Obama announcing an expansion on student debt relief

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Oh yeah. Come to think of it, why aren't we all millionaires?

Weimar Republic redux why not?

I agree...but then find a way to keep tuition rates from going up every year and, instead, make them go down significantly. The burden needs to be put more on the institutions than the students.

Start declining loans and the costs will drop. Loans feed the beast. Getting a big ass loan that you know you wont be able to pay off to pursue a soft science is a bad idea all around. Unless your parents can foot that bill...there's no reason to saddle yourself with that kind of debt.

In a perfect world that makes sense (accounting and finance reasons)...but I dont think that would be enough to make Uni's lower tuition significantly. If anything, it'll give them more confidence in the rates they currently have because itll be easier for students to "pay" it.

It'd be a process for sure, but the solution surely isnt just handing out money. It never is.

Sorry, that's just ignorant.

I could fukk your entire world view up if you really want me to.

But lets just agree to understand that you seem to want to equate a hobby with a skill that engenders value in a market.

how about we fukking divert the 500 billion in tax dollars we spend on defense (imperialism) to giving our nation free education?

1. Defense spending needs to be high. We can DEFINITELY cut though.

2. The government just can't shift dollars and get the same impact. Education isn't something MONEY just fixes innately.

We are cutting off our legs at the knees as a country by not subsidizing higher education more than we already do. We are pinching pennies instead of heavily investing in our workforce. A country as wealthy as America, should not be saddling its young with 10s of thousands in loans just to attain a degree, especially in an economy that constantly requires higher and higher levels of education just to get a decent paying job.

This is going to come to bite us in the ass in years to come.

We need to subsidize SOME types of education.

*cough* STEM *cough*

I think thats the convo we need to be having.

I don't want excuses. I want my tax dollars to go to funding free public colleges and the professors salaries. You act like it's going to cost a trillion dollars to send everyone to college for free. Cut defense by 15% and you'd most likely have enough. If countries of lesser stature can PAY their citizens to go to college at the very least we can make it free for our citizens of this country.

Why do you think institutions charge so much?

Think critically about this.

HINT: Think student loans

OK. So ask for higher taxes. Cause we pay some of the least taxes of any of these countries you're championing.

Stop offering easy loans to everyone and this problem goes away too.

Dudes are showing their age on these topics.

NO sense of nuance what-so-ever.

Its more complex than just "taking X amount of dollars and putting it in Y place." shyt is ridiculous.
