1 Word regarding these student loans that are now available to low- income people. Why aren't these monies paid directly to the schools instead of being given to the "so called students" themselves?A big majority of them are partying spending and having a damn good time with the money. They may as well face the facts, they are going to be working part-time low paying jobs, like we all are.The unemployment is over 1 1/2 years, Icannot fathom anything like this. Why should these individuals keep being paid this kind of money for doing NOTHING?It's nothing but a country of handouts for the rich & the poor! It will be final death knell for this country!

> DEBRA LAMB: All of it will be used to provide scholarships for low income working families who need child care.

Jack- At first I thought that it was "college scholarship" money. It's for "daycare." I guess so people can go to school and what not and have free daycare. I wonder who's going to head the task force to ensure that the people who're getting free childcare are using it for the good.

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Gemini

Maybe it's pre-Christmas tension but people can turn nasty in the blink of an eye today. This is especially likely if they've got a lot on their plate or they think they're very important, and you may have to treat them with kid gloves if you want to avoid getting sucked into a bad-tempered war of words. Some gentle humor may help to rescue the situation before it descends into acrimony.
