here's why people never make the mistake of asking me what government programs I would cut--

The right time to end it came at the precise instant that it began.

“So the federal policy began to make higher education more ‘accessible’

More accessible to a vast majority of students who have no business in college. They stumble around campus as they move from easy course to easy course like gender studies and Ethnic studies. Meanwhile the students who should be there are forced to struggle upstream against the students just putting in the time.

In 2010, Barack Obama called for fixing the public education system by giving us the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and “Race to the Top,”

which he said would fix the education system already fixed by the 2001 GW Bush and Ted Kennedy legislation called “No Child Left Behind,”

which was supposed to fix a system supposedly already fixed by a 1994 piece of federal legislation called “Goals 2000,”

which was supposed to fix a system already fixed by “America 2000,”

which was a 1991 response during the Bush administration to a 1983 federal report on education called “A Nation at Risk,

which was published a full four years after Jimmy Carter first fixed the nation’s public school system by establishing a cabinet-level Department of Education in 1979.

College Tuition long ago jumped the shark.

Kinda like we have more poverty NOW than after 50 years of the "Great Society" Programs...

And just one more thing: “Federal outlays have increased the cost of college,” economist Richard Vedder said in a conference call last year, and yet “a smaller percentage of students come from the bottom quintile now than in 1970 before we had these federal education programs.”

Liberals and “Progressives” are the most useful useful idiots of the Marxists. For the Marxists the “unintended consequences” of what they help Liberals and “Progressives” write and propose are not unintended at all. They are always to make the open market conditions for something worse than before, after which the logical answer is that the market (having been driven, managed and regulated to death) is the problem and turning something 100% over to government management is the solution.

Liberals and “Progressives” have been “educated” by Marxists to be stupid while being arrogantly convinced they are not just brilliant but unquestionably correct.

Notice that history shows America’s great accomplishments and great strides took place before LBJ and subsequent liberals and RINOs in power turned it into a namby-pamby society, more concerned about pandering to Nancy Boys, lesbians, illegal aliens, moochers, welfare queens, looters, muslims terrorists and cop killers than honest, patriotic, hard working taxpayers.

Americans built the Empire State building in 16 months.
It took 13 years to replace the Twin Towers.

Men with slide rules put a man on the moon in eight years from a standing start.
Since the Apollo program ended it has been 42 years since an American did anything more consequential than circle the earth in low orbit.

Now NASA is ordered by the president to spend time on “Muslim Outreach”.
