AMERICA TO HAVE "THE BEST

WORKFORCE IN THE WORLD"

If Barack Obama will have his will voted for in November, the United States is to invest urgently in its youth and future. This comes in the wake of a report earlier this week. The report painted an "unpatriotic" pic with reference to the difficulties U.S students are coping with. This is especially true in the thorny question of tuition, with student loan debt coming burdensome. The report said that in 2010 student loan debt stood at 19%, up 4% from a figure posted in 2007.

 

The U.S Pres. addresses this very issue, among other weighty considerations, in a television commercial for his re-election campaign to be released this Thursday. Obama told his audience that, as Americans,

"We insure that we maintain the best workforce in the world by...cutting the growth of tuittion in half and expanding student aid so more Americans can afford it."
 

His message is intentionally impressive; its timing brilliant. In terms of his election base, two thirds of voters in the age bracket 18 to 29  contributed to his victory in 2008. It is just natural that he should come out and cater to the American youth.
