Education
"The rapidly mounting enrollments and costs of colleges and universities deprive many qualified young people of the opportunity to obtain a quality college education. To help colleges and universities provide this opportunity, we favor grant and loan programs for expansion of their facilities. We will also support a flexible student aid program of grants, loans and work opportunities, provided by federal and state governments and private organizations. We continue to favor tax credits for those burdened with the costs of higher education, and also tax deductions to encourage savings for this purpose. No young American should be denied a quality education because he cannot afford it or find work to meet its costs". - [more]

As i have said before, I enjoy reading a little history. Not a version or description from todays journalists or politicians describing what something was like. Rather, when it is available, that era's description of themselves and what they really stood for.Todays young adults are being constantly bombarded with Libertarian free market idealism, or, as I like to call it, crap. Additionally they are being bombarded with dire warnings of how far "left" and liberal the Country has moved under Democrats or as I like to call it, crap. But I do not think the stength of this Country is fooled, I think this Country remembers what it took to be great. Policys far to the left of either of todays Democrat orRepublican parties. Policys that supported workers rights over corporate, not the reverse that we have now.Today I am called a "liberal" or a "democrat" for the labor values and policys I support, but, back in the day, I was a Conservative Republican. Best wishes,Steven History - as it was. Here is the Republican Party Platform concerning labor from 1956. The entire platform can be read here - http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=25838 Labor
Under the Republican Administration, as our country has prospered, so have its people. This is as it should be, for as President Eisenhower said: "Labor is the United States. The men and women, who with their minds, their hearts and hands, create the wealth that is shared in this country—they are America." [more]
