    It is the government fault that tuition is rapidly increasing.

    Its the subsidies.

    The colleges could raise the tuition to any amount because they know the government has the students covered. Don’t worry well pay whatever you hike your costs to. When you remove the subsidy, colleges will be forced to lower costs to a respectable number because students wouldn’t be able to afford it.

    @SabreTooth123 I just read in the paper today that a local college is automatically admitting anyone who pays double tuition. Watch out!

    What a liar this guy is it was a lot more than just window being smashed. They took over a whole building and spraypainted it and trashed it. Protest all you want it does matter because we’re broke folks. If you cannot afford college I suggest the miltary they are hiring.

    Who do you think is paying for this? Hire more cops and give them better weapons.

  5. 9sholmes says:

    I think the problem with school from preschool to college is the financial barriers used to separate one student from another. Some students do have access to loans/grants/scholarships to level the playing field, but I think these things ultimately discourage a potential student from going to school rather than encourage.

    You got the revolution from us. If we didn’t put France into so much debt paying for the American revolution. There probably wouldn’t have been a French revolution. Have that cake.

  7. jxsilicon9 says:

    Well actually the buildup to the Iraq war spawned the largest worldwide protest in history.

  8. jxsilicon9 says:

    Thats the point. You can’t afford school. So you end up with massive debt. And get indoctrinated in the lifetime US debt system.

  9. jxsilicon9 says:

    I understand why these people are pissed. Universities try to squeeze you for every dime. For the price of the books you could probably buy a book store.

    I was part of the protest in Riverside, CA!! =]

    you should go after The Young Turks,, but other than that, great job at fucking over Scientology

  13. Ambelghan says:

    Non-violence was the best thing for the civil rights movement? Without the threat of mutually assured destruction or, at least, the division of the US into two separately sovereign regions, from Malcolm X and the Fruit of Islam, all of those peace talkers would have gotten nothing done, including Martin Luther King. The choices were death or fairness, not really a choice at all.

  14. SkreetGil says:

    Less education leads to more control.

  15. ballaj909 says:

    These tuition rates are ridiculous. I’m pretty upset because I go to a private university, and as we all know private school are not funded the same as public schools, although it’s not that great either. But my point is three days ago my school informed us that it is raising the tuition by 20% in less than a year. That is outrageous and shouldn’t be allowed. I literally don’t know what to do because I can barely stay afloat as it is. So I may not be at this school next year, to be honest.

  16. SwobyJ says:

    Well my $2500ish a semester is tuition alone (so it doesn’t include the many other fees), but I’m also at one of the ‘middle-ground’ unis here (not terrible like some of the schools, but not terribly expensive like say University of Toronto or whatever),

    Someone could expect to spend $18,000 plus if they’re in a more expensive field. But yeah… I get your point. Lucky I’m here.

  17. squirrelywrath2 says:

    You know what the weird part about all that is? All I see in the media about USA schools is stuff about frat houses and massive drunk parties. I have been in university for 6 years (long story was aiming for 5 >.>), and have only been to 2 university parties and they had security and were on campus, and there are neither frats, nor sororities. I think its because here its the students paying for it (cause they can) and so they value it more and so actually study.

  18. treez78 says:

    if the federal govt wouldnt guarantee the loans, the schools would be forced to lower their costs or go out of business. just another example of the govt’s hearts being in the right place with the wrong solutions. stay out of our health care big govt, u will fuck that up to!

  19. ManufacturedThoughts says:

    Thanks to the Terrorist Organization called the US Federal Reserve Bank we would not be living in the Second Great Depression.

  20. foospecial says:

    I’m sooo against violence. I’m sure if we hold up enough card board signs to the same powers that are raping and plundering our way of life that things will change!

  21. alizee2010 says:

    As would I, if the opportunity arose. Guess I am a few years later for grad school abroad, but the situation here is so nepotistic and corporatist to the point of sickness. No promoting the general welfare, no safety net, no community, no education; just sink or swim here. Of the people by the people for the people? If it ever was, it is certainly not anymore.

  22. rock3tcat says:

    @alizee2010

    Finland, higher education is only free in Finland when you apply for a student visa in the EU. :D

  23. bamboo4tameshigiri says:

    “It’s not so much the education as it is the status.”

    Absolutely.

  24. bamboo4tameshigiri says:

    $12000 wouldn’t even cover tuition -alone- in the worst schools in this country.

  25. bamboo4tameshigiri says:

    Most of them did up until 2009. Now citizenship is often required. Still, I’d happily renounce my US citizenship for a country that gives a fuck about its citizens.

  33. There are several advantages to shopping online, the first one being the ability to shop at a time that is convenient to you, not just when the shops are open. The second advantage of shopping online is that goods are often cheaper as the seller does not have the costs of running a shop and having to pay wages to salespeople, insurance and all of the other running costs of a real world business.
