She really needs to STFU

[DoughtyOne]

Wow! So bold!

I’ll bet she said that without reservation.

[Kiss7]

I see what you did there.
Very good.

[BenLurkin]

“Aren't letting it slide”?

As if rewarding deadbeats is something that should not be
criticized? Makes no sense.

[SlipperySlope99]

This isn’t the dunk Warren thinks it is, but I expect as much from a midwit like her. How about this question, why is college so damned expensive?

[kiryandil]

Mean Squaw scalpum Turtle.

[conservative98]

And Warren can spare us the lectures on what will be good for the economy. With a $67m net worth her economy will always be good.

[DannyTN]

Costs were cheaper 150 years ago.

I attended Gonzaga from 1972 - 1976. At that time, tuition and fees were 10-12K a year.

Now it's about 45-50K a year. Sounds about right.

For the same reason that healthcare is so expensive. Certain favored groups have almost limitless money thrown at them to spend on healthcare and college so hospitals and universities raise their prices in order to capture all the profit they can. It's the same thing that happened when they announced the $7500 electric vehicle credit the other day then GM and Ford raised their EV prices by almost the exact same amount.

So let the students find colleges that only charge 330 a year..

[cherry]

she needs to realize that most of average Americans born without a silver spoon in their mouths MUST look at low cost education.....parents can't afford the private schools or the famous schools....

how many kids start out at the local community college....plenty....to save money...

[rbg81]

Gee.....why is it so expensive now?? Let me think....

[LizzieD]

And you can bet that not a single professor/instructor at any level of that college McConnell went to pulled down the RIDICULOUS multi-hundred thousand dollar salary this IDIOT made while she spewed her bullshit at Harvard. Academia is a criminal scam, and she profited mightily from it (all while pretending to be Native American).

[heartwood]

The real question, Senator: why was college formerly so much less expensive?

[econjack]

You gotta remember that $330/yr was back when he bought his textbooks directly from Johannes Gutenberg himself, so things were a little less expensive then.

[Ken H]

You sure this isn’t from the Babylon Bee?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Higher education prices went through the roof when government stepped in to make it “affordable.”

[ProtectOurFreedom]

If you can’t afford a high-priced four-year college, go to your local community college. Or to a trade school. There is NOTHING sacrosanct about a four-year degree from a university.
