    There is zero excuse for the rates colleges charge now. The Republican Wet Dream of for profit college is killing education at all levels.
    I don't disagree that colleges charge too much but it's still possible to get out of school with a degree in whatever and not be a slave the rest of your life to student loans.

      They've ruined college though. It's supposed to be about discovery and finding yourself. Now it's about economics.

        I thought it was about completing a task on your own, without teachers and parents riding herd

          If you’re a really good athlete at the right sport then maybe.

            That's just the ordinary animal training of late teens / early 20s. It has nothing to do with college, which is about being exposed to stuff way above your parents and your hometown, and being able to have a few years of thinking and exploring before being reduced to a mindless working drone.

            College is about finding and encouraging intellectuals. Everything else can be handled by trade schools and the army. About 1000 times the number of people who belong in college go there purely for the status and credential.

              What's the current % of students who aspire to be intellectuals, 10? Probably less than that

                Intellectual isn't a dirty word in every sub-culture. We could use a few more of them. The anti-intellectualism of the US led directly to Trump. They are the antibodies of a healthy political body.

                    That’s another reason why this tax plan is so insane. Literally ruining the future for everyone so some rich people get even richer right now.

                      I think it's more likely an economy that left the working class out in the cold. They bought the BS that Trump was selling, draining the swamp, wall etc

                        For Profit College predates Trump...but he and his party are trying to make it into the next bubble. This whole thing is going to explode soon because the economy cant take an entire generation being so in debt they are paralyzed from spending.

                          Especially given how many hundreds of billions or dollars colleges are sitting on with their endowments. Almost certainly trillions.

                                What does David Stockman, the so-called Father of Reaganomics, have to say about this budget. About Reagan's tax bill, he said the following: "I mean, Kemp-Roth was always a Trojan horse to bring down the top rate.... It's kind of hard to sell 'trickle down.'"

                                I know he got in some trouble on Wall Street after leaving OMB, but is he getting any airtime with this budget?
