Okay....So it may be possible that many of us September nominees will have to wait and be pushed back to October or November. Is this a big deal? Yes and no......On the positive side, I'll get to spend more time with my family and pay off some pesky bills...On the negative side, I'll have to wait a little longer to start my adventure with fellow PCVs from different parts (pahts as we like to say here in Mass) in my eventual country of service... Does the Peace Corps budget setbacks bother me? Absolutely..... Why is it that the f******* military gets all this money from Congress while the Peace Corps allocates less than what the military spends in one day and is still struggling for survival? I'm sick and tired of political leaders telling me that my life is in consistent danger and we need to spend all of our hard earned money on attacking unknown terrorists in unknown lands... What is the true definition of a terrorist? What constitutes a terrorist? Someone who is objective of our foreign policy and goes to extreme measures to try to change it? We need to spend more public money on public programs... The best policy in transforming a negative society into a positive one is EDUCATION. College is far too expensive for the average joe (including me) to attend..... Why is it that the military can obtain a million dollar helicopter with no ands, ifs, or buts while at the same time I can't receive affordable education to help enrich American society??? The United States needs to focus on helping other countries instead of attacking them....We need to change our foreign policy... We need to be adjustable...and we need to be self-righteous while doing it...
