Forgive Student Loan Debt to Stimulate the Economy

President Obama will be appearing this Sunday on This Week with George Stephanopolous and Mr. Stephanopolous is asking the general public to submit questions that you'd like him to ask the President. This is an excellent opportunity to, once again, make our collective voices heard, this time directly by the President of the United States.

I posted the following statement on my Facebook status the other day which generated a LOT of heated discussion. Figured I'd post it here and let the debate continue. . .

Food for thought: If we have a government "of the People, by the People and for the People," as well as a democratically elected President who won a majority of the vote, what does that say about those who constantly smear not only our president, but the entire federal government in general? Isn't *that* elitist and anti-American?

If 2008 was the year of "Hope" and "Change," then 2009 is the year of Action. Since the beginning of the year, people from all walks of life have begun to realize that, for too long, their destinies were being written for them by people and institutions who didn't have their best interests at heart.

The ever-growing Student Loan Forgiveness movement is a perfect example of how the concepts of Hope and Change have translated into real Action by people who have decided to stand up and demand that their voices be heard.
