If Obama said one word every second for each dollar of debt we've gained since he became president, he'd be speaking for more than 150,000 years.

I also wish Obama wouldn't act like America doesn't have the highest corporate tax rates in the western hemisphere. Loophole BS notwithstanding.

i hung out with a cambridge grad a couple weekends ago who was lamenting the absurd increase in their tuition in recent years. it's 9,000 pounds/year. at cambridge.

tuition is out of fucking control. i think saying universities will lose federal funding if they don't keep themselves in check is a pretty mild suggestion.

overall, this was a centrist's wet dream. anyone who is anywhere close to the center has absolutely nothing to complain about from it. i found it boring and uninspiring but i'm not the target audience i guess.

Tuition's skyrocketed though as a pretty direct result of govt interference with loans, etc. It is a major problem, but you can't regulate it while forcing schools to give out free aid.

"tuition is too high because it's the schools' fault! and cause of the loans that students have to take out because the tuition is too high. and because of the financial aid that isn't enough to cover tuition..."


uh, I don't think so.

tuition in American public universities is so expensive because the public isn't giving enough support to its higher education system.

i'm pretty ambivalent about SOTUs but i thought this one hit the right notes. that could be because i was on the treadmill and reading through captions, whereas i usually listen to it and doze off halfway through. seems like a good address to cap off his presidency, assuming he's on his way out

i admit i let out a giggle on the spoiled milk part. in my defense i was still kind of stoned

you mean how the government now lends money directly to the student instead of going through a predatory lending company that makes no investment of their own but gets paid interest on government money

could you explain how that skyrockets tuition or are you just braying jackass fiscal conservative lines because most people won't call you out on it and it's so fucking easy to do

tuition in texas, i know for a fact, has gone up because of government deregulation

the only reason conservatives go after the education system is because they view them (educators) as unlikely to vote for or support conservative candidates. and in conservatives politics if you're not with them you are the enemy.

So, conservatives apply the "all government is evil" mantra to schools/colleges.... and you end up with some kind of nonsense about subsidized student loans, teacher tenure, etc. being the problem...

but in the mean time state governments are constantly cutting support for education.


guess what? college is expensive.. either society funds it for the good of us all, or it becomes a huge burden on individuals and leads to a lifetime of debt for people not in the 1%

Mitt Romney is the Tom Cruise of the Norman religion. He can't leave. But he can hide his money in Switzerland

Union is actually the name of a beer in Slovenia. The beer is in a good state.
