Yes, with a catch or maybe two or three, the remunerations will out-weigh the catches:
• The student must complete FIVE hours of community service PER WEEK while
receiving assistance.

Example: Helping Veterans at the VA Medical Center. The student receives the minimum wage (at the
time) amount as a reduction to the assistance amount received. Example: If the minimum wage =
$10.00 per hour. 10 x 5 = $50.00 per week or $200.00 per month that is deducted from the assistance
balance.
• The student must maintain a minimum of 75% in all classes

• The student must complete the chosen schooling, otherwise, penalties will apply.
Details about penalties to be determined, but rest assured I have thoughts on this
subject. They involve community service to reimburse. There will be no free rides; no
derelicts will be allowed

• After graduation, the now employed former student will have .05% of their income per
pay period automatically deducted to repay the cost of the education plus 10% of that
amount.

Example: Earn $2,000 a month: You pay $110.00 to reimburse your assistance:
$2,000.00 x .05 = $100.00 x 10% = $110.00 plus the community service
allowance of $200.00 = $310.00 going to the reimbursement. A $25,000 loan
would take about 7 years to reimburse. So what? And I know school costs a lot
more than $25,000.00. But ask yourself: Why?

Right now you are saying something like: “They will never repay the loan!”

You would be correct and incorrect. You must use critical thinking to root out the impact.

Ask this question first: What is the cost in real dollars and our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for this
nation to subsidize those uneducated and untrained citizens who are unable to obtain meaningful
employment?

The factory owner needs educated workers; an educated workforce provides for the need; the job
provides an income; the citizen is not on government subsidies.

This idea is so uncomplicated that it hurts to even think about it!

The expectation is the first step to success. You are supposed to be the person responsible for your
child. Your child is not my responsibility. Sorry, but as my mother would often say to me: “You made
your bed, you sleep in it.”

My uncomplicated principle is: If you have a child you are expected to:
• Love that child
• Provide a clean safe home for that child
• Feed that child
• Clothe that child
• Educate that child
• Start all over at the top; repeat each step until you perfect each!

If you can’t do all the above, you have no business having a child. I know, I know: You think I am a cold-
hearted person that wants to put you and your child(ren) on the street. No, I do not.
