The
Fucking
Point
Is
That
A
Shitload
Of People
FUCKING DO HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE.
Including all the state university grads who falsely believe "I did it on my own. No. No you didn't, if you graduated before, say, 2000.
I got an education that was worth $50k, with a regular price of $20k, for $0. So, I didn't do it on my own. The PEOPLE supported me, to the tune of $50k (the full value of my education, including state subsidy and regular price for the student). EVERYONE ELSE who went to UT when I did got an education worth $50k for $20k...so the PEOPLE supported them to the tune of $30k.
The taxpayers of the State of Texas invested a great deal in me and my peers, whether we went on a full ride or paid full freight. That is no longer the case today. TODAY, we can support those students by....covering some of their student loan debt. In 1988, that was good policy. Today, however, it's welfarefreeloadergrapekoolaidwelfarequeen! The fucking stupidity. It burns.
