Why are you for prop 2 but against 3?

I don't remember exactly, but I think it is because letting the state go into more debt in order to allow students to go into more debt is fiscally irresponsable, especially now as unemployment rates are so high, so the likelihood of default on the loans are higher. Both props propose to pay for themselves, but I have more faith that prop 2 would pay for itself than prop 3 would.

Thanks for posting this. I would've missed the vote for sure. I wouldn't vote on anything other than 5 & 6 though. Too often these initiatives or amendments aim to make the government more effective, but aside from essential services I want the government to be as inefficient as possible.
