National government and it's spending

I strongly agree with Jimmy's post about "My thoughts about government". Yes, National government should focus more in its internal Issues rather than focusing on wars around the world. U.S known as the one of the powerful country around the world and it should be like that. National government is like a credit card and State government is like a debit card. The government does not have any money; it takes our money from us, and borrows more, then spends that. Suppose you want to spend more money this month than your income. This situation is called a "budget deficit". So you borrow (i.e; use your credit card). The amount you borrowed (and now owe) is called your debt. You have to pay interest on your debt. If next month you don't have enough money to cover your spending (another deficit), you must borrow some more, and you'll still have to pay the interest on the loan. If you have a deficit every month, you keep borrowing and your debt grows.  If we keep on borrowing money from other country (like China, or any foreign country) then, soon the interest payment on our loan is bigger than any other item in our government budget. Eventually, all we can do is pay the interest payment, and we don't have any money left over for anything else and interest payments on that debt will become the largest item in the federal budget. Right now, U.S is facing economic issues and it’s affecting every states. Recently, Texas is cutting back in its budget, and they are planning to cut government Medicaid like CHIP, other Medicare too.  Many people is going to affect by this decision. 

TIME TO ACT, "DREAM ACT"

Well! Everybody dreams to be a part of something, something that you are proud to be. This article named, “On legal status, it's academic,” by Ruben Navarrette Jr., writes about the illegal immigrant living in U.S, who works hard and do the dirty jobs that previous generations of American did without complaints, but now, the time is changing, and the tables are turning. Illegal immigrants were used to be invisible, but as a time changes, they seem to be everywhere. 

In this article, writer talks about an illegal immigrants like Pedro Ramirez, an undocumented immigrant, who is running for the student body president at California State University, Fresno, but recently, he has to withdraw his name from student body president, because he is an illegal immigrant. Writer, Navarrette argues that one doesn’t have to be a U.S citizen to run for an office in student government, it’s not as if, he is running for governor, or president! However, this article is related with illegal (undocumented) immigrant students, who lack of a Social Security number, an impediment for receiving financial aid, and how can DREAM ACT help them to secure their future! 
The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (The "DREAM Act") is a piece of proposed federal legislation in the United States that was first introduced in the United States Senate. This bill will provide certain illegal and deportable alien students like Pedro Ramirez, who graduate from US high schools and arrived in the U.S, illegally as minors, and have been in the country continuously and illegally for at least five years prior to the bill’s enactment. 
The Dream Act is an opportunity for those illegal students to earn conditional permanent residency if they complete two years in the military or two years at a four-year institution of higher learning. The illegal alien students would obtain temporary residency for a six-year period. If Congress passes Dream Act law, it permits anyone, including undocumented immigrants, who attended and graduate from high school in the state to pay the in-state rate at public college and universities.

At Fresno State, you don't have to be a U.S. citizen to run for an office in student government. If the DREAM Act become a law, student like Ramirez would be an ideal candidate for eventual citizenship. Until it does, he's a candidate for deportation.
