The dean - he did stuff too. Those who work should be compensated for their labor. Those who work at public colleges and universities are compensated by the state. Those who work at private colleges and universities are compensated by those who pay tuition, and/or make donations to those schools. Why should those who provide loans so as to make exorbitant profits they do not deserve from those who are trying to learn the skills they need in order to become gainfully employed? Young people have a hard enough time finding a job, much less paying for a new car, a starter home, and other necessities. Why saddle them with debt that would take them thirty years to pay (assuming they can repay it at all)? Certainly that makes no sense. States such as Louisiana and Georgia have had free college tuition programs for decades. Neither state is going to give up what the people want. Any legislator who threatens to pull the plug is met with massive protests. It is just not going to happen. These programs will stay. Once government gives something away, it cannot take it back. Do you honesstly think the elderly will give up social security? Or medicare? Or SSI/medicaid, for those who never were able to qualify for social security/medicare? Face it. Everything ought to be free. It is only a matter of time until it is. >Do you think all those people can forgive the work they did instead of >getting paid? If so, well ok then! Oh, I have never said or suggested that nobody get paid ... or laid. --Lee -- We Make Your Wet Dreams Come True --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: - nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland - (2:221/360)
