You know, I’d like to buy one of those GT500 Shelbys. It’s only $41,000.00. Do you think Barry and Joe would buy me one?

After all, owning the car you want is a right in America, isn’t it?

Don’t you know? Everyone has the “right” to an education! Along with a “right” to health care, a “right” to housing, a “right” to a job (though, if you have a “right” to take all these other things, what would you possibly want with a job???).

Will they have to pay the cost back though? That’s the big question.

America needs more people to go to trade schools and learn something actually constructive and highly useful.

We have too many “students” in college already who don’t belong there. And if we don’t graduate a single person from Law School for 20 years the country won’t be harmed in the least.

The corollary to this is that if you do have the money, you’ll have none left over.

And, if this policy is implemented,

a college education / diploma

becomes worthless.

There is a reason that some things in life are hard, and only a few achieve in those areas - because those achievements are supposed to show how you’re BETTER than those who don’t achieve them.

Don’t forget the newest “right” - right to information via the internet.

“Will they have to pay the cost back though?”

####

Only if their parents have actually sacrificed and saved over the years for their education, will they have to pay it back.

If their parents instead immediately blew any extraneous household cash on the gambling boat every weekend, no repayment will be necessary.

Welcome to the diseased world of federally subsidized higher education.

And admission standards will be lowered even further so that you'll qualify for most any university.

You live in Massachusetts? I understand cars are free there.
