HUGE Shift in Race: Bernie Officially Our Frontrunner, for the First Time

Well done.

People won't admit it, but they chose to take on this debt.

I don’t disagree but the lenders also decided to take the risk. Personal bankruptcy should be an option the same way it is for any other form of unsecured debt.

HS Valedictorian from large public high school. That's a full freshman year tuition waiver right off the bat, and I still got full grants.

TEXAS Grant - $5,000 per year when I was in school (it's gone up since)
UNT Tuition Grant - $2,000 per semester
Federal Pell Grant - around $2,500 per semester
UNT Excellence Scholarship Grant - $4,000 per semester
Top 10% Scholarship Grant - $1,500 per semester

there were a few more smallish ones, but I never had to do the Stafford or Perkins loans crap

plus i was ing all the women in the admissions office and they cooked the books to help me out even more

[DarrinS]

how much was your annual tuition?

I'm guessing around 5k. I chose a school I could afford.

Rush Lipbalm.


His policies would die a quick death in the Senate, tbh.

so did Trumps

lol haha. nah I only actually ed one UNT staff member during my whole time there but she was a lowly geology TA getting her master's degree in the environmental science building. She was average looking, a few years older than me and a total nympho freak.

(no, we didn't do it IN the environmental science building, but it probably would have been better than her small apartment which stank of animals and she had 2 dogs, a cat, multiple rodents and an aquarium)

i think 2.5 mil in the bank is a waste of money. first of all, you'd be wise to have it in 10 different banks of 250k each. Just in case, ya know. But beyond that, 2.5m making next to nothing is a waste of money. Buy a big apartment complex and rent out all the units and profit over a million a year in rent.

I like cash tbqh especially since my business keeps making it

i will invest it when I get the time

i do hate the stock market sham so not gonna waste my time on that

i should just buy gold but I want physical gold and cant find anywhere where I can purchase gold bars I do hear you can puchase these in hong kong tbqh

Isn't this the Fed govt., for the most part?

spurstalk is the most affluent demographic in the US tbh

Remove the mass of sodium chloride and I'll give you an A for effort on this post.

The loans are federally backed to a certain extent but I don’t think it’s the government that’s making money on the interest payments. Im obviously not fully knowledgeable on how it works but iirc it’s a heads the lender wins tails the tax payer loses situation.

What I do know is that they’re not forgiveable in bankruptcy court which is the problem. Fix that and the market would take care of a big part of it and colleges would be forced to make it more affordable imo.

they were selling it when it was a total seller's market. Notice you don't see the rosland capital commercials etc. anymore.

meh most americans are for free medical services tbqh

free college is no big deal as well dont see too many americans who would heavily oppose this

sure Rush Lipbalm and other fat rednecks think this is the end of the world but most americans dont yhink like these morons

Most of the inbred boomer Trump supporters oppose free cuz they don't want any minorities to get assistance. If America was a white majority or ethnostate I guarantee you a lot of Trump supporters would have no issues with any social safety nets or socialism in general.

correct, Nazi party was socialistic amongst the Germans but at the expense of the jews

The anti-semitism came later on after years of successful national socialism. The Nazis are responsible for a lot of Germany’s infrastructure that’s still very prevalent today (ie the autobahn highway system).

Well, I would agree that it's irresponsible to be loaning college aged kids six-figure loans.

I definitely think something should be done to bring down tuition cost, but I don't think the solution is subsidizing through taxation.

The situation I have no sympathy for is the kid who took out 6 figures of student debt to go to private or out of state college. Go ing in state if you’re stretched that thin.

Federally regulating the price, add a cap on school board/staff income, and regulating the price of books. $200 for a cheaply made ing hardcover and 800 pieces of paper with text and scatted ordinary pictures, that's ridiculous.

yes, Or the kid who took out six figures of debt to major in cultural studies, arts and humanities etc. Music major without teacher certification, etc.

How are they going to make up that money in a reasonable amount of time??!?

There should be an online option to buy an e copy, the fact kids still have to spend a fortune on hard cover books is re ed.

Student unions should also go back to have meal plans rather than privatized food courts.

This is changing. My daughter has some classes with online books.

I remember that whole textbook thing being a scam. I would find the textbook in the library and keep checking it out. You always got ripped selling those things back.

ding ding

people taking loans to go to USC for 55k a year (undergrad) instead of going to UCLA or UC Irvine for 13k

or when processors add their own books to the reading list

this tbh... UCLA had both, and their cafetarias were great. but the residential side of campus was a pretty far walk from the lecture building area, which is where the private food courts were. since i commuted to school, it would have killed 30 minutes just to walk to/from the cafeterias between classes. and the plans werent that cheap unless you bought the full package which included 3 meals per day, something that i didnt need as a commuting student
