I agree. They always focus on using taxpayer money to pay for the tuition, but they don't focus on the fact that the costs are exorbitant. They're obviously on the receiving end of the money. I'm sure there are plenty of Republicans that make money off of education, since there are indeed Universities with large Republican student bodies. But, the fact remains that college educated Americans will tend to vote Democrat, as will immigrants and minorities, and that's kind of the deadlock that we're in. Republicans attack Democrats for "identity politics", which is a stupid argument. Both sides are playing the same game using minorities and immigrants as cornerstones of their political narratives with the only intention being to garner 51% of the electorate. But, the main card that both sides play is simply pointing fingers at the other side. The end result is that we're stuck in a democrato-republican fascist oligarchy. We do possess the power to destroy it, but we need to figure out how to stop buying into their rhetoric and figure out how to flip the whole thing upside down.D-train wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 4:49 pmTotally agree with that! But of course none of the Dems EVER bring up anything like cost controls for tuition or professor salaries. Have to keep their liberal indoctrination centers happy. Have evil Wall St. pay for it! Like Wall street has anything to do with it.
There is ONE Democratic candidate who has fresh ideas ready for 2020 and not stuck in the past....
As for reducing the cost of college, Yang suggested that the federal government incentivize schools to lower their administrator-to-student ratio and reduce tuition costs as a result.
“I would tie access to federal government loans to colleges getting their costs per student down and their admin-to-student ratio down and closer to levels that it was in previous decades,” he said.
At the same time, Yang vowed to ensure that the government doesn’t profit from student loan debt.
“Right now it’s actually something of a moneymaker for the government, which doesn’t make sense given that this is meant to be a service to us, the citizens of this country,” said Yang. “Profiting off the banks of citizens’ indebtedness is not a business the government should be in.”
