White Teen girl fundraises 10K after parents disown her cause she has black boyfriend

What??? Lol

 

You apparently don't have to deal with fund accounting. If you ever do, you may want to learn that word......lol

 

Hell stop subsidizing college and pro sports. That's a serious amount of money.

Free is not free. You will pay for stuff some where.

 

Lol my bad I thought you were talking about cultural appropriation. Thank you social media lol.
There wouldn't be any appropriation just simple reallocation. No different than we shift spending from one program to another.

 

I literally just explained how to pay for it in the post you quoted. Am I speaking English?

 

He's looking at "FUN"d accounting not FUND accounting

 

Yeah you're going to jail....lol

Let me help. Go after the contractors to reduce the amount the government has to pay for the same stuff. That will reduce tax liability.

 

the govt better get TDK to show em cost accounting and make em reduce the price tag

 

Yep

suddenly funds can just be reallocated to anything we want....when did that happen? Do people really not understand how govt spending works?

 

Yeah it's just magical. Money comes out the air

 

So basically nothing matters and nothing can be changed. It's all written in stone. Of course funds can be allocated where ever. How do you think wars are funded beyond the original budget. What do you think pork spending is? It purely comes down to political will. Do you understand how spending works?

 

It sure does look at all the magical money the FED prints up year after year.

 

Yeah but out the asses of the regular guy

 

By that $300 hammer being "charged" and the drug money America govt been running. Should I remind you of Iran-Contra

 

Yes I do. Clearly you do not.

You really have a way of spinning things. I never said nothing matters and nothing can be changed. But to think that money can just be taken from one area to another suddenly because someone wishes is ridiculous. It doesn't work that way. You can't take defense funds and just use them for education. There are many steps involved to make those types of changes just within the same area let alone to try to move it from one to another. That's the point that several were trying to make when you were championing the girl....as in - how about you focus on making some real changes which takes going through correct channels.

I really don't feel like going over basic govt economics in here. I am quite sure you understand things better than what you are conveying. It's like you are blinded by wanting to argue about something.

 

With the free college you are probably going to have to limit access based on grades and test scores (sat). Then you are probably going to have restrictions on class availability based on your accepted program. Ie no room for engineering majors to pick up a few social science classes. Which would probably end up with less flexibility in scheduling. Ie everyone must take 5 classes per semester. Going to school later in life would be more of a challenge with kids etc... Then you are going to have to come up with rules for people who want more than one bachelors or masters degree because people coming after them need a shot. You can't have someone with a 160iq collecting 7 master degrees before he moves on to apply for his doctorate school.

You gotta have restrictions or turn our state college system into an extended high school.

Under the current system there are more options because people are willing to pay for them leaving room for limiting factors to be a combination of grades, test scores, and cost. With more than one way to jump the cost hurdle.

 

You're right. I'm already seeing some of this going on with changes in just the last few years. I was helping a friend of mine's daughter with some scholarships at a JC last week. The requirements have changed for the financial aid and scholarships quite a bit (just at the JC level) in the past 2-3 years. I took a look at a state college at the same time (sometimes you can actually get better deals/more going up the ladder) and there are more restrictions as well but not as many. Like you said, some of the restrictions are in regards to classes taken, majors, etc. As it is, we are getting to the point where people aren't getting that chance to take varying classes to figure out what they really want to be doing. I think the ability to go to school later in life is really important too.

I think the idea of free higher education sounds great but isn't very realistic. Or (as you mentioned) it becomes an extended high school situation, sortof like in some other countries.

Everyone is quick to talk about reducing fees but I have to wonder how many have taken a good look at the budgets in these schools. There's a huge issue with adjunct professors here (don't know about other areas), buildings in disrepair, etc. Many of these schools don't have a bunch of fat to be cutting. I think it ends up going back to the discussion of the education system and how it needs a complete overhaul which may just be much too big of an undertaking to happen.

 

It's strange how our allies manage to pay for higher education for students who qualify for college but the United States can't, as well as health care. :/

It's all about national priorities. Instead of spending nearly $600 billion a year on the military, we could take just TEN PERCENT from their budget and make college free for everyone who wants to attend.
This is the richest nation in the world, yet for some reason we can't manage to develop a universal healthcare program or make higher education affordable for most students.

BTW I think most adults would be okay with a 3 percent raise in taxes to pay for universal healthcare and free college tuition.
America is going to collapse economically all because of greed.smh

 

Still not concerned enough to start a thread and do a real comparison of our education system vs the system that our "allies" have. You guys would already have some of the info if you were really concerned. Too much work? Smh

 

Just because our military budget needs to be fixed doesn't justify reason to potientally create another problem. You guys remind me of the doctors who "fix" problems by prescribing medicine with side effects. In short they "fixed" one problem by creating another. Smh
