Rationally the logic is sound, we take on debt in order to get a good paying job which we can use to pay it back later. Unfortunately it’s not that simple anymore. College used to be the place you go in order to get better jobs than the rest of society, kind of like a shortcut to success. Nowadays that is no longer the case, in fact, the opposite is true. If you don’t go to college, you are almost guaranteed to not get a job, or if you do it will only be a minimum wage job, with no job security, that won’t even pay for the cost of living.
More importantly, it hurts the lives of the many people that were working for Hostess. They can't make a living without a job, without a job they wouldn't have the money to pay for their bills or even their house and might even add to the growing population of homeless people. It would also hurt the states in which the bakeries or plants were shut down. Also, the liquidation affects the people who love Hostess, people who grew up with Hostess, and the new-coming babies that won't be able to enjoy any of their products anymore. The Union is supposed to help the economy, not take away businesses that will help it.
Also, when America itself has problems, we should be more focused on correcting our own country rather than helping others. Not many people realize the fact that the U.S. really isn’t doing as well as we should be. Putting money into operations such as “Operation Iraqi Freedom” because of the fact that we lost an incredible amount of money on something pretty pointless. Iraq is still terrible and will continue to be terrible. Spending money on improving other countries isn’t always going to have a positive impact.

By one estimate, the cost of four-year public college tuition has tripled since the 1980s, outpacing both inflation and family income. (NY Times) This alone makes it impossible for the average student to attend a 4 year institution to attain a degree to better their life. Think of the number of families that are living at or below the poverty level, now sending their child to college becomes an additional burden that they cannot bear. The increase in the tuition burden is largely caused by declining state support for higher education in the past three decades. In both good times and bad, state governments have pushed more of the costs onto students, forcing many to take out big loans or be priced out of once affordable public colleges at a time when a college education is critical in the new economy.
Feeling helpless due to the economy they become addicted to claiming help from other sources other than themselves because it just seems easier. Thomas argues,” Anyone who thinks dysfunctional government is going to help their dreams is putting their faith in the wrong place.” In other words, the government cannot help everyone. Instead we should but putting our faith into ourselves. We are what makes America today, and if we don’t like it, then maybe we should take action and change it. If we were to start by supporting small business, we would be creating more employment, and keeping money in the community.
Since the begging of the American deficit the American upper class has been constantly gaining ground and earning more and more dollars per capita every year ("Occupy Wall Street"). While on the other hand the middle class has been slowly losing ground on the upper class and the income per capita is slowly decreasing. If the trend continues there will only be an upper powerhouse class and a lower poor class. This angers a large amount of the population. Not only is it just money figures it’s the idea that these middle class students are going to college for several years on a promise that if they get that degree they will be able to live comfortably, and due to the current state of economy this is just not true.
Therefore congress should not pass raising the minimum wages for it doesn’t make a difference to our society III. Closing Statement: Aristotle, “The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.” Emphasize, If you manage or try hard enough to graduate and get a degree, isn’t that much sweeter

Evaluation helps to measure what parts of the planning were a success or failure (Gerhart, Hollenbeck, Noe, & Wright, 2014). Review/Analysis of the Case In Yahoo’s case, these steps should not be taken lightly. The company is severly understaffed due to losing employees to other companies. Filling these high tech positions will be hard for them considering they have a lower employee rating than other companies, such as Facebook and Google. This can lead to potential employees not giving Yahoo a second look.
