<p>I completely agree that there are much better ways to cut spending and save $5 million (which is nothing considering Obama’s birthday party was $3 million). If the program really ends, which it appears to be, that means I will have been a part of the last class of pages. There are many great employees working for the U.S. House page program and it’s a shame that they are out of jobs. Being a page was a unique experience that completely opened up my eyes to what really goes on in Capitol Hill. I learned so much about politics and it’s pathetic that kids will no longer have the opportunity I had.</p>
