Good morning Charlie, There’s not much to add about Trump’s MAGA gang other than for all to acknowledge that these violent thugs suborn sedition, violate constitutional rights wherever they find them, and work diligently to ensure that fair elections, and rightful transfer of power do not happen. And now on to student loan forgiveness with the focus on the American cost of college and graduate education. One word describes it OBSCENE! Cost of higher education is multiple times higher here than in comparably advanced countries. Why? It’s a give away to the banks who issue the loans at outrageous interest rates before transferring the loan to the federal government. Krony Capitalism at its worst! It’s easy to agree that a highly educated population benefits our country. Ergo, higher education should be available to all at reasonable pricing. It’s is sad that even community colleges are charging an arm and a leg and the tuition, room and board at mediocre private colleges eclipses $100 K per year while their AD is paid a cool $4 Mil per year - Syracuse University. Again, obscene! And the buffed out gyms that far outshine commercial gyms, the indoor climbing walls, the gourmet dining halls, the endless pools and hot tubs are tinsel on the teat of this topless dancing whore. My entire first year tuition at one of the finest universities on the continent in 1969, McGill, was 2K! The food sucked, the gym was ancient, but the education was fabulous! We need an urgent trip back to the past, and reset tuitions. My daughter is a tenured, full professor at John Jay and CUNY Graduate center. Most of her undergraduate students are the first in their families to attend college. I think we can all agree this is very good. Never the less, this public school has repeatedly jacked its tuition causing great harm to its disadvantaged students who must take out usurious loans. Thank you Andy Cuomo. Kathy Hochul has not made things better but perhaps worse. Our unregulated, krony capitalism is the proximate cause of our lurch to fascism.
