Open for Questions: Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act

[johndcqr]

You people are discusting. You encourage every young man or woman to be a welfare bum. Either join the army or go to college. No other options are considered, for you people would never have anyone that would help out anyone that would be an individual.

[Falkner08938]

Yup I just downloaded this mp3 at mp3tuber..net

[ThunderKid]

The Secretary of Education, Arnie Duncan, never answered as to whether Pell Grants are available year round or not. He also didn't outline the Financial Aid process well, aside from reiterating the statements about Pell Grants, Perkins Loans, and how taking away subsidies from banks would effect the process.

a lot of people around the world would like to study in The U.S... but your patriot act that prevent most of international student to get F-1 Visa to study in the US... instead they went to Europe, Canada or Australia... the International Student program give US income about more than 1. Trillion US$ every year.... since the Patriot Act is applied no one interesting to study in the US and cause drop 50% of international student to study in the US the result ?? .. NO MONEY !!!

[lindseyjunebug]

an option for those students.. i know of a student who wasn't even living with her parents for a couple of years and still couldn't get out of excluding her parents' incomes, even after they weren't claiming her on taxes.. this just doesn't seem fair to me..

[lindseyjunebug]

what seems to be rarely mentioned is the issue with middle and upper lower class students.. especially those students who don't have help from their parents.. fortunately my parents have been very helpful in my education, but i know a handful of students who don't qualify for grants but have to pay for college by themselves because their parents won't pay, i understand that it would make it easy to trick the system if there wasn't some regulation on it but it seems that there should be an

[willmasahiro]

Yeah! Fuck progressives! Damn OIL and NWO!!

geoflies = tool

oh... and I got two words for you geofiles, Smoot-Hawley

OH Snap!

[skiball100points]

This bill needs to pass! Everything I heard in this video is amaaaaaaaaazing!

[bkdmd]

So you are willing to forget about all of the government failures from the past?

NAFTA - failure

Social security, medicare, and medicare part D have unfunded commitments over $100 TRILLION.

Iraq War on false premises

Response to Katrian

Post Office is in trouble while fedEx ad UPS are doing well.

You are nuts if you trust our government to control more of your life or take care of you when they can't take care of what they are doing.

Wake up and set the kool-aide down.

[Techra]

so thats where my lucky charms went. FUCK U PROGRESSIVES

GIMME BACK MY LUCKY CHARMS

[DojoNDude]

Sounds to me like geofiles is describing republicans. I haven't heard so much hatred and misinformation spewed about a type of people since Hitler started the holocaust! Geofiles is probably firing up the ovens right now. Good thing moderates read that filth and decide to vote democrat.

[Drumvain]

They give these guys way too much bandwidth.

[Jesusoceanside]

I'm in CSUF in California an tuition will increase next fall by 10% and UC's increased to around 10,000 dollars. Then this video is telling me they will increase the money for students,

[MsTommyknocker]

In Denmark college and uni is completely free and every single student gets a monthly student support of up to 800$. I'm not saying this is brilliant, because it results in a huge tax burden, but I do think that in AMERICA, it could balance things a bit, and strengthen education

[TheAgeofReason17941]

What kind of tax burden are we talking about? Isn't Denmark still considered one of the top ten competitive economies by the World Economic Forum?

[Glenum]

Marvellous... A government that is open, honest and with representatives held accountable for their decisions... Think you Americans should appreciate it more... Rather than always looking for something to moan at...

[tyu3456]

Google search = stupid conspiracy theories

[maskedphrogg]

Both of you, RebelRouserMC with his ongoing spam posts and tyu3456 with the uninspired retort, need to present some findings. Insinuating that the burden of proof is on your audience is intellectual dishonesty. It is also an ineffective means to present a case. Come back when you have something substantive to add to the discussion.

[tyu3456]

I would love to have substantive, informative discussion on youtube comments. I agree completely that to present a case, you need to present proof. However, RebelRouserMC obviously thinks that he can post an outrageous comment and think someone will listen to him, so I responded to him in kind.

[maskedphrogg]

Check that.

