Brian Schweitzer yet again needs to get a clue, a little thought before he speaks might help too. To help Montana college graduates stay in the state after college he proposes to make thier student loan payments tax deductible for five years. EXCUSE ME, don't they have to have a job to pay taxes. Most college students leave the state since there is a lack of jobs in Montana, not because thier loan payments aren't tax deductible. We need more buisness opportunity in the state, not hare-brained schemes to help Montana college students out.

I just graduated with my Masters from Montana Tech, and have been actively looking for jobs in-state. As each day goes by, I'm becoming resigned to the fact that I'll have to leave. Maybe I should get a job at the local town pump, so I can take advantage of Schweitzer's bright idea.
