Here is a very interesting article about higher education in the United States.  More specifically, the article discusses the high cost of college education which is pushing it out of reach of average Americans.

Nobody can dispute that liberals run higher education.  Not even a liberal would dare dispute that, and they are profoundly ignorant.

So what has happened to the cost of college under liberal leadership?  The cost has soared.  From 1982 to 2007, the cost of college rose 439% when adjusted for inflation.  According to the article, the cost of higher education has outpaced cost increases in food, housing, and health care.

Given that liberals run higher education and that they are a critical component of the DFL voting base, we can understand why Democrats have never spoken out about this important issue that is killing our competitiveness in the world economy.  Democrats have demanded action on food and health care costs, but have never demanded that colleges lower their tuition rates.

The only solution Democrats have proposed is to throw more taxpayer money at the problem.  Barack Obama’s plan proves what kind of idiot he truly is.  Obama’s plan to tackle the high cost of college is to give students a $4,000 tax credit in exchange for 100 hours of community service.  That’s truly stupid!  Obama wants to pay college kids $40 an hour to do community service for a measley $4,000, which wouldn’t pay for more than a few weeks of college at his alma matter Harvard.  Obama and the Democrats want to force college students to work while refusing to make welfare recipients lift a finger for their benefits that can greatly exceed $4,000 per year.

No Democrat has ever proposed looking at why college costs so much.  Because if they did, they would find waste and liberal mismanagement which would diminish their argument for more wealth redistribution.  Wealth redistribution is the foundation of the DFL platform.  Cutting the cost of college would defeat the purpose of their existence, which is to control people by redistributing wealth.

Interestingly, the more college costs, the less likely people are to attend it.  The less people who attend college, the less likely they are to get good paying jobs.  The less likely people are to get good paying jobs, the more likely they are to depend on Democrats for welfare and for everything they need to live.

See how it works?  Democrats destroy something and it ends up being beneficial to them because it keeps them in power.
