I took the political Ideology quiz and found out that my best fit is Next Generation left. Meaning I have very liberal attitudes on many issues such as the environment and foreign policy. I think these results are pretty accurate. I do not have any political influences or experiences. I've never voted before, but I would like to in the future. I am taking this class because it is a class that I need for general studies. But I am definitely looking forward to learning more about government.

I completely agree with my colleagues opinion on this post "Free College Tuition", Bernie Sanders "College for All Act" is an excellent idea that should be considered. I did look more into it, and this is definitely a great way to give young people from low and middle income families the opportunity of a lifetime; to be able to attend public colleges or universities for free. It is a disgrace how hundreds of young people today do not go to college simply because they can't afford it. This is not a radical idea from what I read as I looked more into it, this is something other countries have done, so why can't we do it. In addition to that, there is also many students that have to work up to two jobs during the day or even at night, to be able to afford college on top of student loans. There is also current college graduates who owe big loans and are in debt. Students shouldn't have to drown in debt to get the education they need to survive. Education is a must and it is very important, an educated person has more chances of landing up a good high paying job. Giving this opportunity to young people who are determined to be successful is definitely a great idea. Yes "This legislation will make our economy stronger and more productive". -Bernie Sanders
