I haven't gotten any handouts. Sounds like you're projecting.

You think TOPS is a handout?

It's along the same lines of getting offended by anything that's not straight and/or white.

TOPS is unsustainable and should never have been enacted in the first place. The requirements for benefits were set much too low and are a total drain on the state budget.

While I tend to agree, cuts could have been made elsewhere or TOPS requirements could have been adjusted to make it a little more difficult to receive the benefits. The fact that the program is threatened to be cutout completely leads me to believe that this is no more than a political tactic by JBE

When Bernie Sanders proposes free college education - "Socialist! Too expensive! Worthless! Kids today need to work for what they want in life."

When JBE takes away free college education - "What!? My free education! He's ruining everything!"

I agree to an extent.

While TOPS is supposed to be a merit based reward, the requirements are far too low to where it has become a bit of a handout.

They don't need to cut TOPS completely. They just need to raise the requirements.

It's only socialism if it goes to someone else, especially the poor. Decades long subsidization of oil, for example, is considered capitalism.
TOPS to ACT 23s whose parents earn 200K is "an investment in the future"

I remember in my Calculus I class back when I was in college, the instructor was an older Japanese guy. For some reason one day that dude started complaining about how he gets more & more students who knows less & less and he ask the class.. You know why this happens? And wrote on the board TOPPS!

This tops debacle is the chickens coming home to roost with Edwin Edwards fricktarded state constitution.

It's the most amended constitution in the country with a ton of protected spending. It needs to be tossed out and rewritten. It's amended at least twice a year. The US constitution's last amendment was in the 1940s for comparison.

This temporary "handout" to students will lead to productive members of society.
