I am honored and humbled to announce that the essay I wrote on January 29, 2009, the one that went viral and gave rise to a true grassroots movement that I honestly never saw coming, has been included in the publication "Should the Federal Government Bail Out Private Industry?"
This text book, aimed at Young Adults from the "At Issue" series published by Gale Cenage Learning (Greenhaven Press) includes pieces from such influential voices such as: Richard Gibbons, Terence Corcoran, Declan McCullah, Matthew Rothschild, Paul Krugman and. . .well, me (go figure!).
I cannot begin to express how incredibly proud I feel to have played even a small role in shaping public opinion this year - particularly as it's not something I initially set out to do. This publication is the perfect ending to an incredible year and I want to thank each and every person reading these words for all of your help and support in spreading the message of student loan forgiveness as a means of economic stimulus.
It truly has been an honor to have met so many people from all walks of life and, by shining a light on the plight of the educated poor, I hope this endeavor has helped to take away the stigma of excessive student loan debt.
Happy Holidays and best wishes for a safe, healthy and prosperous 2010!

Wonderful job on your essay Mr. Applebaum. Public opinion matters and this would certainly put a smile to class D individuals who are having troubles enrolling their kid or children to colleges or state universities.
Being published is, of course, laudible...
But being published in a Textbook is *almost* forever!
Congrats.
