Commentary for "Cookies and ice cream for education"

                I read an entry from my classmate’s blog, Blue-Blooded in a Sea of Red, and the title of her entry is “Cookies and ice cream for education.” I found her argument to be rather insightful because it shows what the government spends with the federal budget and how the government should be focusing more on the things that are more important such as education. Education is very important in this economy, especially at this moment, because it has such a great value that could lead many people in to getting jobs. The more employed people this country has, the more the economy will gain from it in a positive way.

                 I think the way Ben Cohen visualized how the government spends the budget makes it easier for people to see where everyone’s money is really going towards. I think that the government is so worried about overprotecting our country that they tend to forget the people that are made up of this country. I think that Katy did a great job providing statistics and links that pertain to the issues of education and the video of Ben Cohen was also helpful and I think that the video should be spread in order to inform people about this issue. And if it is spread further, we can make a difference as a nation and this issue that concerns the budget for education can be improved.
