DID THE MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION CHANGE OBAMA SCHOOL GRANTS AND STUDENT LOANS?
Most everyone has heard by now there was a big election in Massachusetts Tuesday night that didn’t go so well for the Democrats and the Obama administration. Republican Scott Brown won Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat and with it he took away the Democrat’s super majority that they were going to use to push Obama health care through.
That election has sent everyone in the news trying to figure out how things will change now that the Republicans can block most anything they want if they really feel like doing so. Many say that there will be no health care reform now or at least it will be much different than it was going to be.
The President has many things on his agenda such as his Obama student loans proposal that would shift college loans away from private institutions and into the domain of government control. Regardless of whether you think this would be a good or bad thing, one has to wonder how this change in Senate seats numbers will affect what he chooses to move forward with and what he chooses to abandon.
The Massachusetts election has shown first hand how people are upset with how things are going in this country. Some people think Obama is doing too much and others think he is doing too little. Many voted for him to end the war and to put money in people’s hands and get them back to work. None of those things have happened and so they are angry. Other people voted for him to push through health care, gay marriages, and other such things which haven’t happened yet either.
If you are looking for Obama school grants, Obama debt relief, or some other form of assistance from the government, you might be confused where to get it. Obama made it sound during the election that he was going to help the poor and the people who needed help but unemployment is now around 10% which is very high. People need school loans and debt relief to pay off bills and they are suffering badly. New jobs are needed desperately but they don’t seem to be coming and nothing seems to be being done about it.
With the just completed election, one has to wonder what the President is going to choose to tackle in 2010 and whether Obama government grants and Obama money will ever be available to those who need it like single mothers. Will he try to get another stimulus bill out to the people or will he decide to take a different course of action? Are we going to see real change and real help from the government in 2010?
There are government grants from state governments, and there are even government grants available from local authorities. With all these grants to choose from it can be difficult to know where to start, or how the government grants that are available to qualification.
