to an extent yes, but vouchers are a lot better because, for example, a voucher is $10,000 per semester and what’s more is paid by the student, which forces schools to actually provide something for the extra money besides inflated tuitions. also, schools like those in the public education system won’t have an advantage of having money given to them just because they’re public, but because they have students – it wouldn’t matter who owns the school. but this still increases the tuitions.

the biggest issue is how government guarantees (and easy credit) drive up the prices on EVERYTHING not just education.
They can charge so much for a new car because people are able to borrow enough money to finance that car. The house I live in was built in 1959. It cost about $50,000 at the time. This same house could sell for 200K easy today. Is the house BETTER today than in 1959? No. They can get away w/ charging 200K for a 50K house cuz people can borrow for it. Burn the banks!

Wow it was clear as day. Not surprising with you though.
truevoice08 Says:
I would guess tuition vouchers have the same effect as government loans. Would you agree?
truevoice08 Says:
Now we have courses like Feminist studies, multicultural studies, racial studies, queer studies… How advanced must our civilization have become to have the demand for these professions! Lol
dukee155 Says:
@delyshBB well i mean college is useless if you are just going to get your degree for the sake of having a degree if you are learning a skill like accounting or economics
delyshBB Says:
Yes, you had to work while in college instead of doing drugs and partying all the time. Going to college nowadays is useless anyway considering how devalued education became due to the lax standards and bullshit curriculas. It’s all part of the instant gratification mantra that rules our societies. Also, your idea about a population increase reflects your lack of understanding of economies of scale and a lot of other things.
delyshBB Says:
If you want to find a cult, look at the people who say you can spend your way out of debt. lol. And to any person with some degree of understanding of economics, this will be obvious. When you create artificial demand for a good by removing competition on price, the good gets more expensive. Draw the demand and supply curves and play with them a bit.

This guy is a dick.
dukee155 Says:
the reason why they had college loans in the first place was because college tuitions were high plus they have alot more expenses they have alot more land that costs alot more than in 1915 also what about the teachers they have to pay them alot more also there is a significant population increace from 1915 to now so more demand

Brilliant! Thanks for putting things in perspective!
Navywxman Says:
Sorry but he didn’t provide anything that showed that education subsidies directly inflates college tuition. Now it may or may have an effect of some sort as suggested but Schiff did not provide anything concrete delineating a direct link.
Given his cultish slavery to a fictional ideology which raises red flags with me I have to question his reasoning.

By 2020, it will cost $500,000 to put one student through 4 years of college. Something’s gotta gove.

Anytime government subsidizes anything the cost goes up
busterfairway Says:
Well said Peter I couldn’t agree more!
ForTehNguyen Says:
govt rockets the cost of anything it throws money at
greggfraley Says:
Yes, I’d like 2 C more people in college – if they want it. Gov prgs are not what’s driving costs. Inflation is & schools R 2 admin-heavy. I worked my arse off to pay tuition, all summer long at construction & mfg jobs. There were times when I had three jobs and got by on 4 hours of sleep a day, for weeks at a time. And no, I don’t look down on people who don’t have degrees. Wisdom rarely comes from schools, it’s self taught. & anybody can B educated, degree or no degree, if they seek 2 learn.

100000$ . This is the debt most of the students with 4 yr college degree. For this money one can get 45 years of college education in India.
ur1234562001 Says:
let govt pump the money into the system and inflate it by stimulation stimulation stimulation. Do we know what happens to over stimulated athelete?…. the athelete is drug adict and will end up unable to perform to his/her original strenth too. The athelete will be admitted for rehab.
Bankingcartel Says:
The basic infrastructure of the internet did start as public funding yes, but is was being used by government scientists. It wasn’t anything like it is today.
And also, you operate on the assumption that this never would have occurred in the private market. You think that the only reason we have the internet is because of the government.
And also, where in the Constitution does it say the government can create and fund an internet.
Yet another example of the government transferring wealth
jasowong76 Says:
The thing is that basic infrastructure for setup was created by public institutions. The internet, the research at Google, hell, even Yahoo – yes, they all eventually became private institutions – but they started because of public funding. They might not have necessarily come about in the absence of long-term basic, unprofitable research – at least not in the form it is today.
Bankingcartel Says:
The private market made the internet what it is, not the government.
Bankingcartel Says:
Well, see, you fail to understand how markets work.
Without the drug companies being heavily subsidized they would cut costs as well, they would be paying people outragous benefits and pay, etc….and the companies they deal with, would have to lower there prices as well to sell there services to the drug companies.
The whole market would adjust to market conditions. You fail to understand that and seem to think that the drug companies would be paying secretaries 100k a year.
