Interest free loans. This is an interesting proposal and very appealing. But IF that ever happened, the private sector would be out of the student loan business. The government would have a monopoly.<BR/><BR/>Politicians like to kill the patient to cure the disease. How about the pols addressing the rising tuition costs first?<BR/><BR/>What do you think Superhiker?RWWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345147132602206121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31670799.post-1163036458965421482006-11-08T20:40:00.000-05:002006-11-08T20:40:00.000-05:00Cowboy supplement:I just heard Charles Schumer say...Cowboy supplement:<BR/><BR/>I just heard Charles Schumer say on TV that dems were going to bring back tax deductions for tuition.RWWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345147132602206121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31670799.post-1163034174277057382006-11-08T20:02:00.000-05:002006-11-08T20:02:00.000-05:00Superhiker - Unless there was a complete re-write ...Superhiker - Unless there was a complete re-write of this blog between the time you wrote your comment and now, I can't believe you read the same thing I did.<BR/><BR/>Could you enlighten me as to what "the scalping party" is? Are you referring to indians? I live about 6 miles or so from an indian reservation - the Flathead Indian Reservation of the Salish-Kootenai Nation and I can assure you that they do not engage in scalping. I mean, they don't have the greatest barbers and hair stylists, but aside from that - no REAL scalping.<BR/><BR/>1. If you believe Spellings is a "hack" what is your reason? How did you come to this conclusion? <BR/><BR/>2. I tried to find in the blog where Vedder said republicans are to be credited with the setbacks affirmative action has received, and I couldn't find such a statement or inference. Where did that come from? It is my belief that our justice system has been the arbiter of affirmative action's slow demise.<BR/><BR/>And when you start in with adjectives like "cowardly" in your description of republicans, you just come off as another angry left-wing nut job and do a dis-service to jerk-off democrats.<BR/><BR/>3. So you don't think the republicans or Vedder are on the right track? But now that the dems have the house and (probably) the senate, you say there is little chance for real higher education reform. Is this a contradiction or a contradiction? I don't understand.RWWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345147132602206121noreply@blogger.com
