Are These Classes Necessary?

I started college about 3 years ago. My first class that I took was public speaking and strategies for success. Although, I greatly enjoyed the topics that we discussed during these classes I began to wonder if this class was absolutly, necessary. I am sure that I am not the alone in asking this question. By the time we graduate one can't help but think where all these classes that  I have taken all of these years absolutly beneficial and helpful for my career. This is a normal question for any student. I'm sure you remember in elementry contemplating the relevance of learning algebra or learning about the cold war. Are these "extra classes" a ploy to collect more money from students? Or are these classes beneficial to your future career. I'm sure the extra information learned during these courses would be beneficial for enlightened conversations at a cocktail party but is it really beneficial to our major and our career that we are working toward.

Obama Healthcare Bad Decision

I can honestly say that Obama really tried hard during his four year term. He tried his best to fix the economy but his efforts were futile. I believe in his effort to "make a change" the economy remained stagnant. With the healthcare reform he tried to implement free health care for Americans, but his efforts may have been the downfall of America's future. It seems great that we have free healthcare. But where are we getting the resources to provide this free healthcare? I believe around 2015 our economy will drastically fall because of inflated taxes to pay for this healthcare iniciative. In concluclusion naiive American's may think free healthcare is a great idea. But it will not be great when in five years we pay extra in taxes (for example a stick of gum costs 10 bux). He tried his best but I believe his decisiion was border line socialism that is not what America is about in the least bit.
