Despite all these “maybes,” it seems that today’s students are definitely concerned with economy, and rightly so. For those with money saved, over 50% have lost some money due to the recent economic collapse. Others have had to take on a second part-time job, drop courses, or move back in with their parents. With all this economic upset, it is no wonder that most students surveyed said that the economy was a major factor in their voting decision. However, it remains to be seen whether either candidate can turn the economy around. Students were overwhelming against the government bailout.
Many expressed a laissez-fair attitude to the economy and told the government to just butt-out. Read the results of our survey on the Economic Crisis and the student vote to see if the results line up with your views.
Kudos to all of you who filled out this groundbreaking survey, but don’t let your voice end here. Go out on November 4th and VOTE!
