What will happen is they will get those low-med performers into college then businesses will raise the minimum requirements for entry to a Masters degree, then Phd.

Not frickin surprising. The cost of an education is absurdly expensive.

The problem — most parents and students do not look at the cost of education frugally. So what if it costs $12000 a year for a kid to live on campus, so what if tuition is many times that. We'll just borrow the money, they say.

And of course, if you can't afford it, the “government will help you.”

Academics sure are stupid. Or is that greedy? Get government and tax dollars out of schools and watch the cost of education decrease, thus making it more accessible to everyone.

If you are not afraid of work, the time and money wasted going to college to be programmed by the Marxists is unnecessary.

What in America would not improve if half the people going to college did something useful instead?

The best thing for America would be to reduce the number of people enrolled in “higher” “education” by half.

If you’re in the bottom quintile of income, your family income has fallen 14%” at least since the recession

D**NABLE LIARS!!!

We are in the midst of a roaring recovery! Income has never been so good!

Besides, any losses that occurred happened before late January, 2009!

Just another hate-driven attack on The Black Man in the White House.
