Pension obligation bonds is just a nice way of saying we're going to go borrow more money to pay for the money that we owe. That means that that debt, if you look at it over 30 years, guess who gets to pay that? You do. The students of today will be the people who are the debt payers of tomorrow.

In the big scheme of things, it's big, but not overwhelming for us. We put extra money in the budget for things like this to happen. If it cost us an average $1,000 a week for fuel, or $36,000 a year, it's going up to $70,000.

I was motivated to be different in part because I was different.

This is all a love for us - these are our babies and our children.

I woke up that morning and everything was over. All our dreams are gone.
