Yeah. The reason they’re doing that is because of the defense budget and all of the innovation that comes along with it. I think there were something like 13 Christian pages on Facebook spreading misinformation and, when the company tracked the source, all 13 were based out of troll farms in Macedonia. LMAO.
What? Where do you get this from?
I am referencing an actual MIT study. That 140 million is a real figure:
“This is not normal. This is not healthy.”

It still remains that Russia and China are waging their wars on us in different realms, e.g., the Gerasimov doctrine.
And we are still hemmoraging money on F-22's that absolutely will not see combat with a first world country, only some ****hole that Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, et al., will push Congress to wage war on, when they feel that their market value has dropped too low.
As for America being a “first world ****h0le,” why are you still here? You have money. Why not move to Denmark or Switzerland? Seems like you’d be much happier there.
Not the first time you've brought up this tired old republican rejoinder and I've answered it a couple times before. Since you've asked it yet again, I can only conclude that you're just posturing.
??? There are tons of articles about it. You’re not seeing it because you don’t want to. Why would tuition costs remain static if supply is finite and demand goes up because of the federal government’s predatory lending processes to 18 year old kids right out of high school? If you don’t want to trust an article, that’s fine. Look at when tuition costs began to skyrocket then when the federal government got involved in student loans. Not that hard to see the correlation unless you don’t want to.
Yes the government is responsible for issuing predatory loans.
As far as I know, they are not behind the skyrocketing rise in tuition fees. But you may change my mind if you present compelling evidence or argument.
It’s not BS at all. Most people in this country are soft and don’t care to work anymore. This is on display whenever the “free” college conversation comes about. I just posted a link about Fortune 500 companies that offer anything from tuition assistance to full-on reimbursement. If you go to work for the local or state governments in many states, they do as well after a probationary period. Why? Because there are benefits to educating your employees and then “farming” them in-house. The rub? You have to work hard to get your degree, take night classes, sacrifice some of your weekends, and it generally takes longer since most don’t have the time to go to school and work full time.
Even still, kids choose to sign on the dotted line for the equivalent of a mortgage payment with a sky high interest rate to graduate in four years. They do that because it’s the path of least resistance. I had that choice. Didn’t feel like paying student loans off for 10+ years at $800-$1,000 a month and opted to take longer, work, grow in my company, and learn. Sucked while I was doing it, but I’m completely debt free and pulling in six figures per year.
How is signing up for a predatory loan "the path of least resistance"? Seems to me that it's the exact opposite. Those kids are out of high school and they need a job asap.. can't have a job without a college degree, can't have a college degree without a job. That's the definition of being screwed to me.
What economy in the world ISN’T rigged? What relevance does this have to the conversation of giving the government more non-transparent control over our tax dollars so everyone can go to college when the government created the high tuition problem in the first place? I’m failing to see how this isn’t a red herring.
Government itself is not an enemy, it's a tool, it's a structure. What makes government good or bad are the people running it. Simple as that.
