After reading “Waking Up and Taking Charge” I understand it will be a very controversial argument. However, I have to agree with the argument being made in the article. Something must be done to help the financial crisis facing many college students, and the way to fix it is through legislation. I am not usually a very big fan of PACs, but in this case it may be a scenario of doing the wrong thing for the right reason. The article “College Debt” helped lay out in front of me the issues facing college students, and how urgent those problems need to be addressed. They both convinced me of their argument. I was convinced there was a problem, and then the second one convinced me that her solution would be an effective one, and one that I could morally back, regardless of the criticism.
