Cards On The Table

I'm gonna lay it all right out here:

After all that's been said and done, all the things they've inflicted on America, the American people, and the world, anyone who supports the Bush "Administration" falls into one of these categories:
  1. Stupid
  2. Delusional
  3. Corrupt

Umm, I wasn't talking about the loans. I was talking about the fact that the institution's tuition would be a lot higher without the public funding that it receives, and therefore your loans would be a lot bigger.

In short, if you are attending a public university, you are benefitting from the public funding of that university regardless of how you choose to pay for it.

Errr....when did I ever say I was adverse to public spending on education? That's hardly a handout, I had to earn the right to work on this degree, I didn't just get placed here without working for the chance.

The taxes of people in your state went toward your education. You didn't "earn" it -- you were given it as an opportunity.

Other people's work -- their salaries -- went toward your benefit.

You didn't "earn the right" in any way, shape, or form. Man, you've got some sense of entitlement on you, kiddo!
