Yeah right! I understand the sentiments of the students protesting because of tuition fee hikes. Public quality education should be affordable. I agree with the speakers. Thumbs up.

It'd be great to see some female officers beating up the middle class bitches in their leggings and hollister. They could punt them up their almost bare arses and make them run back to mummeh and dadday. lol probably in hertfordshire.
Tuition is high. Can't argue with that. What did everyone else think of the new one called "You Have A College Degree, Now What?" Heard the book has gotten good reviews so far.
It is the government fault that tuition is rapidly increasing.
Its the subsidies.
The colleges could raise the tuition to any amount because they know the government has the students covered. Don't worry well pay whatever you hike your costs to. When you remove the subsidy, colleges will be forced to lower costs to a respectable number because students wouldn't be able to afford it.
What a liar this guy is it was a lot more than just window being smashed. They took over a whole building and spraypainted it and trashed it. Protest all you want it does matter because we're broke folks. If you cannot afford college I suggest the miltary they are hiring.
I think the problem with school from preschool to college is the financial barriers used to separate one student from another. Some students do have access to loans/grants/scholarships to level the playing field, but I think these things ultimately discourage a potential student from going to school rather than encourage.
I understand why these people are pissed. Universities try to squeeze you for every dime. For the price of the books you could probably buy a book store.
Non-violence was the best thing for the civil rights movement? Without the threat of mutually assured destruction or, at least, the division of the US into two separately sovereign regions, from Malcolm X and the Fruit of Islam, all of those peace talkers would have gotten nothing done, including Martin Luther King. The choices were death or fairness, not really a choice at all.
These tuition rates are ridiculous. I'm pretty upset because I go to a private university, and as we all know private school are not funded the same as public schools, although it's not that great either. But my point is three days ago my school informed us that it is raising the tuition by 20% in less than a year. That is outrageous and shouldn't be allowed. I literally don't know what to do because I can barely stay afloat as it is. So I may not be at this school next year, to be honest.
I'm sooo against violence. I'm sure if we hold up enough card board signs to the same powers that are raping and plundering our way of life that things will change!
Is it Funny that youtube wont let me say-"free education for EVERYONE through WEED TAXATION"? how about it? how about it? AND is it funny that youtube wont let me say---
Maybe if everyones tuition wasn't guaranteed by the govt. the universities would be forced to lower tuition? If everyone can get a guaranteed loan (if the student can't pay the govt. will) what motive does the university have to lower tuition. If noone could afford tuition the schools would be forced to lower their prices. Yet, with govt. loans the schools could charge 100k if they wanted because the govt. will pick up the tap if the student can't pay.
FUCK YOU ASSHOLES WITH YOUR HAND OUT... WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY, our government pissed it all away!! So now you have to actually pay your own way, oh boo hoo... lightweights...
Back in the old days bill collectors got tared and feathered. That is the way to solve the problem tar and feather bill collectors until their bosses lower the prices to a reasonable level. I'm not advocating anything at all, I'm just saying.
Where's the appreciation? When somebody pays your way for something, your express gratitude (good people do anyways), and you don't throw a tissy if that person goes broke and can't continue to pay for the thing that you should be paying yourself in the first place. Do these people not understand that the money they receive is taken from people, often against their will? They should thank the tax payer and ask nicely for more charity, not act like it's owed to them, because it isn't.
Beer is peace. Hey, have you ever brewed a batch of barley wine? I've recently finished one called Bigfoot barley wine. You can find the recipe online. It was pretty damn good. I highly recommend it. Takes a long time to age, but it is well worth it. You brew your own beer - you can't be all bad.
I learned more in my father's metal shop than I learned in high school or the couple years I spent in college- before poverty forced me to drop out. That still doesn't do me jack shit. I have the wonderful "freedom" to work the same back breaking jobs for the same pay I earned in high school while earning half what my father earned 25 years ago, back when the dollar actually had value. The whole fucking system is broken; I deliver the same labor for about 1/4 the return. Amerika fuck yeah!
Hey this really hit home for me. I have been trying to get into San Francisco State for over a year. Last year I had to pay out of pocket to get classes (that I could even get into). Out of last semester, I think students lost I want to say 6 days out of their classes due to furlough days. I thankfully got in for the fall semester but there was a very real danger that I wouldn't have, for I had heard that they weren't accepting anymore students, and rolling back the application deadlines.
This is so refreshing to see students rise up to fight for their education rather than sit down. MLK would be proud, as would others who fought for equality in America on the basis of education and other areas of the American experience.
This is a beautiful day in America, a beautiful day!
Yet, it's so sad that it has gotten to this point. State's being broke and jacking up costs is the furthest thing from a beautiful day...but it is nice to see people speaking their mind...too little to late maybe...
Equality mean bringing the top down, not the bottom up. To achieve "equality" in education, for example, schools would have to teach at the level of the person with the least learning capacity. Otherwise, people would be getting a better education than him/her, and that would be unequal. "Equality" is one of those words that sounds good, but will never happen because it doesn't exist. But I guess we can all pretend that it does and go broke trying to achieve it. To the bottom everyone!
Yeah, jealousy's a motherfucker. Of course, they'd have to steal one - It's not like they are going to buy one or make one. And it might take a little work to find one to steal. I'm not worried.