RRMC has been posting that simple minded line for days if not weeks

Over and over and over again.

One, this one anyway, begins to suspect that Rebel is a disinfo agent. Play badly with others and ensure your anti-social behaviour is associated with your enemy, or some target if not a specific enemy. The target here being those that have suspicion that Obama is not a natural borne US citizen.

I take issue w/your reply as OP's is neither stupid, unfounded, nor a conspiracy theory.

[tyu3456]

you're right, it's not stupid or unfounded, but I believe it still is a conspiracy theory, here is the dictionary definition of conspiracy theory: "n. A theory seeking to explain a disputed case or matter as a plot by a secret group or alliance rather than an individual or isolated act" so the theory is that obama actually has a fake birth certificate and is called Barry Soetoro and the secret group would be obama's buddies/cabinet/staff, because obama could not do such a thing alone

[maskedphrogg]

I fail to see such a conspiracy among the group cited. The crux of the matter lays in the fact that Hawai'i has document disclosure laws that prohibit the public disclosure of Birth Certificates without a request from the Subject of the Birth Certificate. Barack H Obama has made no such request and thus Hawai'i has made no public disclosure. Whether such a document even exists remains a mystery. Blood relatives have made public claims of a birth in Kenya. The veracity of those claims is opinion.

[tyu3456]

The fact that there are a multitude of questions that need to be asked and verified in order for this to be even believable makes this a conspiracy

[maskedphrogg]

Self fulfilling claims now is it.

The very existence of a valid Long Form Certificate of Live Birth has been called into question. Where is the hardship or difficulty in providing it? Hawai'i prohibits such disclosures independent of the Birth Cert Subject. Why is BHO holding out on requesting it himself?

All other candidates for Elective Office are willing to make such document disclosures. What is it about BHO that gives him leave of providing reasonable evidence of his birth place?

[Nihawmah]

what's up with all these mulattos popping out everywhere in the obama administration?

so many of them as well as in cnn. lol

[Techra]

lol ^_^

[geofiles]

Our families are looking for more than empty promises. They want to go back to work. And they want our Democratic Party representatives who run Washington to stop pursuing a big government, big spending agenda that includes a government takeover of health care, stimulus bills, a new national energy tax and taxpayer-funded bailouts.

[Techra]

how is having basic regulations a "government takeover of health care" ?

[maskedphrogg]

It is government regulation that is the direct precursor and cause of the problems present in Health Care delivery. Further and more restrictive regulation is merely a tightening of the shackles upon that market.

[RebelRouserMC]

[shooter348]

@kevburyn As I see it the GI bill is part of your pay package and your money to spend. I think college is overrated and way over cost myself. Instead of finding someone else to pay peoples way through college why can't they drop the fees they charge? If the federal government pays for everyone to go to college then a college degree will become worth even less and their will be no motivation for colleges to keep fees down. Another third payer boondoggle.

[ppparaone]

It is amazing that 11 hours after this was published it only had 690 views. Post a cat video and it will blow that viewcount out of the water.

[turtleblues66]

finally a President who takes education seriously WTG Mr. President!!!!

[superdoglick]

If the Federal Government would get out of te student loan business a college degree would cost half as much and a Professor would make half as much.

The real scam is the subsidizing of the flaming liberal professor. It has nothing to do with education and the students.

[geofiles]

Who in their right mind would of thought we would now have pro-Marxist, pro-Fascist, and pro-Communist advisers and what they call Czars in the White House?

Our founding fathers clearly knew about change, for they changed history in providing us with the Constitution of the United States. Unlike any other, Obama and the Democratic Party are undermining and destroying our American democracy as founded in protecting individual liberty and freedom.

[pgunn01]

If you talk about Marxism and Fascism in the same breath, you don't know squat about either.

[geofiles]

Our Democratic Party has already lost the equivalent of every member we have acquired over the past seven years or more, and many of them are now supporting the tea party. More importantly, a recent Newsweek cover declared, "We are all socialists now."

[Techra]

can you explain how "we are now socialists"?

