Think about it, you are depriving a child of learning a life skill, you are giving them more reasons to drink, do drugs, and other destuctive things. Young people need structure in their lifes. Music provides such structure. I propose that we increase funding for musical education. Many people can not afford to own or rent a musical intrument.

If music helps America's youth, why are we taking it away from them. If we could fund a trillion dollar war, why can't we put an instrument in thousands of childs hands?

Well, I'm with you on this issue, at least.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
