Issue paper idea help?? Cant choose between the two.?

Ok so for my issue paper i dont know what topic to do. I had to find an article on current issues please tell me which you think would be best.

Heres what i have:

One article was on the increase in cost of living. For that my suggestions for improvement were:

1. Lessen imports from other countries thus taking away from transportation costs & gas ussage, and it also takes away from the rising debt were in from them

2. This allows us to create that many more jobs here in florida & all of the us. The slight increase of probably only pennies in produxt prices allowing these american citizens work is still a great benefit.

3. Finally, the most basic thing we all must do is seriously cut back on gas ussage & ride busses/bikes/carpool. This is so beneficiary because not only does it save the enviorment & money, by using less gas, we cut back on consumption so the less usage will lower prices & conserv our oil supplies.

The other article was on teacher layoffs:

1. For this the first thing to do would be to cut down on frivolous spending for extravagant electronics that are bairly even used anyway. We can manage with simple white boards (chalk boards) & dells instead of the thousands of dollar promethian boards & imacs that on the rare occasion they are used just create hastle. Anyway they're mostly used for simple internet or printings tasks that are totally fine on simpler computers.

2. Next would be to hold some more school or even all county fundraisers. Just like the yearbook class sells chocolate but on a wider scale. Different schools can host a different event weekly. There could be anything from a movie/game night to band/drama preformances & maby even a small local carnival in which all profita would be shared between the schools so they can pay additional teachers.

3. Lastly, we should just make our voices heard. Schools could advertise for any stundent parent or teacher affected by the teacher cuts to share their oppinions & experiences resulting from them. I know that if students knew it was possible to get teachers for more classes & electives they would surely try to help. I for instance was looking forward to at least a technology course to learn some cool & helpful things but that option was restricted from me. The board & government has been reliable for education needs before & Obama is actually curently raising funds to stop teacher cuts. If either hear of all the ways it really has affected us, they might just submit some neccesary funds.

Im just suppost to explain the issue in 2-3 paragraphs like who/what/where its affecting then my 3 suggestions to help. Obviously i have to do some research for whichever i choose but which concept is best?
