His reasoning was that no person should go broke because they want a higher education.  Is this guy for real?  I have rarely heard anything more ridiculous in my entire life.  Talk about socialism.

The reason some people aren’t attending college is not because of the costs.  They are not attending college because they don’t realize that it is critical to their future success.  They don’t realize how much easier life will be if they could only put for the effort to get an education.  If a person wants to go to a certain college that they can’t afford, it does not prevent them from going to college at all.  It merely prevents them from going to that college.  Ultimately, they decide to go to a less expensive one even if that means a community college. 

Face it.  These kids who choose not do go to college at all just don’t want to learn.  They don’t want to go to college.  If they did want to go, they could certainly afford it.  Any kid can afford to go to a school like ECC or GCC or MCC.  There is absolutely no reason they can’t.  These colleges will accept anyone with a GED.  All you have to do is graduate high school and you are in.

The problem is that these kids who skip college are not interested in learning.  They don’t have a thirst for the knowledge and skills that these higher learning institutions offer.  If they did want to go badly, there is nothing stopping them, including costs.

I am so sick of this argument about college costs.  Stop subsidizing the expensive schools.  Let the market decide how much a student is willing to pay for their higher education.  The whole idea of subsidizing college tuitions is counterproductive to maintaining a low cost of education.  This is basic economics people.  If the government quits paying for people’s college educations, the colleges are forced to find ways to deliver that education for less money.  This is how it is supposed to work.

The goal should not be to give people enough money to go to college.  The goal should be to let the market force colleges to make themselves affordable to students.  When the economy is booming tuitions could go up.  When the economy is suffering tuitions would go down.

Part of the reason our educations cost so much is because schools get funding from places other than the enrolled students.  This creates the perfect environment for a wasteful bloated bureaucracy.  Let the markets determine school tuitions.

If the government agrees to pick up the tab for educations at the end of 10 or 20 years, you are going to see an absolutely massive increase in tuition costs.  Pumping more money into colleges does not guarantee a better education.  We have proof of this in the public school system that has had funding increases since the beginning of time.  It is counterproductive.

Prestigious universities and community colleges alike are capable of delivering an absolutely outstanding education if and only if the students are there because they actually want to learn about what is being taught.  If they aren’t self motivated to learn what is being taught, then they come out of there with a substandard education.   

If you want to reduce the cost of education, stop sending kids there who don’t want to be there.  Stop handing colleges free money.  The more you give them, the more they will cry that they need even more.

The populist attitude around this country is that every kid should receive a free higher education and the government should see to it that they get one.  How about focusing on getting them to graduate high school first you fricken morons?  A college education is easily and readily attainable to any kid who wants it right now.

This time it is over healthcare.  The healthcare system reform being pushed by the Democrats calls for new taxes to fund the system.   The average American worker is going to pay these taxes with one exception.  If you belong to one of Obama’s favorite labor unions, you won’t have to pay it until 2018. 

Once again, political corruption runs rampant.  How could you call this anything but corruption?  It is absurd to suggest that one group of citizens be made exempt from these taxes because of union affiliation.  If this were truly about negotiated wages and benefits, then it would have to apply to every single worker in America regardless of union affiliation or not. 

Every single non-union American also works for a negotiated wage and benefit package.  It is called free market capitalism.  It is not a legalized form of organized crime that unions represent.  It is illegal to extort money from people if you do it in the traditional method.  But, apparently it is legal if you do it under the guise of a labor union.

Politicians will be politicians.  How could any decent person want to become part of this loathsome bunch of hypocrites?  These guys are power mongers hell bent on taking as much power away from us average citizens as they possibly can.  As far as I am concerned, we should fire all the sons of bitches.  I think we do a better job of governing ourselves on a local level than we do on a federal one.  Fire them all and return power back where it belongs.  It belongs in our hands, not theirs.

This Obama administration is over the top with this one.  Policies like this that are obviously cut along political lines will most certainly cause unrest among the people.  I am sick of it and I am sick of all the people who think that policies like this one are somehow good for this country.  They are not.  Open your eyes.  This man is not leading this country in the right direction.  He is dividing it more than ever.  This president is causing very deep wounds in the social fabric of this nation that will take a generation to heal from.  Vote him and his entire team of “we know what is good for you” politicians out of office.

These people who elected Obama were so worried about what other countries thought about the United States.  While they were so worried that someone in Europe might not like us anymore, they elected a man who is making us hate one another.   Let history paint Barack Obama as it should; the most divisive presidential failure in our lifetime.

Instead of focusing on putting people back to work, this administration along with the state governments keeps paying people not to work by extending their unemployment benefits.  In my opinion, if you are going to extend anyone’s unemployment benefits in this time period, you had better make sure they are doing something productive. 

These people could be doing government work while unemployed in the private sector.  I mean hell, if the government is going to keep sending them unemployment checks, shouldn’t taxpayers get something in return?  What are we getting in return right now?  I’ll tell you.

We are getting larger and larger deficits.  These deficits cost us taxpayers a crapload of money to pay back.  Remember, we pay these deficits back with interest, not just the principle.  The government is doing exactly what it has told its citizens not to do.  It is overspending.  Think about it.  The entire housing crisis was caused because people were borrowing too much money.  What the hell do you think the government is doing right now?

This debt is going to be a slowly tightening noose around the neck of the American economy for decades.  Yes decades.  Every year we are going to have to pay the interest on that debt until we pay the debt down.  When has the United States ever paid its debt down?  First you need a growing economy so you can tax it.  For every tax dollar you take out of the economy to pay foreign countries the debt we owe them, it is one less dollar that could have been spent domestically.  Doesn’t anyone get this?

After all of the money that has been spent to stop the deceleration of our economy, we still aren’t fundamentally any closer to paying off any of that debt.  In fact, taxpayers so far have gotten a zero return on investment.  If Obama had used this money to put people back to work as he originally promised, then at least our economic output could have been higher.  More people would be working and consumer confidence would be much higher.

What happened to the 4 million new jobs he promised us?  How many has he helped create so far?
