The refusal of folks to pay taxes to support their children’s future, in favor of their own current pleasures, is the real problem in higher education costing too much. “Conservatives” who REAL “Republicans” of the past would stomp into dust, have created our current problems. “Conservative” does NOT have to equal GREED, that is the work of “modern” folks who are NOT conservative, in any sense.
Reading over Eisenhower’s re-election materials, it is surprising that McCarthy didn’t attack him as “unAmerican” as well, but in those days, “war heroes” carried more weight with the public. Today’s true “war heroes” are stuck carrying the weight for an unappreciative nation. Veterans today face a much harder time getting education, or benefits they EARNED, because it might cost those who’ve actually earned NOTHING!
^Is there any irony in the fact that it was largely Jewish immigrants (former educators in Germany or occupied areas) who gave us the bomb in WW II, and GERMAN trained scientists who gave us “victory” in the space race??
or you get blessed with a democrat government like illinois, michigan, massachusetts, or california, with the associated annihilated economies of each.
i think you mean the chinese-american graduates, don’t you? or just plain chinese. u.s. kids are something like 83% on the undergrad bell curve since about 1990, aren’t they?
..Ha Ha funny is how the conservatives want us to vote like red necks then curse us because we’re dumb.The truth is conservatives hate everyone except those that tow the line and take pledges that their souls will always comform to the conservative cause.To them,thinking for yourself only gets you in trouble..and on their party’s sh*t list.No wonder they hate us liberals so much.Actual freedom is just too hard for them to take….

I’ll say it again. If we’re doing such a bad job, why do our graduates keep giving up money after they leave?
