Frank, why do you think spiraling college costs and the associated crippling student loans are good? All the liberals are saying just the opposite.
Those who know the least, obey the best.High school diplomas are worthless because the left has destroyed public education.
Really? Who were the ones who insisted on expunging all references to Evolution from the science books?
Right wingers.
Who insisted on cutting funding to education?
Right wingers.
There's plenty of blame to go around.
Who insisted on medicating the shit out of kids with Ritalin?
Rightwingers
Public education is NOT about educating. It is about racketeering...government protects teachers unions and in turn the D party gets tons of campaign donations. Win/win.
again, if you ever got any education, it was a wasted effort.
There are a lot of problems with education. Part of it is because with the parents working four jobs, no one is making sure that kids are doing their homework.
The Left has run education down into the dirt. Even NYC Borough Presidents, who happen to be black, are decrying how horribly the inner city education system has become. It cheats their constituents children of a future, just as benefits the Democrat Party; that was their intent all along
We spent more money per student that any other country on the planet and it all goes to fund a sick, malevolent bureaucracy that practices intellectual pedophilia on school kids
This is the motto of the p-school system...Win/win for the state.
In the 2+2=5 Bizzaroland of Liberals we learn that having adult sign on for more home they can afford is evil and merits the death penalty but having young people just starting out in the world taking on more debt than they need to buy a starter home is, well, you tell me
Predatory lending is any lending practice that imposes unfair or abusive loan terms on a borrower. It is also any practice that convinces a borrower to accept unfair terms through deceptive, coercive, exploitative or unscrupulous actions for a loan that a borrower doesn't need, doesn't want or can't afford.
Obama is a Predatory Lender, right?
Why in the world are you trying to make this political? If you want to go there, liberals have been fighting against rising college costs for years, and that's one of the central themes of Bernie Sanders campaign,
Skyrocketing college costs is a moral issue, not a political one.

I think you need to move to Somalia, Libertarian Paradise.

Common Core and No Child Left behind were wonderful Republican ideas. How come you guys take no responsibility for your part in the mess?
Frank's usually "Obama Shot My Dog" posting aside, there are some valid issues here.
The first is that because our business world has made a college degree a requisite for making anything near a living a wage, then it should be accessible to everyone.
The problem is, of course, is that we really don't need a college degree for most jobs. Business wants bachelor's degrees because HS Diplomas have become meaningless.
I knew Bush was a lying scumbag as soon as he passed the chance to not only dismantle public education but let that fat fucking murderer Kennedy write the No Child Left Behind Bill
Oh my little Silly Jilly is up an about this morning...how wonderful.Frank, why do you think spiraling college costs and the associated crippling student loans are good? All the liberals are saying just the opposite.
frank is a good guy. he just finds the whole concept of government keeping lende

those who know the least post the garbage you do.
i love how rightwingnuts hate education. you really should stop being angry and resentful and just go to school and do something with your life.
That's not even true. Those who work in the trades can make a livable wage, a more than livable wage.
Before Clinton there were jobs at the mills where those with the inability or drive to become educated could earn a decent living. Those all dried up and went overseas, just as Perot predicted.

Maybe it's a bit disingenuous to associate some crazy fundamentalist christian whacko with all of that of right wing. Wasn't it a CONSERVATIVE judge that ruled creationism complete bullshit?
When was this an issue anyway? 10 years ago? Maybe speed up to this millennia, when the Marxist indoctrination is your enemy. Nobody even cares about evolution in the first place, it's inconsequential. At best amounting to one or two classes in high school...
These people spend 5 years in college coming out dumber than they went in, with a huge amount of debt to boot. Completely indoctrinated to a regressive ideology full of racism and falsehoods... And yet, you whine about an inconsequential evolution debate that took place about a decade ago, and was completely solved by a conservative judge. Too bad evolution didn't work for your brain...

That is interesting. How have the liberals been fighting against rising college costs? I see nothing that is even close to trying to restrict college tuition increases. Even in a bad economy the cost just keeps escalating way above inflation.
No, what I see is that the liberal left is trying to not restrain cost increases but to get someone else to pay for those increases.j
Free ain't free and if they make college education free without restraint I don't think we will be able to afford it.
Here is an article that has a lot of information. Their conclusion as to why the price of college has risen well above that of inflation is BS, in my opinion. What they call the reason is nothing more than cost shifting.
The real reasons a college degree costs so much

Except the debate wasn't had a decade ago.
What ended up happening is that because Texas is the largest buyer of school textbooks, the textbook companies wrote books that would sell in the Texas market. It means no mention of evolution, no critical look at American history...
Texas is literally making the whole country dumber.

Hmmm... you might have a point. Did you read this part of the article?
The reason, say researchers, is that deep budget cuts in state funding for public higher education and shrinking subsidies at private schools have pushed a greater share of the cost onto students and their families.

You should recall the argument:
"It ain't working because there isn't enough tax payer funding" - the regressive answer to every question in life.

I have seen very little posted that actually explains where that money is going. Subsidizes certainly are driving the price increase as I posted.

Happy to help you with that:
Federal Education Spending, Fiscal Year 2015 ($ billions)
Dept. of Education: Appropriation: 67.1
Dept. of Education: Mandatory (excludes student loans): 9.9
School Nutrition Programs: 16.5
Head Start Programs: 8.6
Education Tax Expenditures for Individuals: 21.2
American Opportunity Tax Credit (Refundable): 5.9
Student Loan Subsidies (Newly Disbursed Loans): 8
Veterans and Servicemembers Education Benefits: 16.4
Total 153.6
By far the biggest role they play is guaranteeing the loans (not in the chart, as that is not spending).