Anna, you're wrong. We can get quality education for a very low price and, in fact, we can get FREE higher education. We just can't do it in the United States.
Better than the tech schools that have still become too expensive for the masses to attend- in the US. Don't pull my leg on this shit. If I wasn't a prisoner of my class status I would have left this country already.
"Trust me...those 'free' educations in europe are not as quality as the schools in America..."
Those "free" education european schools do on average better than your average American schools....
But then you'll pull out "ooh but America has the best healthcare in the world, people from all over the world come here! America also has the best universities in the world".
Having a small group of 7ft tall people does not mean that your average country fellow is 7ft tall.
What country allows free tuition for American(foreign) students? I'm with you about leaving if I had the dough and the chance, but from what I have gathered you have to be a resident to get their schooling.
Most of them did up until 2009. Now citizenship is often required. Still, I'd happily renounce my US citizenship for a country that gives a fuck about its citizens.
As would I, if the opportunity arose. Guess I am a few years later for grad school abroad, but the situation here is so nepotistic and corporatist to the point of sickness. No promoting the general welfare, no safety net, no community, no education; just sink or swim here. Of the people by the people for the people? If it ever was, it is certainly not anymore.

Tuition hikes in Cal. Hmmm.... Imagine that. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact the state is BROKE and toying with the reality of BANKRUPCY. Tax and spend anyone?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
HAHA! I like the sign "UAW: Education is a Right" At least 95% of UAW workers never even went to college. You want to talk about rights, read the Declaration of Independence or Constitution. Do they still teach this in school? Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. These are RIGHTS which you are born with and held to be self-evident. A right cannot be given, it can only be taken away. Therefore, Healthcare, Education are NOT rights. When people must provide resources and labor.
Agreed! From my experience as a recent grad, it appears that academic freedom (the very cornerstone of a liberal arts education) has been replaced by leftist indoctrination
They are acting like they have a right to that money, or like it was their money in the first place. You do not have the right to somebody else's money! If you need the money, get a loan! If an education is not worth that much to you, don't go to college. If it is, pay with your own damn money.
This is how it all starts. You go to college and get stuck with huge debt. You end up in a job you hate. Accidentally knock some chick up and have to marry her.Debt continues to go up. Then you snap and go on a homicidal rampage at your office and then kill yourself.
Coming from a grad student and alum from one of the most liberal universities in america, I can tell you in my experience that the leftist mantra seems to follow: Indoctrinate, tax, dont run on a budget (maybe why tuition is rising), and then limit opportunity by discouraging people from pursuing their dream through educational debt and taxes... but dont worry tax and spend works, just look at the 'stimulus.' Trillions of dollars later, only a jump from 5-10% unemployment over the year
Actually unemployment went from 8.7 % when Obama took office to 10.2 % .It is now at 9.7 %. these numbers are really bullshit because everyone knows that they are grossly deflated.However every administration plays the same game with numbers.
Were expected to pay 5 yrs for acar, 10-20 yrs for your student loan and 30 yrs for your house and if your lucky health insurance with every check. This nation has done nothing but breed credit slaves.
@workingclasssociety ,this question is such than in the future everyone will have to confront, it , I'll try to explain it without loosing my temper, Wall street has a total monopoly of the stocks (money) of all educational systems , hence when all the educational systems . go broke such systems and since or were are they dependent on the ponzy schem . simple all moneys have and owned by the wall street. poncy echim. shit mother fucker sound jewheshi.
Cenk looks more pathetic than his usual self , pretending that he's on the move, while his real motivation is to be in the main press .bullshitter motherfucker all the way , this fuck could get a job on fox news tomorrow , no trouble at all.
College costs are rising but most of these protests are at elite or ivy schools where a year costs 50k+, there are plenty of private and public colleges that have affordable schooling. I was going to go to U of M in Minneapolis to finish my medical degree but the local tech college in western Wisconsin where I live has the same degree program for 1/4 the price and smaller classrooms. College costs need to come down, half the pentagon budget would help, but too many seem entitled to a top college
Cal states have been traditionally dirt cheap for a long time now considering all things because they are heavily subsidized by the taxpayers. Now this economy is total shit and the money is not there anymore. So what's the solution? Tax more?
thats crazy. How does anyone in the USA go to school?? There is no way an 18 year old fresh out of high school can earn that while in school. The highest it goes in Canada, for schools in provinces that do not have fee caps or regulations, is like 15k per year, and its generally agreed that is rediculous.
Yes, dmtrujillo17 has it about right. Community and technical colleges are cheaper though, about 8-12k a year, still more than Canada's superior system. In places like Norway and Sweden everyone gets 4 years of college free, nations that fund education like that will be the leaders of the future in most areas. The US is like that hot nightclub everyone wants to go to, but after it's been worn down, pissed and shit all over it becomes more of a nuisance and the neighborhood burns the fucker down.

