“Free College Education!”
One of the mantras from the left, you hear it all of the time. Think about this…..millennial borrow ENORMOUS
amounts of money to get absolutely useless degrees (and, at the risk of pissing
off some or all of you, if the degree includes the words “studies”, you run a
good chance of being unemployable as well as unemployed….for the foreseeable future),
and are then all pissed off, and in debt, because the market for under-water
basket weavers has dried up.
Now, is this a government problem? A little bit.
I would like to think that the person of average intelligence does not
incur $250,000 in debt for a degree that qualifies them to get a job with a
starting salary of $30,000. The
government, through the decades old Guaranteed Student Loan program HAS enabled
the students that would. Are the schools
to blame? A little bit. Spurred by the guarantee that the loans would
be paid, colleges broadened not only their offerings, lowered standards (thus
enabling students with virtually NO history of academic achievement to attend),
and increased prices. But it is a cultural
problem as well; we are idiots.
If you read the article you may scratch your head and think
“If the problem is $1.5 Trillion in student loan debt, how does “free” college
tuition fix anything? Does that make the
plethora of useless sheepskin any more valuable? Does that make entry level jobs pay $75,000
as opposed to $35,000? The answer to all
of this is…..no.
In reality, there is no market for a significant number of these
degrees, and there will be none. The
left will never grasp that a graduate, trumpeting a “womens’ studies” degree is
marketable in nothing. And when there is
no market, there is no demand, there is no salary. Free (tax payer funded) access to something
of no value is as retarded as about everything else coming from the new left.
You see, the problem, from my perch is not the debt (which
is A problem), but US. We have to stop
doing stupid shit backed by a government prepared to do stupider shit to allow us
to do stupid shit. THIS IS INCREDIBLE
that we have caused this problem and the ONLY FRIGGING SOLUTION BEING PUT
FORWARD IS TO MAKE STUPID ABSOLUTELY FREE.
The government has been dicking up education in this nation
since Woodrow Wilson promulgated a system for those that would be useful to the
government, letting the rest of us pogues to fend for ourselves. I would say pass a law to keep the government
out of our education, but not only would the left object…….well they would
probably start a war over it. Even if we
said “Free Tuition”, guess who would dictate the curriculum?
You got it….the same ‘tards that put us in this position in
the first place. And they will tax your
ass TO DEATH to make “free” happen….for no return on the investment, and no
dent to the $1.5 Trillion.
We know that the current system doesn’t work, because we
are largely a nation of idiots…..do we REALLY think turning it over to the
people that screwed it up, to fix it is the solution?
“Free” college tuition is the solution…..to nothing.
