Hey WAR--who paid for YOUR education.

Go back and read the post he made on it. He is just testing you guys like Pork stated and proving a point at the same time.

Hope to wet a line today but like a Wiseman said "Hope is for fools."

A friend of mine didn’t refer to the tax’s payed to the county as “property taxes.” He told me one time he was going to the court house to pay his house ransom tax.

If you have Township/ local police your taxes will be higher than if you have State police.

I’m pretty confident that you fully support public education as you seem to support most publicly funded services

 
wonder if he'd join me in advocating to fund higher education (for the high achieving brainiacs ONLY) 
Meaning not all get it provided. Just the ones that excel in fields like science and engineering.
 
 
I think some of the commie countries do that?

Not sure what MyWar’s opinion is on that.

But I have shared my views on secondary education. Whether it is trade school, university or other. They should be low cost or possibly free for any degrees/certificates that lead to either in demand employment, including mechanics, electricians, plumbers, any of the stem professions, business, tech, etc. that are jobs not “dreams”. Also to those “on the public dime” positions that are an extreme benefit to society, like police, teachers, fire fighters and other public servants. Whether the tuition itself is subsidized or the loan program is expanded to have far more available with interest rates capped and not compounding while in school (for a reasonable time). Tuition has far outpaced inflation. But yet the federal student loan limit has barely moved. 30 years ago, you could cover a 4 year degree with federal student loans only. Now, 4 years worth of available loan amounts cover about 1 year at most schools, with either private loans or families covering the remainder. Some states are much better than others with instate tuition, PSU and Pitt are about the same for one year in state as the Federal student loan limit for 4 years.

Basically, if your family is not wealthy or poor, you are going to be $120k + in debt, with only about $30k of that being federal loans. Neither PSU or Pitt offer very much in merit scholarships as well. Both top out around $5k per year.

Edit - Students would need to test into programs and have to maintain certain GPA or other standing. Not just saying to have “free 4 years of partying”. Talking about educating the future workforce, so we are the best and brightest. Not just those that can afford it.

Gee I wonder how many kids could afford to go to college if the college use their endowments which is in billions. Lots more could go if college coaches didn't make millions of dollars and even more could go if used the money they may for kids that can run fast or catch a football or whatever their sport is.Maybe even more could go if they didn't have to build new stadiums and facilities every few years.Yea I wonder!

Would be nice, but you know were endowments come from and who controls them, correct? Most anre from the ultra wealthy to avoid taxes that buys their kids admission. Most of those endowments don’t touch the principal, they earn enough from interest and investments to pay for their athletic entertainment. You don’t think they really want others joining their generational wealth club, do you?
