On Martin Bashir’s Thursday MSNBC program, New York Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel said that no students should have to pay for college.

Rangel was reacting to President Barack Obama’s higher education proposal rollout that would put in place requirements for students and institutions to receive federal financial aid assistance.

Rangel explained to fill-in host Joy Reid that he support Obama’s plan, particularly the accountability components.

“I think it’s exciting, and certainly it’s going to bring in accountability,” he said. “You know, we have universities scattered all over the world. Sometimes you think that tuition means nothing to a large group of people who pay these enormous salaries to college presidents. But if you’re talking about production, if you’re talking about what is the college really giving someone that doesn’t want a worldwide education, they just want to be able to compete. This makes sense.”(continued)

So they just sit around and think up ideas to spend tax money?

[GeronL]

Spend money to buy votes.

I wonder if there are enough college graduates to compete for all the professional positions in African American Studies. /s

[DBrow]

I think this and cannabis legalization will be topics until the votes are counted in 2014.

Free stuff!

[Dr. Pritchett]

I hope they plan on giving my money back (even though I already paid like a dumbass).

[tumblindice]

And don’t forget Wymens’ and queer studies. It’s a brave new world for the communist organizers, dykes and faggots.

No problem, make a new Law that makes College Professors work for free, along with anyone in College Administration.

My company has a nice accountability system to encourage employees to seek advanced degrees. You have to get authorization for a course, pay for the course out of pocket and return with the report card at the end of the class. If you earned a satisfactory grade, you are reimbursed for the cost of the class. If you fail the class, you don't get paid. The net result is no cost to the student who is willing and able to perform. The value to the company is a better educated employee with more skills to bid on contracts. No taxpayer costs either.

[Digger]

No reason why Charlie should suffer *&%$#$&#&#*&#&*##*&$##&*#&*# & be left on a side road.

Like florists, cake decorators and wedding planners?

In my best Rangel voice:

“Hey Charles, what about dose dat aint yoots?”

[mylife]

“I think it’s exciting, and certainly it’s going to bring in accountability,”

Good Lord! what mumbo jumbo!

[43north]

I’m sure he was just referring to selected, protected minority and illegal invader students... Whites and Asians will have to pay full tuition.

Is Rangel getting Married?

So how do the tenured perfessors with the tweed jackets with leather elbow patches feel now that the Dems are turning on them?

[blackdog]

If you took all federal money away from universities, in loan, grant, or aid forms, tuition would drop 30% in two years. You keep filling the trough as fast as the pigs can eat, and the farmers just enlarge the herd and size of their troughs.

Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel said that no students should have to pay for college.

Colleges are no longer institutions of higher learning for most students and almost all professors.

[DakotaGator]

New York Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel said that no students should have to pay for college.

True. Representative Rangel should have to pay for it!

[mylife]

You missed it.
This is about “Health” school, I mean “Medical” School.

They want free tuition for our new healthcare thugs ie SEIU goons.

I was referring to all those folks being forced to do homomarriages whether they want to or not.
