[quote="DGFone"]And now: The financial impact of the voting.
I woke up today to find out that not only has Obama been reelected (something I already knew), but that California also passed just about every tax measure it had. So now not only am I displeased with the election results, I am also calmly informed that there is a high probability that my family will not be able to afford living here anymore, and will have to move out. This will almost certainly impact my college education in a negative way, so let me make it loud and clear:
Unless you want to send you an extremely angry letter,
DO NOT tell me how great it is that someone who promised to legalize gay marriage got elected is a good thing.

If you're in as bad of a financial situation as you say you are, apply for a Pell grant. It's basically free money provided by the government that you don't have to pay back, as long as you're going to school. The money I got from my Pell grant not only paid for my tuition, but my books as well, and I still have a thousand dollars to spend on supplies and gas to get to school after that.

And, let's not forget this is a debate thread, after all. You are free to express your opinions, of course, but do not expect to post something here without anyone else arguing and debating over it. You're gonna have a bad time.
