POLITICS
OA with congressman Kevin Yoder
QA
The University Daily Kansan
What experience or skill that you learned at KU has been the best help to you so far in Congress (or in politics in general)?
Congressman Kevin Yoder has a conversation with Megan Ritter junior from Overland Park, Alex Earles, senior from Salina, and Aaron Dullinger, a senior from Leawood, before his lecture in the Traditions Area on the 4th floor of the Kansas Union. Yoder was at the Union from 11:30 to 1:00 p.m. Students enjoyed free pizza and asked Congressman Yoder questions after his lecture.

ting involved in all the activities and elections here, I would have not ever run for congress or ever be in this position. I attribute a lot of what I have developed as leadership skills from experiences in small student
Kevin
Yoder: My
KU experience really
set me on a pathway to leadership. I can certainly say that if it wasn't for coming to KU and get:
groups here on campus.
Kansan: What issue do you think students should be paying more attention to?
Yoder: Well certainly the debt and the yearly deficit. You know, we're also at a point where when you add up Medicare, social security and Medicaid, that within 30 years, those three programs will take up every dollar the federal government spends, leaving no money for education, no money for research, no money for transportation, no money for defense, no money for anything. It gonna take some heavy lifting by the next generation. We're gonna have to figure out what we can live without. Will the next generation have all the of same entitlements benefits that the current generation has? I don't know. I think students are gonna have to decide now, if I'm 21 years old, what kind of country do I want to live in 30 years from now and
start changing things to fix things down the road. If we wait until our generation is at the retirement age, it will be too late.

"I am definitely counting on the money for summer school. If the money is out, I'd have to get a part-time job, apply for scholarships, anything I can to get extra income."
Student reactions
"I'm going to have to work harder. Apply for scholarships, probably continue to work and use that money toward school."

"I don't like it. I already don't get that much financial aid as it's now, so that was kind helping me out.
So that's 'end of a burnout!'
