Universities existed in the USA before the Government existed or began to fund them. Capitalist Rich people built the first Universities and many more since then.Unreal. Yes we should pull every last dollar out of universities so our kids have nowhere to study math and science. Then everyone can work in a factory for $15 an hour and darnit they should be thankful for that job and that so generous pay. Give it to the private firms, the ones who will hire people and pay them a massive salary like $15 an hour. Everyone wins right? Perhaps its time to swallow our American pride and watch how the Finns do it. They value education, we have ALOT of people who don't.
We don't need to send our kids to your crappy liberal run government universities that will put each student in debt over a $100,000.
Thus far, Wind and Solar Research is a 100% failure, otherwise we would not have to spend over $36 trillion undisputed dollars, think this government run program won't go over the projected budget?
Well, the only part of that rant that was the right was first two sentences, with a caveat. Those capitalist rich people were also liberals in training, and in at least one case, a socialist (in practice, if not in name). Liberal arts schools teach a liberal education, and always have. You didn't know this? Huh. But the word liberal in this instance doesn't mean what you think it means. A liberal education is "an education based primarily on the liberal arts, emphasizing the development of intellectual abilities as opposed to the acquisition of professional skills" (dictionary.com). Now, if you have a problem with our citizens attaining intellectual skills, I really have to ask what is your objection? Do you wish our students to all be complete idiots so they can more easily be preyed upon by others? Or are you simply jealous? What's the beef?
