Children Of The Recession

[cheapcape]

Katie is a fraud. She makes up plenty of her "issues" just to make a big profit. It's called sensationalism. Fuck you Katie for lying to people.

its about the kids of the babyboom generation picking up the bill for their parents

who want to continue their life of luxury(and debt)

at all costs.

even if they have to sacrifice any chance of a good life for their own children.

Katie,

I have 49 original songs at BertGriffin88. Take a listen to "Oh.....The Depression It's A Coming On", "It Never Trickles Down Stairs", "Bend 'Em Over Bernie", "Tumbled Down Town", Ain't Got NoWhere Left To Go", "(Not Gotters) You Just Get Got", "Trust Me Baby, I Can Handle What's Wrong", "There's No Way Out For Me", "Always Yesterday (And Never Long Ago)", "Rich Man, Rich Man (Not This Time)". There are 39 more at my site. Take a listen, you just might find something of interest.

By the way, how many "children" go to college anyway?

[jenilehman]

Thank you CBS --A lot of media time is rightfully being spent on the economy. One topic that I havent heard about is the impact that a failing economy has on kids. Looking into their wide eyes, we tell our children that they can be anything they want to be. Millions of kids show up to school with the desire to learn and the smarts to succeed—but without the tools to do their work. The Kids In Need Foundation provides free school supplies to kids most in need: 1.6 million students in '08

By the way, I saw you at the 92Y NYC last night. Great interview as always. Whether you believe it or not, you ARE a continuous source of inspiration to girls (and women) all over who are told on a variety of ways that they have hit the glass ceiling. I was proud to have the opportunity to hear about your life's experiences (good and not so good). they certainly shaped your life and as you said, have made you who you are.

Congrats on the Cronkite award. Congrats on your career! WELL DESERVED!

[normi66]

Excellent idea Katie. As always, you are keeping up with the beat of the people! (right on girl!)

I am glad I had the opportunity to complete my education in the 90's (and now left to pay my loans-- but thank God I am able to do so!) but I recognize as I see my nephew who is gearing up to go the college, how different things are and we are worried about how his parents may afford to send him to the school of his choice. These are indeed hard times. But as they say these don't last long!

COMEUPPENCE KATIE!!...(YEAH)

[MariaSupernova]

I think this is a great idea! I'm a university student and feel that this recession is hitting hard - but will hit even harder once I have to pay off my loans. I'm constantly debating dropping out because I'm worried about having to pay off these loans!

[TaaNaa]

Drop out and do what?

The smartest move right now is stay in school and study. By the time you graduate - the recession will be less sever if not gone, and you'll have no problem getting job whatsoever. Then you'll pay off your loans.

[MariaSupernova]

Ok, well I'm not sure if you are aware but in my province, tuition is increasing, so that is definitely affecting my decision. I see your point and will probably stay in school. Although my comment was mainly focused on how this recession is affecting students. It really doesn't matter what I do from here!