You know what the weird part about all that is? All I see in the media about USA schools is stuff about frat houses and massive drunk parties. I have been in university for 6 years (long story was aiming for 5 >.>), and have only been to 2 university parties and they had security and were on campus, and there are neither frats, nor sororities. I think its because here its the students paying for it (cause they can) and so they value it more and so actually study.
Cal States would go for around 4-6K per year.. which isn't that bad. Private schools like UCLA you could expect 20k 40K or so. Either way California students have no room to whine about tuition increases. Our state is beyond broke. We have the highest unemployment and the government is totally unwilling to lay off any government workers. We also have the highest taxes on just about everything. If it wasn't for my love of good weather & surf I'd fly out of this joint pronto.
hot damn, do you think that people are finally going to catch on about what the far-left idiots have done to America,..go get lots of hanging rope and star doing all the progressives?? I hope so
I have said all along that America going to China to borrow money to hand out by the many billions each yr in foreign aid, for example, is sheer insanity. Finally, the chickens ARE indeed coming home to roost as Rev Wright suggests
good justice to see hot beds of progressive thinking going down
Gee I was thinking the same about far-right dirtbags. After all it was Ronald Reagan who undone the social programs like the G.I. Bill & mental health, it was Ronald Reagan who created the modern deficit, & it was Ronald Reagan who cut taxes to the ultra-wealthy by AT LEAST 50%.
You can take conservative thinking & shove it up a donkey's hindquarters. It's unfortunate that President Obama refuses to be a TRUE change agent against this far-right insanity.
Hey dumbass, did you know the largest loans made by China that were put toward the US economy were from 1998-2006, 6 of those were Bush years. Get it through your thick skull, the parties mean nothing, you either stand with improving this nation by being a independent progressive or you play the same old same old game and our kingdom goes out like a flame. It's the jackasses you support most that have fucked this country up, go figure jim bob.
I think technology is changing education.....c++ is the same in any school anywhere...it's still c++...why pay more.......self learning....that's how Bill Gates did it.
Basically the students want other people's money and are protesting the laws of economics.
Government subsidization is why college cost so much, so if the students were receiving an actual education, they would lobby government to stop student loan subsidization so colleges wouldn't have the increased demand to leverage into higher prices.
Anna is right, most people don't give a shit until it affects their own life or pocket book. When someone else is getting the shaft they ignore it and say "oh well, thats his problem". But that all changes when they get the shaft, then they say "oh, this is sooo unfair, they can't get away with this".
How many people were actually into politics before the recession hit? This is why I say fuck most average voters. Retard shits go around saying "politics is boring lalala" but now they wanna cry like a bunch of bitches.
Exactly!! This is why the US and the world is the way it is. No ones gives a shit about anyone else until they have too suffer. In part, it's the same attitude that caused the recession and ultimately why we (Americans) are in this situation.
My question is will electing someone new make a difference? It seems that ALL politicians have their pockets filled with the hands of the top 2% corporations? Further more, people are being misinformed and make poor election choices.
And that brings me to another issue. Too many people are too lazy to research and instead only vote for someone if they say they are democrat of repub. It is stupid. But sometimes I think maybe the population deserves this for being so willfully ignorant. "durr politics is unimportant and doesnt effect me durr durr!!!" Now a lot of people who are at my school all of a sudden know everything about politics. Funny how that works. Recessions seem to be like a hard open handed smack to peoples faces
Preach on my friend! Pure ignorance is one issue. However, there's a generational gap. It's only been 20 or so years since the public gained access to the internet. This is technology older generations didn't have and don't want to deal with. Also, it's not easy to find unbiased sources where one can obtain accurate and TRUE information. However, you're right. Laziness is ahuge contributer.
College isn't expensive because the taxpayers aren't paying enough. It's expensive because the colleges and universities are just as greedy as big corporations, and for decades, all the sheeple have been gladly paying their outrageous fees!
Two wars, major transformations in our government, and the one thing to get today's youth off their selfish ass is tuition hikes? I want to know what these kids actually want. State government have to balance their budget, what would these protesters do? The money aint there.
I simply can't support this type blind protesting by a bunch of clueless hacks crying over losing money when we all are suffering. Wake up; the sh!t hit the fan & we are all covered in it. Offer some solutions
as I said on another post, people only care about themselves. "Politics is boring" 8 long Bush years later "WHAT? Government is corrupt?!!!" People are too fucking stupid to care until they cannot afford their house, now all of a sudden EVERYONE hates Republicans or Democrats and point fingers at who caused everything not realizing that "Hurr de hurr politics is boring i wanna watch football" mentality fucked everyone from the start.
Well my $2500ish a semester is tuition alone (so it doesn't include the many other fees), but I'm also at one of the 'middle-ground' unis here (not terrible like some of the schools, but not terribly expensive like say University of Toronto or whatever),
Someone could expect to spend $18,000 plus if they're in a more expensive field. But yeah... I get your point. Lucky I'm here.
