lol at "cost of tax cuts". these people are straight retarded.
They fool lefties though.
Like when Bernie Sanders cried about how cheap his college education was… no one should dare realize that government intervention is what skyrocketed the costs, just like with epipens.
Many universities have a 1-to-1 (or close to it) ratio of administrators to student. That's where all the gender studies graduates go I assume. They don't want college to be actually cheap because that money goes to their supporters. They just want to force their enemies to pay for it at gunpoint.
Tax cuts are not a cost. They are not stealing as much of the money of the citizens.
They are if you consider everyone's money as belonging to you- which the federal government does. In their mind, the money that you earn and get to keep was a gift from them.
"Trump" tax cuts. Orange tax cuts bad. What we need is moar tax.
Estimated cost comes from a NYT article…
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Oh, wait, they're serious? Let me laugh even harder.
Debt forgiveness is a ridiculous band aid.
The real question is why is the overwhelmingly liberaloid education system in the US so fucking expensive in the first place?
The other replies answer why, but not how. And the answer is student loans themselves.
College used to be something you had to work for, even if the relative cost was lower. If you didn't have the money or didn't want to spend it, you didn't go. But today, everyone gets free money to waste on whatever degree they want. So in addition to an increase demand, you now have a situation where the average student can "afford" a lot more than they previously could. No one should be surprised that schools responded to this by raising the cost of tuition.
125k/year + bonuses for "diversity comissionners" and other administrative bloat such as paied Union positions that are just "management" fluff for the teachers advocacy group. Same problem for healthcare, except healthcare is full of massive corruption involving overcharging and discounts with insurance and pharma companies.
It's significantly less outrageous elsewhere, but still overpriced.
The 50% useless administrative board of my public university kept voting themselves thousands of dollars of "performance bonuses" despite failing to balance a budget. Fail at your job, get bonus anyway ( and the bonus means failing at your job harder ).
Reminds me of the bankers awarding themselves millions in bonus for doing a good job in 2008. The good job being begging governments for a bailout with taxpayers' money. They should have been thrown in jail.
Because when every dipshit high school graduate is guaranteed an unsecured loan for college the universities can charge whatever the fuck they want.
The explosion in college cost is directly due to the endless "free" money that gets dumped onto incoming freshmen. The problem is that it's not really money they're being given, it's debt.
But leftist faggots will never admit that's the case.
University professors tend to be well off. Affording them and their preferences costs a lot.
Your labor is preowned to pay others' debts.
It is mildly infuriating that my tax money funds the creation of this propaganda that is then broadcast to retarded sheep so that they vote to fund more of it.....
They did generate fake stats but I don't think this infographic is from the Department of Education at least. (unless @progressforthepeople is the DOE, in that case burn it down)
Thank God. Probably funded by Soros or some other fuck that has an inordinate influence in the government anyway though.
Wow, how many years of "free college" have we given Ukraine now?
before the government fucked around with it, it wasn't much of a problem.
I paid $16k for one year at a state college in 2005. How do they estimate cost of 1 year free tuition for everyone in the USA at so much less than their estimate of forgiving $10-$20k for qualifying debtors?
(I might even be thinking of community college, the state university was more...)
Because they're lying through their teeth?
While things obviously vary school to school and state to state, the average in-state tuition at the NY-wide SUNY system is (from this link $8810 per year, just with tuition and fees. That jumps up to $27,710 if you add in room and board, books, etc (which many student loan programs cover). State school costs will obviously vary state to state, but the UCLA system is noticeably more expensive than the SUNY system.
According to this link there were 19.7 million college students in the US in Fall 2020.
Therefore, giving all of them one year with just in-state tuition (no books, no room and board) at SUNY would cost $173.55 billion, or twice what they're projecting. Including room and board would bump that up to $545.89 billion.
And that's a state school with in-state tuition. Private 4-year schools average about $50k per semester I think. With that, then we're talking a trillion+ a year.