[geofiles]

Socialist now call themselves Progressives, and Progressivism is just another word for Avarice. It is the unbridled desire for power and wealth at the expense of others. Progressivism is exactly what Progressives accuse Capitalism of being: Greed. In fact, it is worse, because Progressivism is also Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Sloth, Wrath and Vanity.

[geofiles]

Progressives don't believe in the American Dream because they have never lived a life without it. American Progressives have no understanding of the sacrifices that the men and women of previous generations have made so these spoiled little brats could live in the decadence that they live in, and since only 2 million of them will ever have served in the military in war, most of them never will.

[geofiles]

Progressives are Godless, and they are Soulless. They are hypocrites. For a Progressive, any law to control people is okay, so long as it doesn't apply to them. For a Progressive, it is better to live in safety as a slave than to live in danger with Liberty. Progressives feel they are entitled to all of the best that life has to offer whether or not they contribute to their own success. Progressives are the cancer, the plague that will eventually destroy mankind and any remote concept of Freedom

[geofiles]

Progressives think they are the ones with the answers, and they are. It's just that their answers are all wrong. Progressives believe in the concept of "too big to fail" in a country that has always celebrated the little guy, the underdog. Progressives believe government and men can give rights when those rights are granted to each of us at birth by God.

[geofiles]

Progressives are the ones who created the idea of an American Empire, and later a global authority that is referred to as the New World Order, but we know it as the United Nations. Progressives caused every economic collapse the United States has ever seen from 1920 to 2010. Progressives broke the back of the US automakers, and created our dependence on foreign oil.

[Techra]

guess what... it turns out i'm the mastermind behind everything. NWO is coming, and i will make sure you are the first person who gets free pancakes from IHOP for a whole year

[Techra]

you didn't explain how we are socialists

also, capitalism is the best system humans have had... but that does not mean helping people in need is a bad thing

[RebelRouserMC]

progressives

[pgunn01]

Cute, but very wrong.

Fascism and Socialism are very different political ideologies, and they have historically always been at each others throats far more than capitalism with either.

You badly misunderstand history, and it's disappointing that you think you're convincing anyone with this drivel.

[lindseyjunebug]

so changing government spending to helping the average citizen instead of helping the most wealthy in our nation, is a socialist plot? if that is your definition of socialism/communism.. then what's wrong with it?

first of all research communism a little more before making claims like this.. communism is the belief that everyone should be on the same level, that we should help the most poor of people.. but all of the house's bills are designed to help mainly middle class americans

[MsTommyknocker]

They are not. Trust me I know

[Techra]

we don't have Czars in the whitehouse. the title is an obvious nickname for the actual titles of the people

[geofiles]

Techra is correct about it being a nickname, and many of them are pro-Marxist, pro-Fascist, and pro-Communist.

[Harleybravo]

You cannot have Marxist/Communist ideals, mixed with Fascism. those three basic ideals are incompatible with one another.

[shooter348]

I don't think pgunn knows squat. A hallmark of fascism is government control of private businesses, kind of like government motors. The government takeover of the healthcare industry follows more along a Marxist ideology since it's more of a complete takeover and is supposed to benefit all of those in need.

[Techra]

how is it a "complete takeover" ? are you saying that the government will own the doctors and hospitals?

[geofiles]

The socialists democrats are continually crying and demanding more stolen goodies from the hard workers of this once free and proud and prosperous nation. These socialist democrats have bankrupted this nation. They keep demanding more and more and Obama will give it to them. We are broke now. We cannot afford any new programs. The dollar will collapse. We are doomed as a nation. You will not recognise this once free nation in 20 yrs. Thanks you my fellow socialist democrats for all your theft.

[9722tommy]

im a robotics and electrical engineering major, and minor in physics and buisness i am reciving fin . aid. my work will aid in development and the money will be made up by taxs i pay

[maskedphrogg]

The discussion here doesn't revolve around *your* student aid. The point that needs to be seen is that over time all this monetary aid has given incentive and reward for raising the price cost of secondary education. It is not that you receive aid but that because so many thousands upon thousands receive aid that education costs so much more than it would in a market w/o that government granted aid. This program props up unnaturally high tuition and helps ensure tuition remains at that level.

