1.Sometimes it’s appropriate to look a gift horse in the mouth.
To put it another way, there’s an awful lot of truth in the saying ‘If it looks too good to be true….it isn’t.
Nowhere is that more correct than the utopian promises of the Left.


2. One of those seemingly wonderful promises is free college tuition.

“…Democrats this week are expected to unveil a sweeping plan to make college more affordable by reducing debt and simplifying financial aid. The Democrats’ plan would also endeavor to boost graduation rates.”

Whether the promise is based on how good it is for the country to have a college-educated electorate, or how wonderful for your personal happiness and successes, neither is true.

Here’s another fact of life: there is no such thing as a free lunch….or free college education.


3. It is not an educated electorate that is a benefit for society, it is a moral electorate. Almost every dictator, tyrant, and genocidal leader has been ‘highly educated.’
Free college has two main benefits to the Left: it supports their colleagues/apparatchiks, and it produces Leftist clones.





4. Someone has to pay for that ‘free’ education, but the fact is that there are a number of ways to get a college education without a government loan or handout.

  1. Work Study Programs
  2. Work your way through
  3. Work at a job where your major will be paid by the job
  4. Night school
  5. Community College, then transfer
  6. ROTC will pay your tuition
  7. Take eight years….ever hear of anyone asking ‘how long did you spend getting the degree?’
  8. Scholarship

5. “It’s 2018 and Americans are more burdened by student loan debt than ever. In fact, the average student loan debt for Class of 2017 graduates was $39,400*, up six percent from the previous year.

… over $1.48 trillion in student loan debt, spread out among about 44 million borrowers. That’s about $620 billion more than the total U.S. credit card debt.” U.S. Student Loan Debt Statistics for 2018 | Student Loan Hero





Here’s the bottom line: the Left wasnt you going to college….and not for your benefit.

Conservatives in TN wanted it. Thats why we have it now ;)
How many hacked out threads have you made here? 96,784? And you still dont know not to put titles in all caps?
You really are a special case..
 
Tax-Free College endowments are a pet peeve of mine.
There needs to be a number above which they pay taxes on, something like our IRA limits.
Then colleges can lower tuition or start building more modern facilities with their excess funds.

Our free college and vocational school tuition is paid for with lottery money
Hear that statists? You dont have to tax hard working americans for everything. Use your BRAIN instead.
 
We need vocational schools.

We need to be teaching skilled trades to people.

%80 of us have no capacity to be executives, lawyers, doctors or engineers. Pushing the bottom rungs of society through college to become lawyers is how we end up with Weapons Grade Stupid bed wetters as judges, or complete lunatics like Ruthie Ginsburg. It's how we end up with engineering disasters, shitty doctors, and google execs who support communist sociopaths over successful business owners.

Yes, I'm calling the google execs stupid. They have to be.

Yet, you can't point to a single lie.

What do you suppose that means?
 
6. Free college has two main benefits to the Left:
it supports their colleagues/apparatchiks,
and it produces Leftist clones.



7.Let’s begin with the idea that college education is wedded to financial success.


“There is little evidence to suggest that a college degree alone is likely to raise a given person’s income…. “the bottom half of the earnings distribution for college grads—not just enrollees, but graduates—sits lower than the top half of the earnings distribution for those with only a high school education.”
Ben Shapiro: The real reason Democrats want free college tuition | Opinion




Don’t you think that the Democrats/Liberals/Socialists who make it easy to get loans know this?


Shouldn’t they?


Shouldn’t you?

my response:
I consider myself a liberal/progressive on social issues but rather more moderate and conservative on fiscal/military/crime issues.
I believe gays should have the same rights as heteros and I would have incinerated charles manson.
I believe pot should be legal and we need a military strong enough to deter aggressive nations like Iran, Russia and China.
on cost of education:
Free would be nice but AFFORDABLE would be perfectly acceptable!
Unlike the typical conservative who enjoys a dark world of misery, pain and suffering (for everyone ELSE) I believe we could have a world where there was a lot less pain and suffering and a lot more liesure and enjoyment. With minor monetary adjustments this could be achieved. Affordable education is certainly something that would make a lot of peoples lives easier. There are many countries (democracies tinged with social programs) that provide free or affordable education and they are amongst the happiest nations in the world.
The military does it.
Many companies will pay for your education (if you work for them).
we already provide free education up to grade 12.......just go 4 years more....
My question to you: wy do you want to make education so expensive? why do you want people to suffer? do you hate people?



remember ....ann coulter said "we should shoot a few liberals....".....have you done your part yet?

8.And, even if you accept the loans and the debt…a college degree is far from a ‘get into the upper class’ card.


“ According to the Census Bureau and the American Community Survey, the following majors earn most among graduates: petroleum engineering; pharmaceutical science and administration; metallurgical engineering; mining and mineral engineering; chemical engineering; electrical engineering; aerospace engineering; mechanical engineering; computer engineering; and geological and geophysical engineering.


Who earns the least? Majors in family and consumer science; drama and theater arts; elementary education; theology; visual and performing arts; teacher education; social work; studio arts; human services and community organization; and early childhood education.


That means that directing high school students into liberal arts majors with promises of big bucks in their future is a lie—and subsidizing that lie with government dollars doesn’t make it any less of a lie.” Ben Shapiro: The real reason Democrats want free college tuition | Opinion


Will the government give you those loans no matter what you choose as your major?

You betcha’!!!
 
Society benefits from that free education, society pays for that free education

5. “It’s 2018 and Americans are more burdened by student loan debt than ever. In fact, the average student loan debt for Class of 2017 graduates was $39,400*, up six percent from the previous year.

… over $1.48 trillion in student loan debt, spread out among about 44 million borrowers. That’s about $620 billion more than the total U.S. credit card debt.” U.S. Student Loan Debt Statistics for 2018 | Student Loan Hero





Here’s the bottom line: the Left wasnt you going to college….and not for your benefit.

my response:
I consider myself a liberal/progressive on social issues but rather more moderate and conservative on fiscal/military/crime issues.
I believe gays should have the same rights as heteros and I would have incinerated charles manson.
I believe pot should be legal and we need a military strong enough to deter aggressive nations like Iran, Russia and China.
on cost of education:
Free would be nice but AFFORDABLE would be perfectly acceptable!
Unlike the typical conservative who enjoys a dark world of misery, pain and suffering (for everyone ELSE) I believe we could have a world where there was a lot less pain and suffering and a lot more liesure and enjoyment. With minor monetary adjustments this could be achieved. Affordable education is certainly something that would make a lot of peoples lives easier. There are many countries (democracies tinged with social programs) that provide free or affordable education and they are amongst the happiest nations in the world.
The military does it.
Many companies will pay for your education (if you work for them).
we already provide free education up to grade 12.......just go 4 years more....
My question to you: wy do you want to make education so expensive? why do you want people to suffer? do you hate people?



remember ....ann coulter said "we should shoot a few liberals....".....have you done your part yet?



You claimed I post lies....

...yet, still you can't find any.


Guess that makes you the liar.....oh...but you did admit to being a Liberal, so that would be redundant.

I said I was a liberal/progressive on social issues but much more moderate/conservative on fiscal/crime/military issues.......sometimes I feel rather sad that you are........the way you are.......sad.....You are so deranged that you can't see/hear/read or think clearly......



Well.....let's quote you from post #4...


"...she's been posting deranged lies..."



Clearly, as you've failed the challenge to find any such lies.....you are simply a lying low-life Liberal.....
...and we've proven it together.



BTW....I know your name....it's 'mud.'
