Idea is dumb as fck, but at least it's an idea

By far, the above is the most disingenuous, lazy, and mentally stunted argument you'll find in this thread.

Make the universities themselves responsible for the student loans they give.



Admissions and the courses available would see significant changes if that were to ever happen.

Which means it won't in our lifetime.

Why not support a Democrat policy if that’s your attitude? The whole point of conservatism is to push back against the left and federal control, and failing that to halt it, and failing that to slow it. If you are going to be thwarted anyway, you still want to start from a strong position that makes the other side bend to you. You don’t start out by sprinting out in front of them going their way

I’m not a Trump hater. The man had had some very good ideas. This isn’t one of them.

Trump is merely putting forth ideas for consideration and to spark further discussion. This isn’t a “final version” of the thing. That the Politico article frames it completely otherwise, and that some amongst us eat it up, is not very surprising. “Trump campaign officials said they have yet to decide who would run American Academy”…..lol.

Why do you think all the detail needs to be settled to understand that more government in more education is a shitty idea? Name the service provided by the federal government that is done well and not a shitload more expensive than it should be.

As for the whine about Trump ideas, you're simply wrong. Trump has good ideas - supercharging oil production, re-shoring critical materials production, there are more. But he consistently floats Lefty ideas (his social security fix, a wealth tax, others) and it's those ideas people you fantasize hating Trump say are stupid.

So your solution to our failing federal education program is to start a new federal education program?

This is typical big government left wing garbage . I’m not surprised you sycophants love it.

Have fun supporting this huckster.

He's not a Republican.

He's not a conservative.

And he's not my candidate.

Stupid idea with no Constitutional authority...

Not sure where he comes up with stuff like this....


Maybe from the Service Academis like Annapolis, West Point, etc?

I don't this would be called unconstitutional, which does not mean it is a solid idea.

Stfu you idiot!

I assume you like the indoctrination of citizens better with useless degrees that the American tax payers have to bail out because they hold no water and they have taught that student to be anti-American.

So let’s fix it with more government and more taxes. Brilliant.

Either you 1) you support more taxes and more government or 2) you don’t have anyway principles or independent thinking skills because you believe everything one man say to be gospel.

Either way it’s bad.

These posters that are begging to tax the endowments do not form this viewpoint on the principals of political physiology, they form them on spite and "we gon get dem" Why you ask? "Because I don't like them"

Their small gov principals fly out the window when the chance to antagonize a perceived enemy (Universities in this case) comes into view, and they turn into tax authoritarians.

Gotta admit this headline is pretty fun, just like how we were going to build a wall and Mexico was going to pay for it

If this gives people the opportunity to get a college education for free from a recognized institution, then I’m all for it.


Tennessee students already can get two years at a community college for free. The idea of the federal government taxing Vanderbilt, Lipscomb, and Belmont to create another opportunity for kids to get free college when they aren't using the opportunity they already have is sheer fricking stupidity.
