<p>Marquette</a> Poll: Overwhelming support for tuition freeze at UW - JSOnline</p>

[billywesty]

<p>I forwarded this link to my parents and my dad’s comment was that it was too bad that the Marquette poll didn’t ask if people would like a tuition freeze at Marquette as well (my sister goes there). hahaha</p>

<p>And there it is.</p>

<p>Not that it’s going to help me any, because D2 graduated last week, but I didn’t see anything in that article about OOS tuition increases being curbed at all. Did I miss something? All I got between 2009-2013 was at least a 5% hike per annum and that (what now seems cockamamie) Madison Initiative deal tacked onto my bill.</p>

<p>From the article: Rep. Cory Mason, D-Racine: “When I talked to people who are upset about this, they’re upset that the UW overcharged them for tuition for the surplus.”</p>

<p>How much of that overcharge is now nondischargeable student loan debt that will financially cripple those students for a decade or even longer after graduation? What a shame.</p>

<p>Apropos in this thread…

The Millennials have entered adulthood in a era characterized by permanent low-intensity wars and central-bank/state managed financial bubbles–2001 to the present. In other words, the only experience they have is of centralized state mismanagement on a global scale.</p>

<p>The gross incompetence of the government and central bank–not to mention the endless power grabs by these centralized authorities–has not yet aroused a political consciousness that the system is irrevocably broken, not just for older generations but most especially for them. </p>

<p>Since 1970, college tuition and fees have risen 1,120%, five times the Consumer Price Index increase.</p>

<p>Since the Federal government issues and guarantees all student loans, the higher education cartel is (like sickcare, national defense and the mortgage industry) effectively socialized, i.e. funded and managed by the central state. </p>

<p>The central state is not your friend, it is your oppressor. The loan shark that won’t let you discharge your student loan debt without appealing each ruling against you three times is the government (and its hired-gun proxies).</p>

<p>The oppressor who demands you work your entire life to pay interest on public debt squandered on neocolonial wars and various cartels (sickcare et al.) is your central state.</p>

<p>The entity who demands you pay higher taxes so the generation entering retirement gets all that it was promised, even though the world has changed and the promises are no longer sustainable? The central state.</p>

<p>The oppressor that will devote its enormous resources to investigate and crush you if you actively resist the bankers and financiers who pull the political lackeys’ strings? The central state.
