Right, because Europe is in the shitter, because people have free College and Healthcare... oh wait.

I don't get it, what's the problem of having a Free Education especially for a higher level learning?

You people do realize that other countries, especially in Europe provide their own citizen with a free College tuition right? Hell, they even pay the students to attend colleges.

When you think about it, if the government started to dig deep for higher education, we'd have people like this bell-end in jobs of power that they shouldn't be in, commanding salaries they don't deserve. Any Joe Bloggs could come off the street and get university qualifications without actually doing anything, the market would be flooded. But then again, look at the Occupy movement now, nonexistent, they weren't in it for the long haul with their "cause", why trust them with meaningful jobs?

1% of the population serves in the military; if you call that "almost forced" and and feel you should be able to get 4 years of education that, on an average salary, can make you millions during your lifetime and give you 20-30 years of retirement, all for free or cheap, well...let's just say you're pretty much fucked for life.

You are the moron in this video aren't ya?

They are going to completely shift our nation from higher education to dumb-luck street business. I don't fucking like that.

They still to this day charge exorbitant fees knowingly and for the only purpose of causing interest on long-term failures to pay.

You sell someone a product it is the same as selling them anything. They sold these kids a package for his future and they KNEW that they were overcharging and that the current economy and projected future economy would NOT sustain him. They basically guaranteed themselves that a certain amount of these kids would go into a debt spiral and they had 100% chance to profit off our youth.

BTW to answer why they should pay for his car...they sold him a shitty fucking piece of trash that lasted only 10 miles on the road before complete engine failure. They promised him at least 200,000 miles and a comfortable future. They charged him over 100,000 dollars and now they claim that it was fair business. Good enough?

Did I answer this asshole Brit's questions? I hope so. The video was a bad example of what we stand for.
