Let them eat Cake....

A couple of days ago President Obama was in Michigan to launch a new initiative concerning Community College enrollment around the country. It struck me that that was wise move, by a wise man. . A lot of people that go to college out of high school have no business going to a four year school, it just isn't for everybody.
The President's initiative strikes at the root of the problem here in America. Blacks, Latinos and poor whites, that have high school diplomas or a GED but really, no marketable skills. This is a problem, it breeds people who are lost and become fatalistic. We see them everyday on the evening news.
Community Colleges offer people, (for a reasonable price) and in a relatively short period time, a life long skill to build on. I would hope getting these skills, and working in their industry for a few years would lead these people to start their own business'. In looking at the way America is moving, this will be the only way that people who don't at least invest in a graduate level education can keep pace with the haves of this world.
I hope the President Obama will use all the powers of his office to get the information to the people who most can use it. Right now with the recession raging and people with and without marketable skills being put out of work, this is needed. We don't want a 'Maria Antoinette' moment-hear in America.

Gardening Tip: Did you know, after you prune your plants, they get hungry, especially when you do a hard pruning. Feed a plant after pruning and then add mulch at the base. This two step process should add nutrients to the plant that should last you the summer.
