I wonder how many republicans drive German cars considering in Germany college education is free. Rush Limbaugh through his auto purchases pays for education in Germany, but then calls Americans entitled. Oh the irony. Below is a perfect example of republican values and their genuine feelings towards our veterans and our citizens.
āI donāt think veterans should necessarily have to work two or three jobs just to be able to afford to live while weāre going to school,ā Blessinger says. āI donāt have time to study. Some days, itās quite tough.ā
...
Blessinger says he dreams of a career in education reform, āworking with state governments, the federal government, to rewrite policy to make state higher education more accessible and more equitable.ā He planned to apply to a joint law and PhD program after finishing his MA ā but given his onerous debt, heās been reconsidering his options.
The three students thought that Ward, a conservative who is rumored to be considering a primary challenge to Senator John McCain, might be sympathetic to the plight of a struggling veteran. Thatās not how the meeting turned out, however. āShe actually was pretty rude to him,ā recalls Brooks, a fifth-year PhD student in second-language acquisition. According to all three students, Ward called Blessinger āentitledā and told him, āIf you donāt like being here, other states have different programs for vets, and maybe you should go there.ā
āShe called me an entitled little prick,ā says Blessinger, admittedly paraphrasing. āI work three jobs, plus I go to graduate school. Iām not sure how much more biting the bullet she wants me to do.ā (Ward, after initially agreeing to talk, didnāt respond to follow-up e-mails.)
Now it looks like Blessinger will have to bite the bullet even harder. When the legislature finally passed a budget, it didnāt cut $75 millionāit cut $99 million, including $28 million from the University of Arizona. Bruce Wheeler, assistant minority leader in Arizonaās House of Representatives, believes that the Republicans would like to do away with public education altogether. āIām absolutely convinced thatās their agenda,ā he says. āAt every level of public education, the Republican majority is undertaking to defund and privatize.ā