Glad i live in Florida. The average idiot resident gets 75% of their tuition paid for. The average tuition is already less than half the national average.
Its so expensive because of Government backed loans, grants, and deferred payments. When government throws money at something and consumers dont realize the costs of their behavior prices go up.
Get rid of all these government programs and watch college tuition collapse, it will have no choice. They will have to lower prices in order to meet consumer household income.
Its been a long time coming. It shows there are still some students in The U.S with a brain. This situation would have never happened in France. The students would have destroyed everything. There is no such thing as a peaceful protest. When you don't scare politicians, nothing good ever happens. Again, ask the french about effective protests
You cant fight against the people in France, no matter who you are. Even homeless people protest everytime they feel that they are being wronged so everything just has to stop. America can learn a thing or two from the french. There is a reason why one associates "Revolution" with France.
You got the revolution from us. If we didn't put France into so much debt paying for the American revolution. There probably wouldn't have been a French revolution. Have that cake.
bingo! What works for one country doesn't mean that it will work for another country. The French government is obviously a lot more easily swayed with violence; whereas, American government's reaction to all violent problems is more violence or just play the blame game.
because the french government remembers history. The french people remembered the history of their country and the french revolution. Americans on the other hand dont care until the sh!t hit the fan and they are affected by the outcome. If people stood up before things happens then there wouldnt have been any crying. Look on the Iraq war? Where are the protesters?
Everywhere. At least where I live (around UCI), Iraq war protesters are freaking everywhere. But americans just don't resort to violence since the government would respond with violence and the media would start calling the protesters crazy liberal hippies, which doesn't help get the job done. I mean, peaceful protests work in some cases like India's liberation, for example. Not everything can be solved by violence.
The same people who tell us college education is necessary are the same who are responsible for tuition hikes. It's a giant scam of which Bernie Madoff would be proud. Lets brake it. Look at other options: real life, apprenticeship, trade school, study abroad. With the tuition so high you will better off with any other option.
school is a buisness thats why many college/uni spends on college sports. The founders of universities and schools did it for free yet we the people has to spend thousands and go in debt. Well i guess if it was free or cheap some will label it as communist or marxist.
@MassLiberal1 ,@MassLiberal1 , I'm an organic farmer from massachusetts , fuck, , people here they aren't usually that fucking dumb , I have read your posts and they are consistently retrograde or just pointlessly dumb, don't you know that college sports is a big "sport" business, BILLIONS on profit for some obscure fucking conglomerate , while taxpayers fork the bill,
College sports have nothing to do w/ college. They're for the idiots who didn't go to school and the alumni who stopped caring. Besides, at Cal it's blowing a huge hole in the budget but the school refuses to cut back even though they're losing money w/ their football program. Plus only pro sports are interesting.
I totally agree. My parents and I really don't want to get a loan.but now we're thinking of doing so since tuition is going up. My 5 classes last semester cost $6000.....it's too much.
That's fucking sick and totally outrageous. I live in the Netherlands. Cost example:
Quality public university: 1670euro's/year
Basic universal healthcare: 85-95 euro's month (this is the minimum you're 'forced' to get)
Basic+dental+extra various extra coverage: 115-125euro's month.
Social democracy just beat the USA. Unfortunately, Obama does not want reform, we know it by know. If I'd be an American, I'd vote Obama, but he's just faking you now man. I feel for you guys, seriously.
I completely agree. I do think Obama has the plans laid out, but it won't go as plan if both parties don't come together in making it happen. I do believe deep down he'll do all he can. Right now, we're stuck with what we got here which is sad and stressful.
Thanks for the comment hun.
I hope for a miracle. I hope to have a job and be able to afford to stay in school.
I saw this and feel like they students did the right thing in protesting. I'd be pissed off if tuition increased at the college I attend and can't afford going to school. It's really a shame that education has to cost an arm and a leg. I'm going back to a community college to save up for Fall semester. Not every child comes from a rich family, and I'm still looking for a job. It's not easy and not fair.
Social democracy is often misunderstood as "communism"
Social democracy is basically forcing everyone to get healthcare and go to school (etc.) but at the same time you offer AFFORDABLE decent quality schools+healthcare, which you are able to do, because everyone is involved and you get quantity benefits leading to lower costs.
The con: a BIT lower personal freedom, but that's COMPLETELY outweighed by getting decent healthcare+education at a low cost.
All the people thinking the so called 'personal liberty' is more important than having affordable healthcare+schools, and the richest x % of the people in the USA, because they can pay for it anyway and they don't want to pay higher taxes. They're just greedy assholes that don't care about the rest. "Personal liberty/freedom" are the words they hide behind.
Higher tuition, lower quality service - what's happening in Minnesota private high schools is that seats are going unfilled. Schools got on the tuition gravy train and were hooked; now they are giving away tuition support just to fill up their classrooms.

