[QUOTE="FJohnny, post: 16074146, member: 191643"] I think there might be quite a few things Ocasio-Cortez is unaware of.......how can someone so uniquely unqualified get elected? Strange times indeed. Big +1 on that. Unfortunately, it's terrible how much school debt a kid can rack up. It seems to me that a lot of the best might just opt out and not bother with university. Not saying they can't succeed without it but there are some opportunities where a degree gives credibility and opens doors. I hate the idea that we waste potential in any kid just because they are not born into money. I hate even more that a smart and hard working kid can do all the right things and upon graduation owe the equivalent of the value of a house. We are pretty fortunate here. Education is not free but it's pretty heavily subsidized. Enough to make the parents and kids value it but not enough to stop very many from attending university if they qualify and are accepted. I'm not big on government running much at all but I can sure get behind it where it comes to education. A better educated and trained population lifts the entire society. As a comparison, we had some friends visit from Norway. They couldn't believe how much a Canadian university education cost. Their kids were FULLY covered even down to room and board when living away from home. They could not believe our kids had to pay anything and that some could potentially owe money at the end of it. And when they heard that many American kids paid 4 or 5 times what ours cost they almost crapped themselves. One extreme to the other I guess. Hope they cancel all your loans. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
