Speaking of education, I would like to pimp slap the governor of my state (MI) for slashing higher education budgets so that all the universities will have to raise tuition AGAIN at HIGHER rates for the next 3-5 years, making it very hard for me to finish my masters when I return to grad school.
My governor also needs an additional pimp slap for slashing budgets for state agencies (mainly social service agencies) and not lifting the hiring freezes to said agencies so that social workers like myself and my colleagues can get better paying jobs!! Blessedly, I have a social work position, but it is part-time and I'm looking for a full-time one.
