Affordability of College - Issue?

[Bo D]

I was just utilizing the opportunity to blast back what you guys have been throwing at me for years........the heritage foundation is one I will ALWAYS rely on for a conservative opinion....so, I'm not sure if I'm a goose or a gander. You pick.

It wasn't you, it was your friend 'me' And in that case I will remember that the next time she starts blathering away. The Heritage Foundation is nothing more than a corporate mouthpiece.

trying to garner college votes for november.

It has come to this for all parties involved. But what is important is what they do to us while they are fishing for votes.

The Republicans would kill the preventative health and cancer screening program.

The Democrats would stop the rich from playing an end run on the tax code to get out of paying Social Security and Medicare taxes.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Every single human being in the U.S. would benefit from preventative health and cancer screening. Do you really want to take that away?

S corporations are nothing but a tax loophole; portraying this as an attack on small business when that small business is likely no more than a sole proprietor who should be paying income taxes on all of his income (like I had to) is a joke.

  John McCain's wife is pulling that tax con.  Anything to get out of paying taxes and cheat the government.

Hank, while you're here ... have you had a chance to think about this?

olias, I don't think any of the proposals are going to happen.  I think both sides are playing games.  I need to know more about everything involved with the repubs proposal of cutting into the health care....
the bottom line is the deal is dead for now....and they WILL end up keeping the student loans where they are.
I do know that things are not always as the seem to be....the media lets you know as much as they want you too...

Lets let this play out a little further before we get too excited either way...

I still think it is all a bs, political move, and the dems are not only wanting what is best for students, they want VOTES.

They are playing games with the future of our children.

Speaking of playing games, did anyone hear what Nancy Pelosi said about Obama's announcement of 'support' for gay marriage? .....

"It was moving, it was historic, and it was a great day for our country."

Give me a break.

  It has been proved over and over that the Republicans will do anything, take health care, take money way from public schools, take money from college students, take money from Planned Parenthood and beat up and bully gays.  Too keep from taxing the richest of the rich.   

  Political, YES.  The Republicans want to kill the middle class.  It's a proven fact.

I say it is much ado about nothing...as far as Obama's remarks.

  I got to say this, the Republicans are all out to keep the middle class and the poor out of college so their dumbass children (George W.) can go to college.  That also keeps them from spending the money to buy their kid in.  (George W.)     George W. Bush the worst president America has ever had and he has a degree from Yale.   

  All so if  you look at what the Republicans are up to, they are wanting to cut head start, school lunches, food stamps, children health insurance and on and on and on. 

  When are the dumbass people who vote Republican going to wake up.

Soon only the rich 1%ers will be able to afford college; the next milestone in the dumbing down of the 99% in order to further oppress them.

[Henry Hawk]

can you say....Propaganda?

[Palehorse]

Can you say delusional?

The cost of attending college has risen nearly three times the rate of the cost of living, and could eventually put higher education out of reach for most Americans. . .
