re: John Oliver Goes Hard on Student Loans Forgiveness: LSU and LA College Funding Addressed
Posted by SECretariat on 3/21/24 at 3:53 pm
It's partly because the republicans think that the "paying for someone else's liberal arts" degree polls well... when in reality a majority of their constituents' children are also in the same boat and just as concerned.
Like the boarder crisis... status quo is unsustainable, but all the politici...

You missed the part of the video where people have already paid back more than double the initial loan because of capitalized interest. The taxpayers didn't pay for their degree -- they did -- but they got caught up with a loan shark in the process....

No doubt the issue stems from Universities finding a way to spend the unlimited stream of income instead of keeping tuition consistent. Tuition almost needs to be capped and public universities will be forced to prioritize funding rather than relying on increased loans to offset.
The LSU UREC is...

well said lsugorilla!
Sleep is sooooo important as well. Alcohol in successive nights can hinder quality sleep. If you need to take a unisom early instead of drinking (if you are doing that), you'll pass out the same but feel a million times better in the morning. ...

Loans locked in at 8.5% interest for the last decade while the interest rates were at rock bottom was totally fair. It's absurd that don't offer an option to refinance at what people are currently borrowing at after a certain period of paying on time. ...

Even connecting this to the golf course is just for headlines, from the video it looks like it's by the duck feeding area. There's a sidewalk and metal bar that keeps things separate. I guess you could be bored while teeing off on 5 and glance over there, b...

Similar advice as everyone else, get an idea of what to buy ahead of time. I think some things sell out through the week. The best souvenir "deal" is the $12 coffee cup. It's an awesome mug.
