How Far Will Gay Marriage Go?

by Ac Hampton

In this day in time in the Unites States of America gay marriage is becoming more familiar and people are getting use to same sex relationships even though if its only seen in the media. But when is our country going to realized that this is going to far and when will we realized that we are setting a terrible example for the generations to come.

Senator-Elect Cory Booker married 7 same-sex couple as soon as the clock hit 12 a.m in New Jersey on the 21st of October.New Jersey was the 14th state to recognize gay marriage.

A state judge ruled to legalize same-sex marriage in New Jersey, saying gay couples would be denied federal benefits if the state kept allowing only civil unions.

Same Sex Marriages are becoming more and more publicized through Mass mediums and now the legalization of gay marriage in the 14th state. How long is it before half of the country supports gay marriage?


Governor Chris Christie dropped his appeal on the law after realizing it wasn't much that he could do seeing as though the issue went over his head


The governor concluded that, legally, he was out of arguments, and that it would be what one aide called a “fool’s errand” to continue in the face of almost certain failure says the new york times.

Our children are growing up in state where they can see same-sex couple interact and perform just as easy as a regular couple. We are showing them it is ok to be a homosexual and it is not. we are allowing kids to be adopted by same-sex couples depriving them of either a mother or a father. We're turning the situation from moral wrong into a civil right. Who are we really protecting?

Proposal: Gay marriage in New Jersey

Today new Jersey is the 14th state to recognize gay marriage. this goes to shoe citizens of the united states that same sex marriages are becoming more common and close to our homes. although most of us are taught that a man and a woman must be together, the government is making it legal so marry anyone you want. 

"The state has advanced a number of arguments, but none of them overcome this reality: Same-sex couples who cannot marry are not treated equally under the law today," said the court's opinion, written by Chief Justice Stuart Rabner. 

Will same sex marriages cause an issue in our communities? will its change the visions of our children an the generation coming after us. Are we setting good examples by allowing same sex marriages to be legal?

How much does President Obama care about the uprising issues of student loans ?

By: AC Hampton 

How much does President Obama care about the uprising issues of student? Obamacare or The Affordable Care act is supposed to correct the problems that our country has been facing but it doesn't seem to be correcting the student loan issue, it's making it worse. President Obama is using funds from the student loan industry to fund healthcare.

With the federal debt at $16.7 trillion, student loan debts measure at 6% of the overall national debt says Forbes.com.

The Affordable Care Act is set to cost students enrolled in the government’s loan program $8.7 billion in extra interest over the next decade, according to a report published by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.

Before Obamacare banks such as Bank of America and Suntrust were allowed to issue private loans, but now the government is controlling student loans and issuing them at a higher interest rate.

If savings were kept inside the loan program, instead of transferred to Obamacare, as some Republican senators are suggesting, they could allow the Department of Education to lower student interest rates to 5.3 percent from 6.3 percent, according to the CBO.

The nearly $9 billion in increased student loan debt is being used to pay for Obamacare, and it is derived from $106 billion the government says it will save by administering student loans in house,says the CBO.So while the government claims to be saving big money on student loans, your interest rate's going up.

So over the next decade education cost may become unaffordable for most families and student loans interest rate will be raised to uncontrollable rates for most recent graduates.Obamacare is planning on increasing our interest rates to fund his healthcare program. Our president is digging itself into more debt.

How does Obama Care Affect student loans


How does Obama Care Affect Student Loans

One part of Obama care is to Abolish student’s loans. Because of Obama care all student loans are now federal loans, which will lead to higher rates.

The Affordable Care Act is set to cost students enrolled in the government’s loan program $8.7 billion in extra interest over the next decade, according to a report published by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.

If savings were kept inside the loan program, instead of transferred to Obamacare, as some Republican senators are suggesting, they could allow the Department of Education to lower student interest rates to 5.3 percent from 6.3 percent, according to the CBO.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell states that, Medicaid cost increases associated with the healthcare law have forced states to raise tuition rates, also negatively affecting college students.

Before this happened banks such as Citi and Bank of America provided federal loans, private loans,. Now the government provides loans and banks are no longer able to offer any type of loan to students as a result.

So over the next decade education cost may become unaffordable for most families and student loans interest rate will be raised to uncontrollable rates for most recent graduates
