Last Week Tonight - Student Loans
JBE blames the Louisiana Constitution.
Oliver makes fun of the LSU Lazy River.

John Oliver is a woke mouth piece. I didn't click the link.... he may be spot on, but I can't stand him long enough to find out.

I'm watching now, he's already showed a video that is bullshite unless the woman somehow got a compounding interest student loan.

Most people don’t know that they named it in honor of George Floyd

His video on Boeing was pretty good

Oliver is very smug. Hard to watch but I will.

Student loan forgiveness makes me irrationally angry. Why not drop the interest rate to 1% instead of forgiving the whole damn thing.

And there he is, F King Alexander. Front and center.
The man who cared more about politics and the “political ecology” of the university than what was best for it.
Playing both sides as always. Making the hard decisions on one side and playing the victim on another.
He’s like a prostitute that will charge you double on Tuesday, then claim they were raped on Thursday because the money’s all gone already.
The real monsters are always in the courtyard getting the story “right” when the world arrives to care.
Jindal was no paragon either. But at least accountability was finally forced on a sham.

One beef that was missing in the JBE part was that a number of LSU students are TOPS eligible and LSU is still getting funding from the state.

Since we've been told that student loans are so burdensome and predatory on our yutes, why not eliminate them altogether?

People love to hammer the LSU Lazy River… but calling out LSU for being needlessly expensive to students is more than a bit disingenuous. The truth is LSU is pretty cheap compared to most universities and TOPS covers a large portion of students.
Lumping LSU in with schools that charge exorbitant tuition isn’t right. LSU has been named in the past as one of the best values in higher ed, not a school that requires backbreaking loans.

And the LSU student body voted on the expansion and then paid for it through and increase in our fee bill from $135/semester to $200/semester for a really nice facility.

The piece is amusing, but it gets the history wrong.
F. King should get plenty of blame, not credit, but the real source of slashing funding for public education is Bobby Jindal. And he did it in a BIG way.
Like him or not, JBE did make Constitutionally mandated cuts, but he also sought to restore some of the Jindal cuts.

Who needs facts right?
Or that a study was done at the time and found LSU's student experience was ranked near dead last in the SEC, hence the UREC upgrades.
