The concept of this petition is to stimulate the minds of politicians in Washington. In this economy it is frighting that if you finish college there is a greater chance to be unemployed then to get a job right off the bat.
The Issue here is that even if you do have a job you may not be able to sustain a prosperous life. The backs of college students are being broken because of the outstanding burden placed on us due to ridiculous interest rates, horrible economy, and outrageous tuition or fees from universities.
"In 1970 the price to attend U.C Berkely was $700 / year roughly, it is now around $15,000 which is a 2000% increase on tuition." - Sandy Baum, teacher at George Washington University
