Have you toured around the Washington DC Suburbs lately? Lots of growth and conspicuous consumption reminiscent of the Silicon Valley right before the dot com bubble burst. Will we see the local economy collapse around Washington DC?

The answer is probably not, because those rat bastards (opinion) continue to vote to spend more of our money. Yes, it is taxpayer’s money and they are spending our future money too, money, which they have borrowed into the system. The government unlike the Silicon Valley firms of the day have unlimited resources, unlimited borrowing power and limited cranial capacity (opinion).

Can you imagine what would happen to the area if the government ever stopped the wasteful spending? Let’s face facts the Federal Government wastes our money at every turn, using our money against us in unnecessary regulations and then complains they do not have enough? Come again? Name one thing that the United States Government does well; I mean efficiently, on time, on budget and you say to yourself; Wow, good job!

Did you come up with one thing? Oh really name 10 more. Seriously there are 1500 three and four letter agencies. Certainly you can name ten right? Out of 1500; come on I challenge you, do not give me any lip; name ten! You can’t can you? We have 2 Trillion dollar budget and you cannot name ten things the government does well? I say close the government make it a website and hire Wal-Mart to run things; they understand efficiency, delivery and low-cost.

Seriously folks think about it; we are funding the Washington DC Suburbs and all those bureaucrats and folks who sponge off the system with our taxpayer’s money. Go there see for yourself the place resembles Silicon Valley before Bubble Burst. You want to economic collapse in the Washington DC suburbs; put the government on a diet and you watch. Consider this in 2006.

The Federal Pell Grant is a grant program initiated by the federal government to help college students pay for their education. They are awarded to students studying for their first bachelor’s degree. They are not available for graduate students. The other criteria are the Expected Family Contribution, the cost of attendance, whether you’re a full-time or part-time student, and whether you attend school for a full academic year or not. These factors can also effect your eligibility and the amount of the grant you receive.

Federal Pell Grants is part of the FAFSA, or the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. So the first step in obtaining the grant is to apply for the FAFSA. Just like the federal grants they are government aid that need not be repaid. They are given according to the financial requirements of the student. But one thing that should be remembered is that these grants given for educational purposes are not very large. You might opt for colleges where you have to pay less, like community colleges.

Two factors that affect the amount of grants is the expected contribution of the parents and the parent’s claim about the dependency on their income. The US department of education determines the eligibility of the student for the grant and decides upon the type of grants to be awarded to the students.

The results of the application scrutiny will be declared three or four weeks after submitting the FAFSA. The Federal Pell Grant may be awarded if the student qualifies. There are no specific requirements or cut off in grade point averages (GPA). The grants range from $400 to $4,050 per student per year. The students may get a lesser amount in the first year of their education and will be awarded more in the subsequent years.

Federal Grants provides detailed information on Federal Grants, Federal Pell Grants, Federal Government Grants, Federal Grants For Small Business and more. Federal Grants is affiliated with Government Business Grants.

Last Summer the Federal Trade Commission put forth a report for the Franchise Industry; 432 pages of study. This report asks Franchise Industry participants to comment on only certain aspects of franchising which were addressed between 1995 to 1999. It is good to see that the FTC is finally doing something after 10-years of sitting on their rear ends with a stick up their butts, however one has to ask what about the issues between 1999 and 2005. Thus this exercise is completely flawed if it’s goal is to bring the franchise rule up to date with consideration to the newest technologies of today in 2005. The process was also started during the ned of an election cycle. They should have known then that when Bush was re-elected it was quite conceivable that there would be a downsizing in government due to Federal debt loads as well as a downsizing of staff.

The expanding market will pick up those who are willing to put in an honest days work in the real world. So, then we need to look at simplifying the process to run more efficiently at the Federal Trade Commission with fewer people, since they will be out on the street, which is where they should be after terrorizing American Businesses and Franchisors. The easiest way to do this is to make the rules simple for less unnecessary opinions, case filings and regulatory oversight at the Federal Trade Commission, since there are other more important things to work on.

If Kerry were elected there is no doubt that larger businesses would call for more domestic and international protection of their markets and less regulation, thus more exemptions for larger corporations. The comments in this report reflecting million dollar accredited investors or sophisticated and knowledgeable investors would be very apropos to a Kerry Administration judging by his senatorial voting record. This would also mean these rules we are discussing now will continue into the next period in a political climate calling for less regulation not more.

Either way the FTC Franchising Division knew or should have known that the near future trend will be less government spending and less regulation. The country cannot survive and prosper borrowing two-billion dollars per week with consumer and capital money flows going out of the country at this rate due to greener pastures for manufacturing, outsourcing and investment for relief from over regulation and future unanticipated taxation.

The Federal Trade Commission has no business meddling with the franchising industry as there are no real issues in franchising of any significance hurting consumers; fraud is non-existent. John Edwards if he became the Vice President might like to see more trial lawyer suits to command presence and there would have been a switch from government control of law or referee scenarios of the game to controlling by private right of action.

The Federal Trade Commission’s job then might be more aligned to this present way of doing things here in this report. Taking advice from outside attorneys who wish to use the government to manipulate laws making more lawsuits possible and continued higher awards, which is where the Federal Trade Commission in this rule-making endeavor is taking us now. Think about it.
