Obama is looking out for the middle class and working class. He's a real hero of Middle Class Americans (what are left of them).

Here's a picture of him toasting them:

Annual tuition at U of Virginia is now $28,000,  William and Mary is $26,000 for STATE SUPPORTED SCHOOLS!

Mostly, this is a function of infinitely bloated bureaucracies, and edifice complex (too damn many buildings), but it is also bone headed socialism.  Every family that can pay, is expected to pay for their kid AND a moron, entitled kid.

Evil is contagious.

"At this point, an astounding 53 percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year."

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-05-27/40-frightening-facts-fall-us-ec...

So for 53% of Americans, tuition at those schools approaches their annual income. Nothing some student loans can't fix! Need moar debt!!!

For in state students (Tuition only) - UVA 2014-2015 --  $20,032 per YEAR ... W&M Tuition 2014-2015 -- $17,650 per YEAR ... Virginia Tech -- $12,000 per YEAR   . Where did you get YOUR numbers?

From a family member funding a 529 for her children.  She probably gave me projected average tuition for their time in school in just a few years.

Good catch.  It's bad enough without exaggeration, but then add books, food, housing, birth control, whatever.

Yeah, if it's total cost that's about right, but I'm pretty sure she was talking about tuition.  The point of the exercise is to find out how much you need to save now, to actually pay those bills.  It's not pretty.

Out of State is an arm and a leg.

Still off the charts batshit crazy numbers.  I'm old enough to remember when an entire 4 year degree at a decent state college cost less than a single year's tuition today.  And I'm not that old.

I went to a state university in WA and graduated in 1984. My tuition was $206 a quarter, $618 a year for the first couple of years and then went up slightly from there. My student loans for my entire time in college was around $4K. Payments were something like $50 or $100 a month. Had them paid off in a few years. It was cheap to go to school.

The situation today is FUBAR.

I graduated in 2001, and it was nothing like it is today. My loans were paid off in a few years, too. Not sure what my kids are gonna do. I think I might paint them up in blackface and have them apply for every minority scholarship.

You can blame the predicament we face today on numerous events throughout history.

1912 1930s 1960s 1980s 1990s 2000's

There are atleast 6~10 defining moments in history that caused the situation we face, obama is only here exacerbating the problem currently so he is taking flack.

 

 

By far the biggest blame for the death of an economy always falls on central banks and the way the currency was handled.

The way the currency is handled always trumps every other aspect of the economy... because it causes the greatest miss-allocation of capital.

True. Obama has just dropped any pretense from it. That's his contribution to transparency. He is now willing to say "fuck you" to your face.

And I thought his claim to fame would be his consummate lying skills. Turns out he has been telling us the truth all along, if we had just listened. Fundamentally changing America.

What's in the rear view mirror is  water under the bridge for the country and its citizens now.... the guy (or thing in this case) in the driver's seat has the ability and responsibility to do the right thing the country and ALL of its tax paying citizens starting today and going forward, or at the very least uphold the oath of office that was taken....

If you remember, he fumbled the oath of office too, then supposedly took it correctly later...sort of like Bin Laden's burial.

So technically, he's not violating anything...

So I don't remember giving 9 black robed political hacks my personal permission to re-write the constitution, nor do I see a properly ratified amendment giving these fucks that authority...Jeb, git yer musket...

Stealing from the middle class has been an American tradition for decades. They started refining their skills when Reagan came into office with his piss down economics. By that point they had dumbed down the majority of 'Mercans to accept about anything.

Obama is just carrying on the legacy. Only such obedient people are allowed to ascend to the throne.

I'm all in favor of the General's position for the Air Force to get rid of A-10s, I think they should give them all to the Army, who should have had them from the getgo. The 1st Cavalry did well back in the day because we had our own organic close air support. Seems pilots co-operate much better when they're sleeping in the next tent to the grunts they're supporting. Just sayin'.
