It's kind of funny..
I guess Democratic point of view is, abortion is ok. Its kind of like this viewpoint from a non-human non-emotional standpoint, where a baby is just another number, and its ok, cause all you have to do is get pregnant again when you are ready...
and... on the flip side.. the republican viewpoint is more emotionally attached to human life... where yes a baby can come at unexpected times, but when it does, life goes on...
Not sure I buy this COLLEGE EDUCATION IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE with a baby argument..
A good family will have other mothers on hand,, mothers and grandparents to take care of a baby.. its a social network.. and they tend to join up with other mothers they make it all work very easily..
BUT..
I think that we came to a point in time where we also should evaluate the worth of a college education... and also some of the scams involved in it.
We all know we can get financial aid, and student loans when we need to..
These students loans some are subsidized and others are not...
Here is my big issues, with these banks...
From personal experience, they keep you in the dark on how much money you owe at any given time..
I never get like a monthly statement, that tells me exactly how much I owe, how much is subisidized, and how much is unsubsidized and how much interest grew on it..
This goes for the vast majority of other students, they are kept in complete dark..
and on top of that.. colleges work like corporations now, and will want to sell you more and more classes, and push on you more on more degrees or certificates you can get.. all this costs money... and they work closely with these banks.
In the end you get a bigger bill for college than probably anyone expected..
I strongly feel that college education just like any other market, going through cycles... recessionary cycles and booming cycles.
I feel that the last 10-15 years has been BOOM years for college, and that the prices of a degree have skyrocketed to such levels that people need to seriously question whether a 4 year degree or a masters degree at top colleges especially if the degree might be on some off the wall subject are even worth it anymore. These costs have been fueled by easy college credit, and greed in the education industry. These colleges and other schools have already spent all this money on various projects I'm sure... and when the time comes they'll be hurting and probably begging the govt to bail them out too... They're corrupt institutions, and no one should feel sorry for them, when the time comes when they cant make ends meet. Some are already complaining they can't keep sporting teams going .. like University of Arizona cutting their Wrestling team... only to be bailed out by some ex-wrestelers there and some rich donors...
Panhandling school... They'll beg for from the public gov't also before you know it. They know the public is dumb, and they know what notes to hit to make the public emotional and feel obligated to give them money.. It is a sick entitlement these places feel they have, they think it is ok to be irresponsible and rip-off their students, cause if they run into real trouble all they have to do is "panhandle" for money.
