Statue Of Liberty

In our age there is no such thing as "keeping out of politics" All issues are political issues- George Orwell-  Knowledge without experience is philosophy, experience without knowledge is ignorance- Dr Joe D- The law of cause and effect is immutable- Do you have any profound quotes of your own? Some here and there but not off hand
   Their are starving children in Yemen and hungry college students at Cornell. The statue of liberty is kaput for many students strapped down with false hopes and dreams and college loan debt. The happiest people in the world come from countries with  socialist based educational systems. America ranks 13. There is something wrong with the big picture when private equity firms and hedge funds make a killing off of students that are just trying to survive. The Darwinian based model of the American dream is for the 1% who continue to  exploit the vulnerable. The same executives that should have went to jail 10 years ago are now targeting scholars who just want a degree or two. These loans are unrealistic when the balance that gets paid off is just the interest. It sounds a lot like the adjustable rate mortgage scam. So let me get this straight the greed mongers that should have went to jail a decade ago  had Uncle Sam do an intervention and  bail them out but nobody is helping out the students who aren't doing anything illegal. These schools need to become more affordable, even the little ivys and big Ivys. Potential false hopes and dreams shouldn't be marketed just so the fat cats can continue to exploit the struggling students that are just trying to survive
