I decided to interview my cousin, Edward Garcia, about the California budget. My reason for interview him is because he is always up-to-date with the latest news, he is a student just like myself, and always has great insight on topics, I knew he would be the perfect canididate.
AF: What do you think about the budget itself as it is right now?
EG: As of right now I think it is horrible, we keep on spending more than what is coming in. we need to react to this fast because more drastic measures will occur.
AF: How do you feel about the price for going to college?
EG: I think its ridculious how much money we pay for tuition, yes its true that there are scholorships and what not but what about for those of us who are not lucky to recieve those, we end up paying large amounts of money out of our own pocket or end up building debt just so we can better our future. That's not right.
AF: So do you hope that the price of college will go down?
EG: Let me put it to you in a way i see it in my eyes, this might not be the answer your looking for but it's my answer. With out a doubt I do believe the tuition fee should be reduced, not so we just pay less, but because the lower the price for college the more people will be willing and able to attend universities such as SJSU. This means more successful people in life which will reduce crime and help society better as whole because now there will be a whole bunch of people roaming the streets with degrees and not roaming around with guns.
