Obama announces more bailouts for student loam deadbeats

Education should be free.
It's an investment by a country in it's own future.

That would be (gasp) socialism. Republican policies are "every man for himself" and "let him die" and "Americans don't deserve shit". This generation isn't the same as those in the past.

They learn it in church....

we are all indentured servants to the bankers and finance companies..

Not all of us. Don't borrow.

.

You have never borrowed in your lifetime?

Once, long time ago. I learned my lesson.

Well I guess my old man the stock broker told me,"everybody borrows money" is a fallacy. He's eighty one but I'm sure he'll take the news with a shrug..

It would be a wise long-term investment.

College is a silly luxury for most people. They just party around for 4 years and now obama wants to take money from you and give it to them. Do we bail out yacht-owners who can't make their payments?

Well it seems you have no concept of the situation facing millenials so I will explain it to you.

Back in the day, baby boomers were able to get jobs and be trained at that job to do other tasks. Today that is rarely the case.

Today, to get a number of jobs, you need a college degree. Many of those jobs really don't require 4 years of additional education like salesman or insurance agent yet to get those jobs, you need one. Even trade jobs need a certificates to get at a technical college. You use to be able to go to the union hall, work as an apprentice and learn a trade. Now, you have to go to these high priced technical school, spend 30K to learn a trade that might only pay $15/hour to start.

So companies are looking for bachelor's degree graduates to where now you need an associates or bachelors degree to have a chance at a good paying job and even that doesn't guarantee you anything. So these kids don't have any other options but to go to school.

Then you have colleges raising tuition because of decreasing state funding and the fact that they know these kids need a degree to get a job. So they can jack up the rate with no standard to hold them to. Not a shock that colleges came out against a DOE standard ranking that ranks employment of graduates and salaries.

I understand the value of an education. People should strive to be more educated and the quest for knowledge should always be the goal of universities but right now, businesses are taking advantage of colleges for a job training center that they don't pay for and that wasn't what colleges and universities were created for. It was for the free exchange of ideas and to challenge yourself intellectually.

So to summarize. Rising tuition, lower amounts for scholarship/state funding and no true alternatives for young people have lead to the out of control costs of college which leads to high student loan debt. And people spending all their money on their student loans aren't going to be good for the economy because that could be money spend at other businesses.

You can't explain education to right wingnuts. First, they think it's all about "indoctrination". They almost ran a homophobe nutjob for the presidency. They believe science is a faith. They say that "demand" doesn't lead to jobs, which explains why their single economic policy is such a failure. They have no idea this country only runs on the backs of the educated. And, they are the laughing stock of the world because they believe the world is only thousands of years old.

You and your bull shit ASSumptions. You have no clue and yet you pretend you do. I figure you work in a glue factory and destroyed everyone of you brain cells.

Student loans are a banker sham, but I don't endorse bailing out fools. At the end of the day the only bailout will be the bankers. 50% of college grads aren't working in their degree anyway. The entire country is a sad ******* joke.

Your daddy is wrong. I have never borrowed money or bought anything on credit in my life. Millions of americans like me but the press has been ordered by the bankers never to talk about us.
