Hosted by Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks, http://www.youtube.com/tytuniversity|TYT University> focuses on college students and related issues (tuition, finding a job, dating, parties, religion, campus controversy and everything in between). We're looking for students, faculty members and recent graduates struggling to find work to submit videos from across the globe that might be used on the show each week.


Summary: 30,000 college students in Michigan have been kicked off the food aid program to help reduce the state's budget deficit. Human Services Director Maura Corrigan brushed it off by suggesting these students simply get a part-time job. Ana Kasparian and Jayar Jackson discuss.

3. If they can't find jobs, why don't they just go be the boss of something?

4. But could Ramen noodles possibly get any cheaper?
Well, I guess those free-loading "students" can go to the local soup kitchen;
although these soup kitchens are definitely 'out' in many cities, and their numbers are being reduced:

Will it be long until the Federal Government gives out recipes on how to cook & eat grass, just as North Korea (where millions starved to death, but that can't happen HERE. Or if it does, it's a lesser evil than taxing those poor, so put-upon wealthy) did?

Mmmm, can't wait!

5. The university just might discover that their food stamps are worth more than their degrees.
Can't have that now, can we?
