Not even in biology?

At any rate, PRAY that they don't forgive student loans. Anytime there is a bailout, a forgiveness, the dollars the rest of us hold lose some of their value.....and with that amount of debt out there, that would be a massive hit....to put it mildly.

Why is it that we should only do this for Wall Street?

Not saying of if we should do it or not.

What I am saying is that when it is done, peoples' dollars are devalued in the process. Mine, yours, everyone.

Here's a novel idea. How about people just pay for their own stuff?

I know. Such words come as a shock to the entitlement generation.

It's extortion outside of federal aid. At least forgive those who have loans outstanding for 5 year's. I know someone who graduated college and can't pay back the loan. Right now they are only paying the interest on the loan a month.

Nobody with an IQ of less than 150 should be admitted to college/university.

If we follow that rule, I'm fine with helping to pay for the roughly 100,000 students that we would have.

The remaining 24,900,000 can go to trade school -- which they should start after the eighth grade as apprentices so that they'll have a job when they turn 18.

What is wrong with college kids these days (this month)?

One moron was calling for textbooks, housing, etc. to be free as well, but one step and time so let's start with tuition.

Where exactly are colleges going to get the money so they can give "free" tuition for all?
You forgot the funniest part.... in one place 30 people showed up for the million student march!!
But counting is probably not what they learn in College these days.

Many school officials opened the doors for this behavior so expect more to come as the students are there for freebies and won't go as getting a job is now a day hard labor.

But this country needs like 10 million poetry majors and 20 million art history majors.
