Studies have shown it would be cheaper to just pay for everyone's college than the halfassed grants and loans the government gives out now.

Unless I'm mistaken, you're referencing an article you linked which talked about the cost of federal higher e programs exceeding tuition at public universities.

Well, obviously the government shouldn't subsidize private institutions.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Not only does the government currently do that on a massive scale, I'm really perplexed why it shouldn't if the private option is more efficient and effective than the public option.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I imagine any federal system would work a lot like the Post 9-11 GI Bill, where public universities are covered in full, but private ones only up to a certain amount.  But in our hypothetical case, you could exclude private ones altogether, and they'd probably do just fine.

Put a goddamn hard return in your posts Timmy.  How fucking hard is that to remember?

Since it doesn't bother me, it's hard. :(

I'll teach you: put your right index finger on the "Enter" key and push.

The US subsidizes food producers (through food stamps), house builders and mortgage lenders (through the mortgage interest deduction), and rental property owners (through Section 8), just to name a few.

That doesn't seem like the proper way to type.

I have long abandoned the proper way to type.  I just type however I want to.  I know it is wrong but I am too used to my way now that I lack the incentive to change my habits  :blush:

I took a typing class in high school and it's been one of the handiest things I learned.