I literally don't know what to do because I can barely stay afloat as it is. So I may not be at this school next year, to be honest.

Where's the appreciation? When somebody pays your way for something, your express gratitude (good people do anyways), and you don't throw a tissy if that person goes broke and can't continue to pay for the thing that you should be paying yourself in the first place. Do these people not understand that the money they receive is taken from people, often against their will? They should thank the tax payer and ask nicely for more charity, not act like it's owed to them, because it isn't.

Hey this really hit home for me. I have been trying to get into San Francisco State for over a year. Last year I had to pay out of pocket to get classes (that I could even get into). Out of last semester, I think students lost I want to say 6 days out of their classes due to furlough days. I thankfully got in for the fall semester but there was a very real danger that I wouldn't have, for I had heard that they weren't accepting anymore students, and rolling back the application deadlines.

Equality mean bringing the top down, not the bottom up. To achieve "equality" in education, for example, schools would have to teach at the level of the person with the least learning capacity. Otherwise, people would be getting a better education than him/her, and that would be unequal. "Equality" is one of those words that sounds good, but will never happen because it doesn't exist. But I guess we can all pretend that it does and go broke trying to achieve it. To the bottom everyone!

HAHA! I like the sign "UAW: Education is a Right" At least 95% of UAW workers never even went to college. You want to talk about rights, read the Declaration of Independence or Constitution. Do they still teach this in school? Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. These are RIGHTS which you are born with and held to be self-evident. A right cannot be given, it can only be taken away. Therefore, Healthcare, Education are NOT rights. When people must provide resources and labor.

They are acting like they have a right to that money, or like it was their money in the first place. You do not have the right to somebody else's money! If you need the money, get a loan! If an education is not worth that much to you, don't go to college. If it is, pay with your own damn money.

Trillions of dollars later, only a jump from 5-10% unemployment over the year

Are Universities run by the government?

Welcome to the Netherlands!
Social democracy is often misunderstood as "communism"
Social democracy is basically forcing everyone to get healthcare and go to school (etc.) but at the same time you offer AFFORDABLE decent quality schools+healthcare, which you are able to do, because everyone is involved and you get quantity benefits leading to lower costs.
The con: a BIT lower personal freedom, but that's COMPLETELY outweighed by getting decent healthcare+education at a low cost.

All the people thinking the so called 'personal liberty' is more important than having affordable healthcare+schools, and the richest x % of the people in the USA, because they can pay for it anyway and they don't want to pay higher taxes. They're just greedy assholes that don't care about the rest. "Personal liberty/freedom" are the words they hide behind.

Higher tuition, lower quality service - what's happening in Minnesota private high schools is that seats are going unfilled. Schools got on the tuition gravy train and were hooked; now they are giving away tuition support just to fill up their classrooms.

not true anna, anyone that goes for office can lie and get money (Obama). They can easily replace anyone with any schmuck that wants the money.
