Stuff like this makes me glad I never went to college.
It might also influence business to take over the training of many occupations.
You’ve posted a total of ten threads since joining FR in July, yet you haven’t posted a single reply.
Just so you know, that’s considered extremely bad form around here, and makes you suspicious in the eyes of many forum regulars.
bubble, bubble, bubble — it’s the student loan education bubble, funded and hyperinflated by our great society government.
Ron Paul is right —there’s a huge bubble in education cuz the brainless consumers have access to oodles of capital with NO WAY at all to liquidate that debt when the music stops and as PhD Basket Weavers they cannot find work.
It’s the academic equivalent of Mexican berry pickers buying million dollar homes.
Profs bash private biz as opportunistic slave-drivers taking advantage of kids, while that is EXACTLY what they themselves are doing.
More —if the kids hesitate to go round the self-intro circle “Hi I’m Mike, and I’m GAY” then their grade suffers —again no recourse. If you don’t answer an essay with the proper ideology then you’re downgraded and if you let out a peep then YOU are the unreasonable one.
Why don’t we bail out bank robbers?
That’s exactly what a lot of this “student loan” mess is.
They’re robbing the bank now and are unhappy that they’ve got this debt following them. Boo, boo, who.
Try being a fly on the wall and listen to some of these “students” discussing their techniques for getting the tuition money and how many days they have to attend class before they can drop out and keep most of the $$$. They’ve figured out early on how to get money without working. We are raising an entitlement minded bunch of bums... we’re not stealing from our grandchildren — they’re stealing from themselves.

Ron Paul is right about most things, not all but most things. He’s right about the inflated and artifical cost of education.
Wait until the other shoe drops and Paul reveals the REST of his plan.....to just GIVE everyone a college scholarship.
The more students can borrow, the more colleges can rake in the dough.
And all this excess cash flowing into colleges has fueled a kind of academic arms race: schools flush with cash vying with each other to contruct the most lavish facilities and hire the most prestigious professors.
What does paying a sports coach a million dollars a year have to do with a kid getting a good education???
If it puts lib “profs” in hotels cleaning toilets ( the only thing they are qualified for), I’ll vote for him yen times.
Paul loves to hear himself talk.
Can any one point to any success the 12 term congressman has had in any area?
