An open letter to President Obama. (#Day6)

Dear President Obama,

Please print another form of currency to pay for the entirety of every college student’s college education in America.

Please begin a campaign to get around the illusion we are all closing our minds into, one which produces more student loan debt than American’s collective credit card debts combined. Our bill for teaching ourselves exceeds that of living life day-to-day.

Please free the roughly 25 million students pursuing a college degree of-some-form in America from a monetary system which has driven the costs of college through the roof, put millions of kids at the whims of lenders, and subjects kids to paying off student loans for years into the future (with no ability to default on these loans in a bankruptcy court).

Free these kids from debt slavery, from having to make difficult decisions about gambling on their future livelihoods due to a desire to pursue a college degree.

My proposal has not yet happened, I believe, because we have collectively fell for a moral trap, one which places money (in the form of United States Dollars) before the ability of our next generation to pursue knowledge for free. Yes, universities are immensely expensive to operate. But we should not put this burden on 18–22 year olds to pay. We should take a new approach, one which cuts through all the political red-tape and puts common-sense first.

In 1913, the Federal Reserve Bank was created when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. This was a historical and extra-ordinary measure, one which has impacted the development of America for 100 years.

In 2016, there is an incredible possibility to end your Presidency on a historical, monumental note; we can and should create a new National Education Bank, one which can and will pay for every college student in America’s full tuition cost of education through printing a new form of currency.
