on so many levels

Student loans are protected by the government, meaning we are not allowed to abandon student loan debt in bankruptcies, because the government protects the interests of the banking industry, instead of caring about making education available to all.

Can tell you didn’t vote for Berry. I like it

When I went to San Diego State in 1966 my total fees for the whole year were, get ready? $78. I’m not lying.

My tuition in 1967 for the Fall Semester at U. of SW La (now Louisiana-Lafayette) was $50.00 as an in-state resident. It was $75 the following Spring to pay for the yearbook.

In 1965 my first year fees were $50.00 for instate at Mo. State U. (which at that time was Southwest Mo. State College) and by the time I graduated, they were a whopping $125.00 or less, I can’t remember now.

I must have gone to a high $ school. University of Wisconsin Stout in 1970 tuition was $199.50/ semester and room and board in the dorms was $456.
