It's all a giant racketeering scam. Students, poor people, hungry people, old people, sick people, farmers, homeowners, etc. All those people are simple conduits to shuttle money between government and the entities that put them in power. Nobody gives a shit about students getting a quality education. They want to know how much debt we cam cram up their ass so schools can pull it out their mouth. Nobody gives a shit about feeding hungry people. It's all about how much junk food we can we cram in someone's mouth to pull dollars out their ass. Drugs in, money out. Medicaid farming, money out. Walking around money, Walmart sales. Homes = wealth (only for everyone other than the owner). I was watching a documentary over the weekend and the topic of farm sustainability was on the table. Over the past say 30 years, in Canada, 98% of profits in the ag sector had gone to entities other than farmers. Another one talked about a corn grower that beat the county average on corn by 50 bushels, and still lost money. Despite all the stimulus and funding in all this shit, outcomes for the person in the middle are horrible. Why? It was never about helping anyone. Just two fiscal predators making a vulnerable person air tight, high fiving each other the whole way. Careful...that almost sounds Marxist

There are no cost curves, no results, no market, no competition. Marx would be proud.

I think it is 50/50 when it comes to college and will it benefit the student. My son went to NDSU and graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering. He makes really good money, and would never have had that opportunity without the degree. There are definitely some kids that spend the $$$ and never benefit by the high cost. I can think of a few off the top of my head. I know one of my son's classmate has $140,000 of student loans and is in a fairly low paying field. Hey i resemble those remarks! Class of 93'. Mechanical engineering degree connected me people i would most cetainly have never met. Leading to very prosperous career and a very long retirement!!!
