  1. They must be forced to accomodate more people in their educational system.

  2. yes, and ‘Big Books’ too

  3. I worked a full time job while I went to college full time. Thank God I have no college loans to pay off.

  4. Do you know what you can do with your “paper”

  5. heck ya…50,000 a year for edumacashun. dats not wright

  6. No way! Education is a good thing. Sometimes it is really boring but we have cases were it will help us in our life. (Hope I understood the question!)

  7. you obviously don’t have kids that are in college. It is nothing to joke about. If you did, you wouldn’t try and make a political joke out of it.

  8. Since Big Education’s profit percentage is huge compared to Big Oil’s profit percentage I would have to say yes!

  9. No. College is expensive, but there are scholarships, grants, financial aid, etc. that people can use to pay for it. If people will want to go to college they can make it work. It might take longer, it might take many years to pay off loans, and it might not always be easy, but it’s not a closed-academic world. If you want the best professors you have to pay more money. That’s based on a free-market. Doctor’s make a lot of money too, and if you want the best doctors you have to pay more. That’s the way it works.

  10. Nah, just keep raising the costs, and it seems college presidents are currently for a cost increase in tuition, until only the truly wealthy can afford it and the transformation of ‘free’ people to serfs will be complete.

    You know, that’s the problem with republican thinking, you guys mock the cost of everything getting out of hand, education, health care, energy costs, food, electricity, everything. You won’t find it so funny when your kids and grand kids all of a sudden find they can no longer afford to live in America.

  11. No way. That would cause a collapse of the entire economic structure. How would the colleges afford to have football and basketball teams? That would lead to ESPN not having anything to show and would be forced to only show imported Australian League Football or Cricket from the British Empire. Imagine if people quit playing football and took up rugby or stopped playing basketball to take up cricket. Our whole system would simply fall apart.
