Just wait until Its Free
There is no such thing as a free lunch, someone has to pay for it.
The American socialist politicians are promising their voting constituents Free Stuff through such figures as Bernie Sanders, the politician from Vermont whose economic fortunes have improved drastically since he ran for president, and the socialist Cortez from the Bronx who, although she has a degree from a prestigious and very expensive school, does not know anything about Economics or geopolitics, by her own admission, and shows her lack of knowledge every time she opens her mouth.
I put forth that none of them understand, except for the few at the top, who will enrich themselves off the ignorance of the masses.
Orwell is Vindicated
It beats trying to pass freshman calculus. Which they cannot.
Who would not want to get paid to study for six years at the expense of taxpayers who foot the bill and willingly pay as much as 56% of their income so that their dwindling progeny can get a leisurely college degree?
A point I made to a recently graduated friend now in $20K of debt. Forgive that debt and place the burden on the taxpayers, he says. Congratulations, I sez, you're now a taxpayer.
Even while he was still a devout socialist Orwell was shocked at his contemporaries who felt that the means of production could be expropriated by the state without revolution. What he had to say about the Fabians, especially Shaw, was barely printable. Yes, you can certainly steal all the factories (and other "means of production" as well, such as Google and Microsoft) or you can have the State "pay" for them a dime on the dollar, take it or leave it, but the upshot is that the old owners could run them and the new ones can't. Hope that degree in Social Justice included a couple of courses on subsistence farming, because you're going to need them.
The government isn't involved. I have no problems with that. NYU is a great medical school, and they have extremely high standards.
Mark
Id say so.
