The federal govt shouldnt be loaning money for ANY undergrad degrees

This I can agree with. I think by and large our tax dollars would be much better spent elsewhere. It’s the targeting of a specific variety of degrees, and saying the federal government will only pay for it if you take the degrees that we think are valuable, that is stupid

Are you stupid enough to think Trump is going to stop loans to law students?

Agreed.
This would create a large hurdle on law enforcement as well.

As do I. That doesn’t mean I think the government should confiscate wealth from others to provide for them. Certainly not in perpetuity.

Yea man I’m the guy parroting talking points, not the one trying to play off the situation in Iran as somehow being in alignment with Trump’s campaign promises


You bemoan the “war” in Iran, but cannot articulate a single thing about it. Just OMB. You’re a useful idiot.

The universities should be on the hook for all or a large portion of these loans if they are not paid back, not taxpayers.


Ah, no, the people who took out the loans should be on the hook for them.

This effort to blame colleges for the choices of individual students is the stupidest fricking populist whiney victimhood nonsense I have ever seen and I don't understand why it's so popular.

If the university promised to teach a student XYZ and then they did it without making fraudulent claims about what that would get them, they've fulfilled their responsibility in the equation.

Your right to life is actually a right not to be killed unjustifiably. If someone has a right to food, that means that he has a right to compel someone to produce and deliver the food. Ie. slaves.

It would be a good step.

Only if (and I am not saying that you are) if a person wants to see fewer law enforcement.
Many precincts require a police officer to have some form of law degree, in order to be a police officer.

He should slash those law degrees. We have too many of them as it is and they are a detriment to the nation.

The vast majority of politicians are lawyers thats two strikes. Very few judges are worth a damn and thats Strike Three.

Shutter the law schools for a quarter century and let attrition bring them down to useful numbers.

He missed a few dozen more. If you cant afford college go get an actual job. Its not the taxpayers responsibility to pay for your lazy rear end to play with yourself for 4-8 years of whatever passes for higher learning these days.

College is known in many circles as the highest beer tab you can run up.
As for getting a job. Pick a profession and an employer that will help school the employee.
Or.. oh hell... Maybe go serve the country in the military.

Really?

How’s all that free money Trump has promised going?

How about those no new wars?

Cheaper gas?

Cheaper groceries?

Where’s your “peace president”?

Some nerve talking about useful idiots




The same overused CnP criticism talking points.
This is how you say you're a tool of the Dems without saying that you're a tool of the Dems.

Economics is a science not an art. There should not be any B.A. in Economics. Either you're smart enough for a B.S. in Econ or you choose another major.
