Alana Is Reading

The American people actually deserve to hear choices which are not bought and paid for by multinational corporations and Wall Street. This is why we are not hearing the critical issues in this debate. Where are young people in this debate, in this election? You’d think that the younger generation must be public enemy number one, for all the bandwidth and all the attention that young people are receiving in this debate. How about those 36 million students and recent graduates who are effectively indentured servants because they are carrying around unforgiving horrendous debt specially customized for students so there is no way you can get out of that debt. It will follow you around, it will garner your wages, bankruptcy will not protect you, this is special ‘student debt’ brought to you by a corporate sponsored Congress. Where is the attention to the plight of these young people, carrying that debt, facing a 50% unemployment and underemployment rate, unable to pay back that debt. Where is the issue of skyrocketing costs in public higher education? Where is the solution? The solution in fact is that we could be providing free public higher education… This is absolutely the right thing to do instead of bailing out the banks… It’s time for Americans to really hear about the solutions to fix this problem and to hear about the candidates that they have a right to vote for.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, in a speech given while being arrested while protesting outside last night’s debate that she and libertarian candidate Gary Johnson were shut out of.

Some inspiration for your Wednesday.
