GVL | QUESTION OF THE WEEK The issue of whether to keep or to kill the Michigan This week the Grand Valley Lanthorn asked six community members: tuition tax credit is a simple problem with a simple solution: get rid of it. What was tha highlight of your summer? The creators of the cut were surely well intentioned, and the first few years after it was implemented in 1995 it was successful. But now the credit does little to benefit those footing growing tuition bills. One alternative to the credit is to use designated money * to increase funding of state universities and colleges. This seems like a wiser, fairer solution that would knock down jacked-up tuition costs and over-stretched, thinned- out wallets. By eliminating the credit, funding could increase from 1.5 percent to 3 percent, and Grand Valley’s tuition It was being able to One of the best times The highlight of my do nothing all was spending time summer was moving would probably decrease.

Germans may love David Hasselhoff, but residents of third-world nations would doubtless choose a bowl of The Value of rice over one of his timeless classic LPs. I say the answer to each of the above questions is no, but we shall soon enough see. Then again, there is hope. Many Americans do have their tax rebate coming to them courtesy of Dubya and the boys at the IRS. Six hundred dollars could buy lots of boy "band CDs, rentals of "Dude, Where's my Car?" and the like. Even sadder than our craving for manufactured, packaged and carefully perfumed feces is that our whole economy and, consequently, quality of life are based on buying more of this feces, if we think the economy is baa, it will be bad.
