Lawmakers To Make Obama's Free Community College Plan A Reality

Quoted Text
America's College Promise Act, according to an aide familiar with the legislation, will provide
a federal match of $3 for every $1 invested by states to waive tuition and fees at community,
technical and tribal colleges.

Lawmakers estimate that this legislation could help a full-time community college student
save an average of $3,800 in tuition per year and benefit an estimated 9 million students
if every state participates in the program.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Who pays for the $3800?  Oh yeah it's just added to the debt...So their children.

They should go with the Greek education model.  Where education is FREE.  Free works well.  I believe unemployment for people under 25 years of age is 50%.  That free education hard at work getting Greeks some work.

Cicero, Cicero, Cicero... Do you always put your online foot in your online mouth.  
Why not check the FACTS before you post.... (Sigh)  We've done this so many times.  

Let me explain the process...
First you think of post...
Then (this is the important part) you RESEARCH the post...
Then you compose it and post it.

Great...that will generate $70 billion over ten years.  That pays about 1% of the current $17 trillion of debt(not including the debt accumulated over the next 10 years).  

Yup...that'll pay for it.  Great research box.  Problem solved.

They are trying to get the rest of the European Union and their kids to pay for it.  Central bankers want to make multiple generations of Europeans into debt slaves.

Puerto Rico, followed in the footsteps of the American Empire and created more entitlements than it could afford. So if Puerto Rico can't pay it's debt, the American Empire will suffer....just like Europe will suffer from Greece. So let the American Empire create yet ANOTHER entitlement it can't afford!
and remember....china owns 60% of the American Empire's debt...what will happen WHEN the American Empire can't pay it's TRILLIONS of debt?
idiots!


Quoted Text
Puerto Rico is being dubbed "America's Greece." The island has too much debt that it can't pay.
While the island managed to avoid default by making its big July 1 bond payments, Puerto Rico still has over $70 billion in outstanding debt to go. Governor Alejandro García Padilla has said the country won't be able to pay that all back, dubbing it a "death spiral."

"To tell you the truth, Puerto Rico is a bigger problem for American investors than Greece," Alan Valdes, director of floor trading at DME Securities told CNN. "Most American investors have little exposure to Greece at all."
Related: Puerto Rico avoids default...for now
The fallout: So who gets hurt if Puerto Rico doesn't pay up -- or if it only pays back a fraction of what it owes? It could be you.
A lot of regular Americans hold these bonds.
