Thanks for posting, I was just going to. Great article about the big College swindle. A friend of mine is pay for THREE kids right now and he said he can’t do anymore, it’s absolutely insane the cost.
What a poltroon. She's her own worst enemy.
She’s right, unless it’s a high skilled career you’re wasting your money. I know so many young adults that are unemployed with degrees it’s insane.
We must understand that it costs a lot to keep those tenured professors with their six figure salaries hanging around doing nothing 99% of the time.
It’s shameful what so many once good schools have become.
Front groups for Marxist cultivation and indoctrination.
And the cost is a national scandal, a borderline criminal enterprise.
free is marxist for other people’s stuff.
Yeah the idea of college being for all is a disastrous fantasy that is leaving us with a nation full of people who can’t or won’t get their hands dirty doing the actual building and making.
College should be for the very best students to learn the cutting edge technologies and sciences. Instead those students have to swim upstream against an endless flow of students who should be in trade schools and apprenticeship programs.
The low-information voters don’t see money coming from the people, they see money coming from the state. So in their minds, anything from the state is free to them. Well it is if you don’t pay taxes. Maybe not free to you or me, but to those who don’t pay taxes it is.
Not just 6 figure but 7.....There’s a lot who are millionaires. These are the highest paid........

It's terrible how the white man is holding the black race down, isn't it?
If this “free” community college thing goes thru, I want my reparations! I worked full-time while attending community college, as well as the next couple of years at a university to complete my bachelors.

Good Article
I did it, my son did it.
I guess I just don't understand the entitlement generation.
Well I want a PONY!
When is Obama going to come out with his free pony program? The USA is the only industrialized nation not to provide free ponies to all citizens. Europeans think we’re savages, forcing our citizens to pay exorbitant prices for ponies or even to do without.
I’m serious Mr. President. I WANT MY PONY! NOW!!!
It’s not completely gone, but it’s certainly not as common place as it was when I was doing it back in the late 60’s.
