American tax dollars spent on education are meant to support students, not support aggressive, deceptive, and misleading marketing campaigns by certain for-profit education companies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That just doesn't make sense, that government should be making money off students.
Our obsessive focus on college schooling has blinded us to basic truths. College is a place, not a magic formula. It matters what subjects students study, and subsidies should focus on the subjects that matter the most - not to the students, but to everyone else.
A greater tax deduction for students is not a handout. On the contrary, it helps those who are willing to meet the challenges of higher education to invest in our collective future.
Every dollar spent on education should go toward helping our teachers teach and our students learn.
When it comes to college education, American families are paying more and getting less.
We should be trying to make education less expensive, not more.
Students often approached me about state-paid tuition while I was out campaigning. After I explained to them that if the state pays their tuition now, they will pay higher taxes to pay other people's tuition for the rest of their lives, most of them ended up agreeing with me.
I believe the American people are entitled to some straight talk when it comes to higher education funding.
While Obama might not push college education exclusively, like most Democrats he does oversell it and does shortchange the alternatives. And millions of young Americans pay the price.
The amount of money we spend on education is important, but not nearly as important as how the money is spent.
