By the time young people have worked at McDonald's long enough, they will already have real-world responsibilities, and be further priced out of college. Taking a year off college is a hilarious suggestion -- I doubt Arby's will be able to finance a car, a living situation, and food. All while attempting to save up to go to a four-year university.<br><br>We as Michiganders, but more importantly as Americans, have a responsibility to our young people to give them an affordable, quality education. Education should not be just for the wealthy. The cost of tuition has gone up 50% since 2004.

Go to community college. Go part-time. There are many ways you can attend school if you really want to. You are responsible for your own education not me.

Bishop, if you're busy getting the Michigan Promise Scholarship cut from the budget? Oh yeah, John Porter, he balanced budgets: on the backs of Michigan students! I agree that he is not a serious candidate. Who could vote for someone like that? How are we supposed to take the reins, Sen.

Karl Bouwhuis,

God forbid the Senate Majority Leader views today's issues as the most important. This was not a campaign stop. It was a conversation about what he is most concerned with – our future!

If you want to know about his campaign, go to one of his campaign rallies, or go to his website.

Until then, stop complaining about petty nonsense.
