The Pros And Cons Of Job Corps

The topic I have decided to address is one of the numerous political problems that we as a nation face and their concerns must be addressed. This issue started with the House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) are asking President Obama to force Congress to cut wasteful Washington spending and pledging bipartisan support for this critical effort. In a letter to the President, the GOP leaders ask him to invoke his authority under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to submit specific proposals rescinding spending already in place. Currently now President Obama is calling for wasteful and ineffective programs to be placed on the chopping block in order for the revising of the United States Spending

For if it was a perfect then there is nothing left. There is no room for the imagination. No place left for a person to gain additional knowledge and abilities. As humans it is our job to create things more wonderful than anything before them, but never to obtain perfection within this life.

This percentage should be a lot higher for the taking in consideration the amount of students which enrolls each year. With the amount of people that are accepted and enrolled each year being around 60,000 people into the program. The people who actually pursue a higher education is less than 10,000. It currently sits at 7200 people which are a 12 percent mark of the 60,000 people who originally enrolled into the program. I believe that it should be a higher percentage for the following reasons there goals are to one get people into pursuing a higher education system or training system.
