Chapter 973 New situation

When Lynch and Catherine were talking about education, Mr. President also sat down with his important confidantes and staff to discuss this issue.

The atmosphere is very harmonious. After half a year of smooth transition, our own people have been placed in important positions in the federal government. Mr. President has truly taken control of the country in his own hands.

The icy air blowing out from the air conditioner made the temperature in the room very pleasant. The gentlemen sat or stood around Mr. President, and their eyes were all focused on Mr. President.

"... Next we have three directions, education, medical care and social security!"

Mr. President's words were not easy. At this time the door opened, everyone looked back, and Mr. Truman walked in with a briefcase.

"It's a bit of a traffic jam." He was late, so he needed an excuse.

Mr. President looked at his watch, "It only takes 15 minutes to walk from your place."

"But the road is a bit congested." He found a place to sit down, and Mr. President didn't continue to talk about it, he was just late.

He took the coffee from the staff member, said thank you, and asked, "What's the point?"

"We just talked about the three major reforms, and we have to choose one." Mr. President's attitude is very firm, not like a joke.

The three major federal reforms are education, medical care and social security. There are many problems in this, and urgent changes are needed.

But because there are too many interests involved, any change is not so easy to complete, and it may even trigger attacks from those whose interests have been damaged.

Seeing that Mr. Truman had nothing to say, Mr. President continued his previous words, "Every president before us has talked about these issues, but no one has been able to solve them."

"We might be the first to do it, and history will remember us."

"What we have to do now is to choose one, put it on the cutting board, and then think about where to start..."

The atmosphere in the room was also relatively depressing. No one spoke. Mr. President was a little disappointed, but it was within his expectations.

Behind these three major systems are the interests of many capitalists. If he wants to touch these now, it will definitely arouse opposition.

He's the president, he's done his ass and he's gone home, the others have a long way to go, what's next for them?
His eyes stayed on everyone's face for a moment, but these people who were usually very sharp, pretended to be contemplative as if they hadn't noticed that Mr. President was looking at them.

Until, his eyes fell on Mr. Truman.

"If you have to choose, then choose education."Mr. Truman gave his own answer, which was surprisingly consistent with Mr. President's own thoughts, which also brought a smile on his face.

He stopped looking at other people and kept staring at Truman, "Tell me why you chose education."

Mr. Truman took a sip of his coffee, "Because we can only nibble this!"

"Education groups are different from medical groups and insurance groups. The biggest difference is that we change some education rules without touching the core interests of education groups."

"They may be dissatisfied with our behavior, but there will be no excessive actions. People don't need to destroy a city for a fly."

Now the so-called education groups, what they do is no longer limited to the relatively simple business of monopolizing knowledge. What they operate is actually a kind of network, a kind of "gang".

This seems a bit unbelievable, how did the education group get involved with the gang?

This happens to be the case, for example, the Holy Harmony Alliance, which can be said to be the largest interest group in the field of education.

What do they want?
It is people's concern for alumni status, people's yearning for candidate members of the Holy Harmony Society, and the ability to build rich and reliable social networks and relationships before graduation by attending a Holy Harmony Society school.

This is why so many parents are willing to spend a lot of money to send their children to prestigious schools, and even these prestigious schools are unwilling to recruit sponsored students, and they have to try their best to cram their children into it.

This kind of "commodity" brings higher profits and more terrifying influence than monopoly knowledge, but the negative effects it brings are the smallest.

People never hated those Holy Harmony colleges and universities for not admitting their children, they only hated their own children for not being good enough, hating themselves for not being rich enough, anyway they didn’t think it was the school’s problem!

How scary?
Even the medical group can't compare to this. At least some people will scold the medical group, but few people scold the education group.

So in this case, changing the education system will not really touch the interests of those education groups.

Public universities sell knowledge, private universities sell the secret to success, they are not the same thing!

Everyone in the room knew this, but they didn't want to stand up first, and Mr. Truman stepped forward, and the president thought about the day he stood in his office, expressing his despair for the country and for the capitalists and outrage.

