A year of change
Issue date: 1/20/09 Section: Opinion
And so another semester has started, along with a new year.
With any new year, there comes some changes. But this one in particular seems to have a lot of changes ahead.
We can finally say goodbye to our entertaining president. Indeed it is an end of an error.
And now, we can see history in the making with the arrival of our new president. Even if you didn't vote for him, you will have seen a part of history that may change a lot of things.
Even our college is changing. We have lost our tuition cap and will have to pay more money for an education. Yipee!
It would be nice to know how much Tennessee Board of Regents pays all the administration in their schools. It would also be nice to see first hand their budget. Maybe this would give us insight as to why we have to pay so much money for something that we should be able to obtain for little or no cost.
I guess that is just America. We must pay for everything. Which is fine, but cost just continue to rise, while our dollar becomes weaker and weaker.
Hopefully, we won't see our dollar become worthless. What would TBR do then?
Maybe we will see a great change and have our soldiers back among us. If Barack Obama is really the "change we can believe in," and he didn't just say that to trick millions of people to vote for him, we may see a better change.
Obviously, our economy is in big trouble. You hear it everyday and are probably tired of it, but it is the truth. You may not know, but we are in so much debt that we are just spending money we don't have. It will be interesting to see where it goes this year.
But don't rely on the president to save us all.
You can change things too. Become involved with this world. A lot is wrong with our country. If you don't stand up and do something about it then you can't expect the corporate world of Washington to do anything for you.
It is a new year. And many resolutions have been made. Don't just make a resolution, follow through with your resolution.
So, welcome back and good luck in this semester. Be alert. Become involved. And remember to read The Settler every Monday.
