Conservatives say Democrats are doing nothing? What ya think of "The College Cost Reduction Act of 2007"? YEAH

Question

This bill seeks to reduce college costs for students and their families by providing the single largest investment in higher education since the GI bill. And it will do so at NO NEW COST!

Lowering intrest on student loans, providing more pell grant money...

BOOYA! Take that ignorant conservative clowns

You heard me morons - NO NEW COSTS - by cutting excess
subsidies paid by the federal government to lenders in the student loan industry.

READ every once in a while

BTW retards, how is THIS communistic??

Answer 1

I am against it. Lower classes should not be educated. They become more dangerous and more difficult to control.

Answer 2

A hundred years ago, a full scholarship meant you didn't have to work your way through college if you didn't come from a rich family.

Now, a full scholarship means you don't come out with tens of thousands in debt, because even working through school doesn't even begin to pay the cost.

Why has the cost gone up so much? One theory is that so much federal money has been thrown at college that it raised the price to where it is unaffordable without that federal money.

If that's the case, the act you praise is only going to make the situation worse.

No new cost, you say. That would earn you an "F" in Economics from any decent professor. Someone is going to pay for it.

Answer 3

This is going to hurt students more than help them. It is exactly this kind of garaunteed, government backed funding that caused the huge explosion in higher education costs in the first place. Schools realise they can raise tuition and fees and not lose students so they max out the funds coming in. Now proffessers and school presidents are making huge amounts of money, and the students are oweing ever growing huge sums when they finally do graduate.

Answer 4

Just passed the House. That is all it has done. A similar piece of legislation must be passed in the Senate, and then the two must reconcile before it is sent to the President.

If it passes, it passes with bipartisan support.

But until it passes, the Democrats have done nothing but raise minimum wage.

Answer 5

Ouch that hurt!

No new cost, where the heck do you think Washington is going to get the money to pay for this program?

Talk about ignorant..........................

Added: Why is it that lefties always resort to name calling when someone doesn't agree with them. Could it be their lack of education and basic debating skills? BTW, many of us ignorant retards actually went to college the old fashion way. We worked and payed our own way. Didn't need the government welfare that the Liberals are so fond of.

Answer 6

One substantial bill passed in almost 8 months of work....

Oh wait... it hasn't passed both houses yet has it? I guess the liberals still haven't done anything yet.


Wow, that is impressive, you have every right to be proud of that record.

Answer 7

Whoa! They passed a bill that wasn't a non-binding resolution bringing their total up to TWO? WOW! I was so wrong about them.

Answer 8

At no new cost? How do we give more grant money at no new costs? Typical liberal, as long as the govenment gives MORE for free, you are happy. It doesn't matter where it comes from.

Liberals and unions never ask for more than four things - M O R E

Answer 9

I think its one descent bill in 7 months, pretty sad rate.

Answer 10
