What job can an 18 year old work at that would be able to pay his tuition at the same time as going to school? None. Tuition is at least $18k/yr. To pay that off and other living expenses, the person would have to work a 40K with a high school degree. That doesn't exist in this world for young people.
Also, these students were told this degree would get them a job in their field. They manipulated the job numbers to say "Hey, you will get a job when you graduate!" Which weren't true. These schools broke the law, that's why they are trying to get their loan forgiven.
Yeah, sure, lol, in an IDEAL world, your ideas would work.
That I got an education with little help from my parents, worked so I could limit debt and got useful degrees that provided the income to pay back what I did have to borrow shows how wrong you are.
As for to that self reliance being "IDEAL" world and it doesn't work so we need government to do it for us, all I can say is
THAT is why we don't rely on charitable donations anymore. MOST people don't give a shit about other people. That's a fact.
The tsunami in the Indian ocean and other catastrophes shows how wrong you are.
Also, apparently personal responsibility like I took apparently just isn't part of your world as you keep ignoring that completely.
My view is:
1) Self reliance
2) Charity
Your view is
1) Government
Gawd, that's what keeps getting us deeper into this mess. Government provides our retirement and now our health care, you people now want free college. Oh, but government spending will reduce deficits kaz. Yeah. You are tripping
Corinthian, a for-profit school (which I will get back to in a moment) that was shut down because they couldn't receive federal funds because they used deceptive marketing techniques and lied to the federal government about their job rates
This isn't just about fraudulent loans. Did you read the article? She just doesn't want to pay:
"By the time Heiney graduated in August 2014, she said she had racked up $18,810 in debt, with nearly 80 percent coming from federal loans. This month marks the end of the six-month grace period on her student loans, which means the government will starting asking Heiney for its money. But she won’t pay."
Maybe she CAN'T pay.

Our GOVERNMENT gave the people of India money too. Duh. So did many other GOVERNMENTS. Maybe you should realize how much money our government gives to foreign countries every year (BILLIONS of dollars) of "YOUR" tax payer money. A lot of that money could be kept here to help US.

The American people gave far more than the American government did, contradicting your claim again we're a bunch of cheap, selfish people. Foreign was the reverse, almost all giving was their government. And yes, all foreign aid should be eliminated, every dime
Well, la-tee-da. Some of us had parents who could not afford to send us to college. Okay? Consider yourself one of the LUCKY ones.
Unfortunately, you are just WRONG. Food banks are suffering every year because they NEED more people to donate food. There are TOO many people in need and not enough generous people out there to rely on charitable donations.
Your world is a fantasy world.

Um...this is pointless if you're not reading my posts while you respond to them. I've been going on endlessly that my parents barely helped me. Are you reading the posts at all? My parents had a deal. My mother helped my sister, my father was supposed to help me. This probably wasn't thought through, my father didn't pay child support while we were growing up. And he barely helped me. I wasn't going to ask my mother for help, she couldn't afford to help both my sister and me. So I did it myself. Again, how are you missing that? I've gone into it several times already.

So government will do it for us and bam, we'll save money! People will get useful degrees and not waste the free money!
And you say I live in the fantasy world, now that's tripping
Cheering for another economic crisis??
He fixed it alright.....yeah awesome....I thought Obama fixed this when he took over student loans
So according to some liberals, being dishonest and irresponsible is "awesome."
"Awesome"? So it's awesome to sign a contract for a loan to get an education and then to refuse to keep your word? Most people would cal that dishonest and irresponsible.
Sheesh, who are you people? Where were you raised? Do you have any concept of basic values like honesty, integrity, work, and responsibility?

I didn't say they have to work for all the money. I ended up with $4K in debt. I worked odd jobs for $10 an hour in the eighties doing painting, yard work, etc. I also worked nights as a network operator. I had to be there 4 hours a night. I didn't have to work unless the network is down, they were fine with me doing homework. Summer, winter, spring break I worked full time plus.
I worked at working at it. That's what it takes.
Look, your personal story has NOTHING to do with the fact that other people cannot afford to go to college, even if they DESERVE to be there. I don't care about your anecdotes. They could be lies for all I know, therefore, they are POINTLESS. The fact is that many, many, many deserving people cannot afford to go to college.
Conservatives are against raising minimum wage, against public assistance, against helping people in any way whatsoever. Well, sorry, this is not the 1950s. Times are a LOT harder and everything is a LOT more expensive.
Yes, government should INVEST in our people!!! The only argument you have is GREED. You do live in a fantasy world. Tax money collected is not YOUR money. It is our money and should go into bettering our people and preparing them better for life.
There can certainly be stipulations on the way the money is spent too. Just like with student loans, you HAVE to maintain a certain grade point average. You can't just slack off. They could also limit it so that it doesn't include such things as "liberal arts."

Yet you brought it up when you said I was lucky to have parents who sent me to college, suddenly when it turns out I did it myself it’s off limits and I get chastised. Yeah. Is this your final position or are you working on another one?

The minimum wage only prevents people not worth an arbitrary dollar amount from getting a job. It’s evil and does nothing but harms the person you claim to want to help.
As for conservatives are “against public assistance, against helping people in any way whatsoever.” First of all, again, I’m not a conservative. Try to keep up, I’ve already pointed that out. I’m a libertarian. Bripat and Uncensored are also not conservatives, Bripat is an anarchist and Uncensored is a minarchist. You want to argue with conservatives, go for it, but right now you are not.
Second of all, you’re full of shit, conservatives aren’t opposed to government providing assistance. You pulled that out of your ass, it’s baseless and you can’t possibly show that.
Third of all, you’re full of shit, assistance to you is only when government does it. Charity by force isn’t charity, only charity by choice is. Take a crow bar to your wallet and help people yourself rather than running to government to do it for you.
Yes, government should INVEST in our people!!! The only argument you have is GREED. You do live in a fantasy world. Tax money collected is not YOUR money. It is our money and should go into bettering our people and preparing them better for life.
You are delusional. Nothing government does is “investment.” Government spends money, it invests in nothing.

How many government programs will it take to get you to grasp that every stupid government rule fails, as well as the rules they add to fix the rules that didn’t work, then the rules they add to fix those rules that didn’t work, …
LOL, the "Republican" couldn't spot the liberal fallacy.
Government not giving people free college means Republicans oppose college.
What morons you both are
Perhaps you should have read the topic before spouting off:
We have too many college graduates as it is.
4 year community college that extends childhood to 30, and makes a bachelors as worthless as a high school diploma is now.
It takes a special kind of retard to believe a college education is worthless or that "we have too many college graduates".
Did you read the thread title and the OP's post? The discussion is about government paying for college. I know bripat and uncensored and neither are going to oppose you buying a college education with your own money. They are both going to oppose you buying a college education with our money
BTW, once your tax money leaves your hands. It is NOT "your" money anymore.
What a useless statement. If government pays more out, they one way or another take it in out of the economy. So yeah, it is my money
No it's not "your" money. It is "our" money once it goes to the government. Higher education is a good investment in our country and our future. An educated society is a GOOD thing.
Tuition at most public universities is a lot less than 18K/yr. At University of South Florida the tuition for a year is about $12KYeah, sure, lol, in an IDEAL world, your ideas would work.

Yeah...and for the default period as reported on the Credit Reporting Agencies, the little ingrate fucks credit is trash...
