Re: 2nd Term Part 5: Big Brotha
I was referring to your comments about interest rates. I'll go find them later tonight and repost them.
What I found funny was your continued practice of presuming you know everything AND you also can determine what other people know...and your basis for those presumptions is based on political leanings.
There is no less funding, and there is no indication a change in interest rates would do much to dissuade students from borrowing to attend college. If anything, the guy pointing out that kids likely don't even know what interest is probably isn't the guy who would subscribe to the interest rate freezing kids out of college.
And lastly, if you are now saying conservatives are trying to bring more of 'those people' into the country from other countries, I dare say that conflicts with other statements you've made about the tolerance of conservatives and their views on immigration (legal or otherwise).
I can only speak for myself, as a proponent of better education in the US I would be inclined to look into the mix and funding of international students in US colleges, especially as they may crowd out US students from the science and tech fields. I'd be more likely to provide direction to schools, who cannot live without federal grants on research and federal tuition grants etc, and put the same pressure on them I do on states when it comes to highway funding and speed limits/drunk driving programs that they better not sit on billions of dollars of endowments while getting huge research grants AND expect to be tax free if they are not supporting the cause.
Of course, I'm an independent so I don't have to worry about aggravating a huge political support network, aka the academia machine.
If this is one of the funniest things you've ever read, I respectfully suggest you get out of the house more. I thought conservatives were stiffs but this takes it to a whole new level!
If you have extensive knowledge of the college financing system, you might want to bring it to the forefront when you post because it ain't coming through from your comments.
Moving on, not sure what I'm supposed to be bitter about?Perhaps you have me confused with another poster.
Finallly though, I do notice once again a complete unwillingness out of our friends on the right to address supply and demand. IF you have less American college students via less funding, that gap will be filled due to high demand of overseas students to fill those spaces. Perhaps conservatism believes that this is a good thing, as the students who will not be able to afford college can then get lower wage jobs working for these now educated foreign professionals. If that is the mindset those on the right should own up to it.
