The State of California Educational System vs. Governor Jerry Brown

I don't know if you all notice but the state of California's new Governor Jerry Brown is proposing to cut $1.4 billion dollars in the California educational system. $500 million cut from California State Universities, $500 million cut from University of California and $400 million cut from community colleges. Is he serious? Wow, the State of California really doesn't see education as valuable for the long run. It is the first thing that goes? What's next? No more jails? Before we know it, the State of California is going to be run by idiots and crime rate will increase as we don't have enough police offers on the streets. What a mess?

By having these budget cuts, means more student loans will be taken out. Students are already having trouble just trying to graduate today because of recent increases in tuition. The other downfall is that educational jobs such as faculty, administrative positions and other crucial positions will be cut. The student to faculty ratio will be disproportional and the quality of education will decrease.We are not progressing, we are digressing and going backwards in trying to find a solution to debt - student loan debt that is.

Please give me your comments on this topic.