[krasav4ik82]

00:19 - she look like she want to suck his d?

[skiball100points]

@krasav4ik82

So a woman looks at a man for a slightly extended period of time and you assume it's sexual?

[krasav4ik82]

00:19 - isn`t? :-)

[mohawow]

How about those who paid for you when you were in college!

this is a cycle and is must continue !

[shooter348]

@mohawow I paid my own way through college. Why should I be obligated to pay for others?

[namename654]

Your not you see. They get a tax rebate from the future.

[Taospark]

Well, lots of people who deserve that chance don't get it and can't even earn it, literally. For every one Abraham Lincoln or Frederick Douglass who taught himself because he couldn't go to college, there are dozens and hundreds more poor whites and blacks who do not even have that chance and need help.

[shooter348]

@Taospark Can't earn it? I did it off minimum wage jobs! It takes more than four years but if they really want it they can do it. Providing something for someone who isn't willing to work for it is a waste. Most won't take it seriously and the whole program will become another government money pit.

[Taospark]

But they will be working for it, because unlike the undergraduates getting a full ride from their parents, this is their only shot at a better life, subsidized or not. There's nothing wrong with helping people who want an education even if Financial Aid doesn't have a 100% success rate.

[shooter348]

I don't think you understand, I didn't get any help from my parents. I paid for my own tuition as well as for my own food and housing. Financial aid didn't do crap for me. I wasn't eligible for any grants and the loans that I did get weren't federally subsidized but were from a private bank with interest payments due while I was still in school. If I could do it all on my own why can't others? And why should I be forced to pay for others to have it easier than I did?

[asperin]

@mohawow

The cycle must continue! And if you refuse to submit we shall kill you!

You savage.

I was never in college, don't assume so quick.

And If I did go and I did get subsidized college, it would have been my parents who paid for it, no one else.

Because if you reason a little, the money from the taxes pay some of the stuff you use, yet that is not a reason to support taxation.

A lot of stuff you disapprove also is paid for with your money.

[asperin]

@mohawow

Some people do not have an easy time knowing their money is used to kill people of other nations, that's why they become vocal about it.

You just don't care, as long as you have your few material possessions you will bow down to any master.

[mkedean1]

nice idea, pay 10% of your bill. i wonder if they can do that with my taxes?

[TheCosmo12345]

WATCH ...RING OF POWER....PARTS 1-29

[SwobyJ]

Yeah, paranoid schizophrenia can be a bitch. Bloodlines aren't even *that* important to elites anymore, really.

[DPerjar]

Do you understand how modern nations operate? Should I pay for the roads you drive on if I don't own a car?

[asperin]

@DPerjar

Modern? You mean CURRENT.

The current system requires force to be initiated against others who do not wish to use certain services.

If you don't have a car, but, you move to my area, it is required by the area that you pay a fee for the road.

If you don't want to pay for a road, there will be areas with likeminded individuals for you to join.

THAT is what I propose as a concept.

Voluntary societies.

Can you grasp it?

[DPerjar]

It sounds good on paper, yeah, maybe. But any serious person will realize what kind of divides this would cause.

[maskedphrogg]

You don't. Taxes for road maintenance are collected at the Point of Sale of petroleum products used to power your vehicle. If you don't buy gas you don't pay the tax.

Glad to clarify that point for you.

[f1nK3L90]

you don't have to pay your taxes. if you believe your taxes are paying for programs you don't believe in like war, or bomb-building, or education you can decide not to pay your taxes. however, there are consequences for your actions. this tactic has been used in history to show non-violent resistance.

[asperin]

@f1nK3l90

That was my point, the "consequences".

If humans looked at taxation as what it really is, we would come out with different methods to finance our society's needs.

We will get there some day, obviously there is an increasing number of people who realize the State is nothing but coercion.

[Emii]

yes the students do need help especially the ones who are struggling to afford it.

[twim20]

good job obama admin...keep supporting accountability and financial help for our schools
