21 Apr 2012 | 4:30 amPresident Obama believes that we should be doing everything we can to put higher education within reach for every American – because at a time when the unemployment rate for Americans with at least a college degree is about half the national average, it’s never been more important.

Suggestions for Obama

Election suggestion
16 May 2012 | 1:43 pmFor the election,not enough focus has been put on to the fact that the US, thanks to the efforts of President Obama, is now on the way out of the recession, whereas, Europe and most of the rest of the world is still deep in trouble and some countries are still sinking. We need to relate what the Republicans are advocating, to the moves that other countries have taken, which are unsuccessful. It needs to be done tactfully, so as not to make enemies in the other countries, but am sure it can be done. Location: Newbury, MA. -
Student Loan Consolidation
9 May 2012 | 7:06 pmPlease restore the option for students and parents to consolidate student loans at lower interest rates. It used to be this way years ago, but the policy was changed prior to Pres Obama taking office. Having lower interest rates now, only benefits students who are taking out loans now. Students and parents who took out federal student/parent loans in the past are forever locked into the rates of the year they took out the loans (regardless of whether they have a job or not). Why should two students who borrowed the same amount of money for their education have very different monthly payments… -
Term reduction of Patents
9 May 2012 | 10:00 amIf the life term of Patents are reduced from present 14 – 20 years to 5 years, more industries will crop up to produce / manufacture those products, generating more employment and healthy competition leading to price advantage for the ultimate consumers. In this fast changing advancements, patents of more than 20 years may not be in use and would have undergone modifications. Those inventors / developers of patents would have made their money in the first five years !!! Location: Toronto, Canada -
Tax Food to help offset Student Loan Interest
7 May 2012 | 1:50 pmBy putting just a 1% tax on food items, over 3 billion dollars would be raised which is more than enough to help offset the potential rise in student loan interest rates instead of cutting into financial aid for women. Who can’t afford one cent for every dollar spent on groceries? Location: des moines, ia -
put people back to work please
4 May 2012 | 11:36 amthis is more suggestion then a comment, but it seems to me in order to get the economy back on track we need to put people back to work. it also seems that the best way to do that is to invest in infrastructure. At this point, we should be willing to cut almost anything from the budget to off set the cost of this. please help the economy by getting the funding needed funneled in to infrastructure.