This just made the president trust Truman even more, because he knew that he had no one to rely on except himself.

Mr. President nodded, "I also talked about education reform in my inaugural declaration. This is exactly when I fulfilled my promise. I don't want to be called a 'liar president' when I retire!"

"So Truman, where do we start?"

Mr. Truman didn't hesitate too much, "Start with a lower standard."

"I thought you were going to say build more public schools." The president's mood was lighthearted, which was a joke.

The construction cost of a public school is not high, but the maintenance cost is not low, and not every city can afford it financially.

The more advanced the school, the higher the cost. Now there are only three or five universities in many federal states, and many cities do not have public universities.

The unaffordable cost is a big problem. If a lot of public schools are to be built, it will put a heavy pressure on the federal budget.

In addition, the source of the teacher will be more troublesome.

Mr. Truman shook his head, "There is no need for this. We just need to expand the existing school campus so that it can accommodate more people to study."

"Primary and middle school reforms should not be too big, and universities...", he pondered for a while, "We can encourage local governments and private joint ventures, or give to those who are willing to establish private universities, but follow the new rules we have formulated Some help."

"For example... Shengyuan."

"There will be a lot of people who want to go to college but can't afford it, like Lynch..."

The room was filled with good-natured or not-so-good-natured laughter. Everyone knew that Lynch was doing well in his studies, but because he had no money and no education insurance, he would not be able to attend high school.

Although he is now in a school of the Holy Harmony, everyone who knows him knows that this is not really school.

That kind of superiority in the bones made people laugh, they finally found the better side of Billy Lynch, they went to college!

Mr. Truman is also laughing, "Education reform will allow more bottom-level people to support our political program, and we will also be able to elect more talents for the Federation, and they will change this country!"

There is a kind of luster on everyone's face, a kind of luster full of sense of mission.

Once successful in education reform, they will be an essential part of the history of the Union, because each of them has promoted the progress of this country.

Mr. President nodded, "Don't reveal this matter for now, we still need to wait."

"A lot of this year's budget has gone into the pockets of the military. We don't have the funds to launch this reform. Next year, or the year after that, it won't be a problem when the finances are looser."

"And this needs to be discussed and studied in more detail..."

This is normal and not a problem.

The tone seems to be set on this education reform, and they don't even think about health care reform and insurance reform, because they know that's absolutely impossible.

Rather than being hated or even revenged by capitalists, let's talk about education, and people care more about this.

In the next few days, the entire Federation was very calm, and more and more people accepted the "offer" of Shi Mo Mo, they borrowed a sum of money from Mo Mo Mo, and then used it to compensate for the damage caused by Mo Mo Mo loss, and then have to pay the installment of this money every moment.

It sounds a bit confusing, but this special measure was quickly learned by the bank. They adjusted the calculation method of personal installment, and adopted the method that the faster the payment is made, the lower the interest, and the slower the payment is made, the higher the interest rate , there is a little miraculous effect for a while.

In addition to these, in early June, two things slightly touched some people's nerves.

The first thing, there was a fight in Marillo, when the former backers of the moment lost the financial support of the moment, and when they still had the money to maintain their size, the general launched a war on the neighbors.

This is not a battle between gangs. You and I are across the street, hiding behind a trash can, holding a pistol and pulling the trigger with your eyes closed in an unknown direction.

Except for the passer-by who was killed, no one on the other side may be injured.

This is war, real war, and more than 3 people are fighting on both sides!

The sudden break in the peace in Mariro has led to a lot of pressure on the border, with Mariro trying to cross the border into the Commonwealth every day to seek asylum.

But now...the federal policy is to ban labor immigration, in other words, they deny ordinary people to come here in any form.

Unless they have money.

Or have technology!
At this time, Sanchez, who had disappeared for a while, reappeared in Mariro. He held high the banner of "peace and fraternity" and began to recruit people. The slogan was to create a truly peaceful Mariro, a Mariro and Mariro A country where people can live in peace.

This is as ridiculous as someone saying that shit will become delicious after processing, but some people really believe it.

There are always fools with dreams, aren't there?
