alright...
1) Every single time that the Federal Government decides to give more money for financial aid most colleges raise tuition rates. Although it looks nice on paper when it shows that colleges are becoming more affordable because of new types of aid... every few years there are complaints that college tuition has raised. Many colleges have so much money in things such as real estate investments and endowments that they don't have anything to do with it but waste money. I mean really, how can you explain tuition doubling and trippling since 1995 when incomes haven't doubled and tripled? Schools that cost 10,000 in 1995 cost 25,000 now. Colleges should not utilize the government financial aid as a hand out.. its simply another form of corporate welfare!
2) Yes this nation has primarily become the socialist institution that we fought so hard to prevent during the cold war. With handouts given everywhere it takes away peoples desires to achieve. The primary reason as to why communism didn't match up against capitalism.... people who receive things for free don't have the drive to do better.. DR's made the same amount of money as Janitors if they had the same situation.. i.e. no wife.. no children, etc.
3) You can blame the CEO's who take money...but honestly at least they had the drive to get to where they are.. lazy people simply sit down and complain about it. About how there lives suck.. This board is full of people who are actively trying to improve their situation and for this I applaud all the strivers here!
4) There are plenty of jobs in america that americans have been to spoiled to do. How is it that Immigrants can survive on these types of salaries but americans cant? The thing is that.. americans can survive but its the luxeries that we desire. Everyone wants the house and white picket fence but so many don't wants to work for it!
So do i love America.. YES! Do I think we should give more money for financial aid.. no... Do I think an education is a great thing? Yes. Do I feel that everyone should get it for free past HS? no.... If you really want it.. there is no reason why you can't work for it! Its all about earning it!
