If privatization is so great how come State Universities provide great low cost education?

Question

Gee Stereotype: I thought all the elite private Universities were "Liberal" not the State U's?

HomeSchool: (1) State U's provide better low cost education that mid class can afford (2) Your arguement about jobs makes no sence (3) Parroting the pivitization catch phrase without thinking is not careing about education. The rest of the country needs to be educated also, not just the rich

HomeSchool: Additionally, calling me a "Liberal" will not change the facts. Guess what!! I'm not a Liberal, not a socialist, not a communist, maybe you are?

Answer 1

Taxes and donations made to the State Universities by Alumni and by organizations
making grants to them for research and for
better education!

Answer 2

SUBSIDIZED!

No wonder they're all Liberal. They're members of the State unions!

Nope. State Universities. I know 2 Profs at Univ of Buffalo, and they both own very nice homes, and do not have to save a dime for retirement. It's a sweet deal for them. What is so amazing is that neither the media nor the Liberals ever question their motives. Of course they are pro-union liberals. They benefit from it. Look up the NY State pension system, and you'll see why I am livid. I am a successful business owner who gets nailed in taxes to the point where I am not much better off than anyone else. Socialism sucks. We work 60+ hours a week to bring in business, but what for? Why bother? The 4 governments just take it away and give it to someone else. There is no American dream when the government controls our income. They have all the power, and the Liberals complain about too much government power? What's the difference?

An article in the Buffalo News yesterday stated that 200,000 immigrants came here to get an education. Wow, how nice. We lost 40,000 residents. Doesn't that tell us they are coming for the deal then leaving because business left due to a heavy tax burden? The Liberal authors never mentioned that, but it is so painfully obvious. I know...let's conduct a study. We'll hire our friends at Liberal Think Tank for $500,000 so we can manipulate the findings. Common sense does not exist in government! Ever.

If you start out believing a fallacy in logic, you can achieve all sorts of philosophical gymnastics. I have long thought, and been able to prove, the theory : All liberal thought, policy, beliefs, and philosophy is rooted in specific identifiable fallacies of logic or thought. All liberal rhetoric is simply justification for the logical fallacies. It works like this. -

1) Assume a lie.
2) Justify the lie.
3) Demean anyone who points out the outcome will not work.

1) Assume a logical fallacy : State Universities provide great low cost education. The fallacy is the Taxpayers provide the funding for the universities. They pay taxes which is money they can't spend on their families and byuing things which will provide employment for more people.
2) Justify the lie : because people are inexpensively educated it's ok not to privatize Universities even as they have no jobs to graduate into.
3) By inference, Those who believe in privatization are not interested in good low cost education.

Thank you for asking this question. it was fun proving my theory once again.

Answer 4

Privatization is most successful in sectors of luxury, and not necessity. For example, in getting the cheapest car, privatization drives (no pun intended) the cheapest, best product. But in cases of necessity, like police or firefighters, it is best to enact a system on the side of socialist. This is because sectors of necessity are essential, and therefor companies can exploit their customers based on their necessity. To many, education is a sector of necessity, and therefor works best when helped out be government departments.

Answer 5

Excellent question.

There is no question that private enterprise is often a good thing. However, I also believe that the public sector can assist in certain areas in very positive ways. Public education is a great example of this.

Answer 6

Don't you love how these people who can't represent themselves in an argument result to calling their opponent a liberal? You're like...annnddddd?????

Yeah, let's get away from the big ole bad government and whore our asses out to a bunch of rich old guys because they really care about us. LMAO

Answer 7

Fortunatly we still have laws supporting education. Give it time where there is a profit to be made privitazation is not far behind.

Answer 8

Many schools are upwards of 20k, great low cost...not so much. Also, they can cost less than private schools due to tax dollars.

Answer 9

You get what you pay for. If it's a "great price" it's probably not a great education.

Answer 10

They are subsidized by taxes.
