One in Eight Americans Now Receives Food Stamps

Quote:

I just know for the last 5 years of my life I, myself, have been denied aid from the government as far as loans and grants for college go because my single mother makes about 25k a year and that's 'rich' according to the letter of rejection they sent me.

You're probably doing it wrong.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's always seemed in my experience that those paying at least part of their own way in college tended to take their studies a bit more seriously than those completely on their parent's dime.

I guess I'd be all for free education as long as you actually had to get an education in order to get the piece of paper at the end.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Except the problem with making a college education free for everyone is the total devaluation of a college degree, and the likely decrease in the quality of an education everyone will get. Do you think it'll be any more fair when colleges expect the same quality of work as our current high schools?

I'm in total support of making college free for everyone, but restricting the everyone to the people who will take their education seriously.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I suppose learning how to do a kegstand is more important than, say, learning a worthwhile trade or skill.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

A MS is actually seen as the entry-level degree in a lot of engineering fields.

I was speaking idiomatically.
