Bu..Bu..BUDGET!


thesis: The California budget cuts has a transcending affect that hinders the state for the future through schools, workers, and low income families.

I) Tuition will increase therefore leaving some students unable to go to a higher level of education.
A) With our economy in a rut, loans are harder to come by and obtain without having to put ourselves in a complete hole
B) The stagnant minimum wage will not increase yet the price to go to college will.
C) The Ca CSU's will have to make cuts on enrollment meaning that, there will be less students and less graduates in Ca.
D) Class sizes will increase making it much harder for students to get the one-on-one learning with a teacher.
E) Services will be cut down for students, free tutoring services may no longer exist by next year.
F) The school will become more strict on students and more pressured to succeed in difficult situations

II) Many workers will be laid off due to this cut back because business will try and maximize their potential by laying off employees.
A) Especially day to day, labor workers, will be hit very hard because there job depends on the economy and people who need an extra hand in, improvements to homes, etc.
B) Domestic workers will feel the affect as well, with their job mainly to provide services to those with impairments, but the proposed bill will eliminate some cheap services and therefore losing jobs and services to Californians.
C) Labor intense jobs, artisan jobs, mastery jobs will be on the decline.

III) Low income families who try and make the best of what they can will be hit enormously from these cutbacks.
A) Low income families, typically have jobs that do not pay well and fall under the labor skill job, but with the cut backs on those jobs it will affect the family.
B) Food stamps, well fare checks, that are designated for those in need may see those services either slipping away or seeing the requirements become more rigid.
C) Many state run services that help low income families will dry up because of the lack of funding.

Conc: It is a spiraling affect that has no end! We be to screwed as key be to lock. Everything affects one another, we need to create a solution to our economy funk in order to dig ourselves out of this spaghetti. We cannot keep cutting the rope to peoples lives.

  1. There's a lot going on in that thesis statement! And, the final concluding paragraph seems like word salad -- not sure what it means. Careful about that, even in your blog. I need to understand you.

    This point seems interesting and could be the focus of your entire essay: "The school will become more strict on students and more pressured to succeed in difficult situations"

    So, the cuts at SJSU may cause faculty to be more stringent on student expectations? is this a bad thing? hmmm?
