Student loan interest rates do not start at 8%

 

[ItIsOkBro]

You can hear it in the audience....."what does refinance my debt mean, should I clap..?!"

political science...she had no chance.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I believe one reason interest rates are so high for student loans is because the government profits off it.

Do I need to show you a map? It's North Africa. It was part of the ottoman empire. Not the middle east.

Being located somewhere doesn't mean it's not part of the Middle East, the Middle East is far more than an area of the World. Historically it has had fluid borders:

Before the First World War, "Near East" was used in English to refer to the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire, while "Middle East" referred to Iran, the Caucasus, Afghanistan, Central Asia, and Turkestan. In contrast, "Far East" referred to the countries of East Asia (e.g. China, Japan, Formosa, Korea, Hong Kong, etc.)

With the disappearance of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, "Near East" largely fell out of common use in English, while "Middle East" came to be applied to the re-emerging countries of the Islamic world. However, the usage "Near East" was retained by a variety of academic disciplines, including archaeology and ancient history, where it describes an area identical to the term Middle East, which is not used by these disciplines (see Ancient Near East).

The first official use of the term "Middle East" by the United States government was in the 1957 Eisenhower Doctrine, which pertained to the Suez Crisis. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles defined the Middle East as "the area lying between and including Libya on the west and Pakistan on the east, Syria and Iraq on the North and the Arabian peninsula to the south, plus the Sudan and Ethiopia."[15] In 1958, the State Department explained that the terms "Near East" and "Middle East" were interchangeable, and defined the region as including only Egypt, Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar.[19]

is there a reason to believe that colleges would become shittier if they became tuition free?

Oh god, I'm so fucked.

Did the person in the audience ask what Hillary can do to pay off her debt and pay for her PHD program?

If you're paying for your PHD you're doing it wrong.

I went back to rewatch the children part. This is the high-level transcript.

*opens with clip of Hillary saying she won't deport children*
Jorge: Will you deport children?
Hillary: We want the laws to give children all of the council they need, keep families together, only violent crimincals, Obama's current policy, etc...
Jorge: Will you deport children?
Hillary: "I will not deport children. I will not deport children." - HRC
Jorge: So you won't deport children?
Hillary: "I will not." - HRC
Jorge: So you will stop deportations for children.
Hillary "Yes. I want to see them on a path to citizenship." - HRC
Jorge: "Bernie, will you deport children?"
Bernie: "I don't think the Secretary answered your question..."

Forgive me if you were being sarcastic.

Is that real?

If you're paying for your PHD you're doing it wrong.

To be fair the PhD stipend is no where near enough to pay off a substantial debt and live.

If you're paying for your PHD you're doing it wrong.

I think it must've been about her student debt from her bachelors?

Oh god, I'm so fucked.

I have a BS in it. About to complete my second BS in Computer Science. I'll let you guess why...

Bernie's gonna payferit.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

is there a reason to believe that colleges would become shittier if they became tuition free?

It's not like requirements and standards would go out the window. They'd still compete for the best students. Just money wouldn't be a barrier of entry.

COUGH

 

[Ekai]

Sorry Bernie I like you but some of your socialist views would bankrupt this country.

It's about implementation. Widening the income inequality has already ruined this country. And Republican economic policies have only continued to ruin things for the lower classes. The burden under Bernie's economic views shifts the issue to the upper class who have consistently avoided taxes for their own gain and addresses the income inequality gap at hand here.

We need people like Bernie making these arguments because America's economy and general "prosperity of the American Dream" is fucked until then. We've let Repubs fuck this country over for decades now and the only recovery is a massive reversal of who is paying the debts. Hell, more income for the individual means we won't have a working poor class anymore. Jobs should not be a prison. The worker having more income means more money will go back into the system itself as they will actually have more to spend. The rich hording everything isn't helping our countries finances at all.

 

[Dopus]

You mean Hillary answering a question about Gaddafi asked of her, and not butting in on a response about a terrorist tragedy?

You really think her answer was appropriate upon hearing the news of the death of Gaddafi? Okay then.

Everything is Wall Street. Wall Street is everything. God, this is tiring.

"It will no longer happen", you want to bet on that Hillary lol.

Polisci majors actually tend to do pretty well, but the PhD route isn't too lucrative.

Hillary delivering that ether.

Debt free tuition has been a part of Hillary's platform from the very beginning. What is Bernie talking about?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Oh god, I'm so fucked.

I'm just joking...probably.

Yeah, didn't get that either.

 

[M0nochromatic]

is there a reason to believe that colleges would become shittier if they became tuition free?

Depends on how it's handled honestly. The education could remain high, but the actual value of holding a degree could lower. It's a complicated question.
