We need a free on-line university, which at the average cost of 40 to80 million, it could will cut into the 850 billion we spend each year for traditional schooling and save up to 100,000 in student loans for American families. As well as giving everyone access to a future, this will give the working poor in this country a fighting chance in the new global economy. We ether educate the working poor or figure out how to better work in those jobs that third world economies will no longer do.
This will also be a green solution as these students do not need to be on the road every day in addition to their work commutes.
Re-education is not even fundamentally addressable with our traditional schooling, since the pace of work-training needed for good paying jobs requires that many people who are now graduating are having to re-enter the moment they get their diplomas.
One final note for me is that this educational access to accredited diplomas will actually create a situation where America will become a Real Democracy! Where the word democracy will have a real meaning of access to opportunities; Where everyone has the opportunity to participate in the jobs this country offers. For too long have we watched our country is sell out its working poor.
In short this is as much about True Democracy and Social Justice in a county that has just waved a flag
and avoided what is the greatest moral issue of our time!
