Free meal system for students

One of subject today’s present was “Free school meals”. There were several arguments whether the free meal system is alright or not. Agree side said this is our duty of society. It means that help the lower income families is needed. There are several reasons for disagree the free meal systems because of government’s budget and realistic. 4 billion won is needed for the free meal so every people need to pay the taxes more about 100 thousand won every year. In these arguments, the free meal system has operated in Kyeongsangnam-Do.

I remember when the free meal system came out from media, most of people had thought about is it right or not. Every news had large amount of comments and I’ve got the feeling that between agree the system and disagree is like the progressives and the conservatives. At that time I threw my message to agree side and also in this time. It’s true that there are many of poor families in our country. The newsmagazine program from SBS played 2 months ago showed how to live the people who have lower income. Maybe more than most of people’s think, their live is very hard.

I wonder the government’s policy. Likewise oil price in last week, we have little resources and farming rate, domain. Only our weapon is ‘People’. Grow up the brain for our country and spread to worldwide is the best way to management future. Educate the children, teenagers and encourage the science and technology is very very important. But the Ministry of Information and Communication has disappeared since 2008 and many government's member say no education if don’t have money. The free meal system is just part of iceberg. I think it’s not way for our society and country.

Rising oil price in Korea

 There was a presentation about “rising the oil price” in April 4. The presentation gave us what would be current if the oil price is rise and why it has happened, and what can we do in this situation with two discussions. We could exchange several opinions for less use of oil, develop new energy resources.

 I want to see current problem that oil price with other sight. It’s true that oil price has grown over the global countries and the especially high oil price in Korea is also true. Of course we don’t have oil field sadly but it isn’t suitable price. We can hear easily oil companies gathering profit incredibly and sharing incentives. It means that we don’t have suitable cost in country for using the oil.

 The government said, however, “There is no excessive profits in oil companies.” Because of nearly 50% profits have gone to taxes. I wonder why the government has little charged rich guys’. It’s important problem for not rich guys. Same 10,000won has different meaning between rich and not. There is needs the pressure for taxes to rich guys more than ordinary people.

 So the government must impose sanctions against oil companies and must regard not only oil part but overall economic problem for citizens.
