Just talked to my sister in Nevada.

[Patrick2]

She wants to go to Churchill College. She's 62 and retired. Many seniors want to go back to school and learn something new so they can get a job the are physically able to handle.

The college dropped it's senior discount this year. That means the cost just increased by a factor of "5". I'm going to pay for her college.

You see, government funding for the college was slashed. Republicans don't understand the benefits of education. Without an educated population, without research, innovation or technology, what would we be? What is the plan for the country without those things?

Give rich people tax cuts only goes so far. Then what?

With an educated populous the repugnicanT party would not exist. Neither would house trai....I mean mobile homes, nor Walmart.

So you're saying an uneducated populace (note spelling) elected obama.

 

[Zona]

She should have told them she is a illegal alien.

Or worse, a white male.

I can't find a Churchill College in the United States.

There's one in England. Maybe Deany is confused?

My guess is that he is full of shit. He should research his lies a little better.

The private schools available in Churchill County are: five private preschool and elementary schools, and one religious education school. Two schools of higher education are available in Churchill County; Western Nevada College and the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension Area Office in Churchill County. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is available on base at NAS Fallon. There are no DoD schools at NAS Fallon.

And oddly enough, neither is called Churchill College.

Just because the funds were slashed for this program does not mean republicans don't understand the benefits of education, that's quite a leap. Research, innovation and technology are not exactly at a standstill. If this was her desire, she should have started saving for this while she was still employed. I hope to heavens the plan for this country is cutting spending, decreasing our debt, stimulating the economy and getting folks back to work 'cause there are folks with an education and degrees who are out of work right now.

That's a valid attempt. Very valid.

Western Nevada College has senior discounts. Stated here.

The coop program is hardly "college" in the traditional sense and is absolutely not what the OP is talking about. A coop education center like this teaches specific course like Agriculture, Community Development, Horticulture and none of them lead to degrees. Here's a link to the University of Nevada's "Seniors CAN Program"

Plenty of programs for seniors out there. Churchill county is very close to Churchill College. I can see the...no....no I can't.

Republicans understand the benefits of education, they probably just want everyone to pay for it themselves. Ever think of that? No you haven't.

My father, aunt and uncle paid for their own education and I paid for mine. Everyone else can pay for their own as well.

Why should the US government pay for a college in the UK?

 

[daveman]

Rderp's absence in this thread is conspicuous.

 

[ShackledNation]

I am not sure attending college at that age is worth it, with all due respect. Education is a huge bubble right now. If your sister has skills her degree shouldn't matter. It would be wiser to take industry specific skills tests, such as computing tests. Much cheaper and shows you have skills.

 

[Zoom-boing]

So the senior discount is gone and you are paying for her college. You sister is getting a free ride. What a deal!

How's that College app coming along?

During the postwar years there was an implied social bargain.

The mega-rich were taxed at high rate and the money was invested into the middle class.

Money in middle class pockets meant that the capitalist had to innovate and add jobs in order to capture that money. This turned into the greatest economic engine in history.

Consequently, the middle class was able to send a generation of children to affordable government subsidized universities. America created the most powerful and productive middle class in history. The government investment in the middle class paid off.

Reagan bragged about our entitlement fed Middle Class during the cold war, saying that the average working American lived better than the Soviets.

Unfortunately, the Republicans convinced us to trade middle class programs for tax cuts to the wealthy. They said government didn't need to concern itself with affordable education, full employment, and rising living standards -- the market would take care of it.

When the money failed to trickle down; when the good jobs got shipped overseas, the American consumer had to make up for his wage & benefit stagnation with debt. Meanwhile, unprecedented capital went to the wealthy... but, tragically, they didn't invest the promised amount in the real economy. They didn't add solid jobs -- they ushered a transition to the no-benefit Walmart model. They "invested" in Washington (to secure the right to merge into too-big-to-fail behemoths, and to cut the middle class out of national prosperity by acquiring cheap 3rd world labor)... and, finally, they invested in speculative garbage. America got played. The profit motive created casino capitalism: the era of bubbles and phantom wealth was created. It was the worst of both worlds. The wealthy had more capital than could be productively invested in the real economy, while the middle class didn't have enough money to consume, therefore they required ever larger quantities of debt just to drive the domestic consumption economy. In short, Reaganomics, with its 30 year cycle of debt based consumption and leveraged speculation, was a disaster.

You might ask what the most tragic thing the wealthy did with all their extra capital.

They loaned it to the middle class at 18% interest. They loaned the middle class the very money which used to come in the form of benefits and wages. The credit industrial complex was born. The wealthy stopped paying workers enough to survive . . . and they handed them a credit card.

(we all know how that ended)

America swallowed poison in 1980

Rderp's a leftist. Charity begins at someone else's home, mandated by government and enforced with the threat of violence.

You're delusional.

Thje prosperity following WW2 was due to the FACT that the rest of the world had been bombed to rubble and the only untouched industrialized power left was the USA. When there is no competition, the only one standing can do pretty much whatever it wants to do and win.

As soon as competition started to rise in the world market, the American monopoly dissolved and that is was caused the stress on your supposed view of the world.

Reality is a good thing to consider when you are talking about real things.
