No sacrifice is too great to keep the rich from paying their fair share in taxes.Public universities used to be very cheap or free basically. And that depended on federal and state aid obviously. When you cut taxes you cut federal and state aid duh.Republicans have been going after public universities ever since Reagan was governor of California. What do you think happened after they cut taxes on the rich 50%?I'm sure the GOP making college and training as expensive as possible had nothing to do with it. Or the crap minimum wage... In general I mean. Not your freedom fighting potheads fighting law & order GOP America.Sure it is.
Walmart to hire hundreds of truck drivers, raise salary to nearly $90,000
The problem is not that jobs don't pay enough, the problem is people don't want to put the effort into securing those jobs. Many people opt for lower paying jobs to avoid conflict with their recreational drug usage. I should know, two of my former tenants did exactly that. They lived here for seven years working fast food restaurants because they couldn't pass a drug test to get a real job. They were quite happy when they left and moved somewhere else.
You can lead a horse to water...........
You're a stupid troll. Republicans have nothing to do with college costs. It's your lying leftists who are secret happy capitalists that did it. Most of these colleges are leftist operated. Republicans don't tell them what to charge.
It's the Republicans who have been promoting trade schools over college, to the outrage of leftists who now cry Republicans don't want people to be educated. It's right-leaning news outlets that allow you to read their material without charge. Many leftist outlets like NYT and Washington Post now have paywalls. Typical capitalists who want their money up front to stay in the 1%.
Minimum wage has nothing to do with college costs.
WTF does cutting taxes have to do with liberal college costs?
Let me explain this to you so even a fake retired school teacher can understand: Colleges are like any other business. Their price fluctuates with supply and demand. The more demand and less supply, the higher the cost of something.
When the government took over school loans, they gave loans to just about anybody. So what were the results? Higher demand. We've had (and still have) more kids going to college than ever before; 20 million to be accurate.
So what's the liberal solution to this problem? Free college and triple the amount of kids going to college. Don't worry about the cost, we are just going to make the rich pay these hundreds of billions of dollars.
