Paying back a loan requires modest effort and short-term sacrifice.

Why not just vote in a socialist democrat and have the government
pick up the tab?

Great idea. Good thinking. It could work just like the GI bill after
WW2. The Feds took in 7 times as much as they paid to educate
returning soldiers from those people's additional tax payments over
their lifetimes. It was a terrific investment, with great ROI.



GIs who served our country earned the education. But we were discussing
a bunch of entitled, special, helicopter-parented kids.Â* Try to keep up,
lefty.


Sorry trumptard. I mistook you fopr a person who could actually think.

You don't think a few years of fighting the nazis or the japs was
worth more than 4 years of our average "everyone is a winner" high
school?


I think that an educated public benefits everyone. If you want people to
have good jobs and be productive members of our society, then you want
them to be educated, especially in the current high tech world.

If you prefer people who cannot find a job to support themselves, and
are therefore more likely to be stealing your stuff, then don't educate
them.

I would much rather live in a world of educated productive people.

I would rather live in a world where education actually addressed the
job market. A 4 year degree in art history is far less useful than
working as a helper for an HVAC company for a summer.
I really don't care if the guy pouring me coffee at Starbucks can
quote Shakespeare.
The problem is most of those "sit in the A/C and think" jobs are the
easiest to ship offshore. Your engineers and programmers can be in
Mumbai. Computers are eliminating most of the middle management jobs.
When IBM downsized, the first ones to go were in middle management and
administration.

If I had a kid in high school today I would be suggesting they learn a
trade.
