a girl close to me called me this morning, she lives in a red county and she was crying because her fellow college students were all celebrating Trump's victory, but she and her other girls (very few) were saddened. they were mainly worried about college being unaffordable. I guess they heard somewhere that college would be more expensive over Trump.
They also heard that Trump is completely pro-life. these young college girls just wanna be hoes with no consequences i guess.
but is it true that Trump is gonna make college MORE unaffordable? Could've sworn it got worse under Bush, Obama, and Biden..... and almost all colleges are controlled by the deep state democrats anyway....
Subsidies make college more costly. The unis raise their tuition accordingly.
This is also how medical and car insurance work. Guaranteed payment drives up prices.
could you elaborate more on this? what's a subsidy and it plays into it? and do you have any info on how Trump is gonna help college for the average student, not make it worse?
The college loan program is subsidized by the federal government. The unis all know what money the students can get in federal grants and LOANS, and have no incentive to keep down their costs! THEY WIN!
The students have huge loans, the taxpayers hold the bag for the repayment, the unis get whatever tuition and fees they charge, without making their offerings affordable or going to their millions of dollars of endowments.
The federal government should not be involved at all.
The unis should give out the loans to their students, and take on the burden to make a college degree actually affordable to their own students! Why are the taxpayers and federal government involved at all in a transaction between an institution and its students? One might ask . . .
Tell them to watch what Trump actually does not what others say he will do.
College is unaffordable because of all the subsidization and financing which led to tuitions far surpassing the inflation rate for many years and the wages you would get in return. There will be a time where the bill becomes due and this scam will collapse under their own weight.

It's pretty similar to how banks caused the housing crisis in 2008. Colleges opened up by being more accessible and to do this the banking sector started providing loans for education, which drove up the costs of tuitions. So not only were tuitions skyrocketing, but the education itself was getting further devalued.
I'm not aware of any direct policy on tuitions by Trump, but his policy on the dollar should be better the fact the dollar would be stronger and receiving better compensation for your work
Trump will do away with them college pukes getting free money they do not have to pay back in loans. You borrow money you have to pay it back.
Military provides education that is matched to one's abilities, in theory.
Trump will offer free online degrees and cut off federal funding to colleges. When colleges don't get free government money, they will be forced to create successful graduates, or nobody will be willing to pay them for crappy programs and degrees. Most of the expensive colleges have billions of dollars in their endowment funds. Why should a college that has $50 billion in an endowment fund get one penny in tax dollars while overcharging students for worthless degrees.
Tell your friend to look up the endowment fund of the college she attends.
