This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Socialist nonsense by airborneirish
Rather than continue to throw taxpayer money at artificially inflated education cost. We ought to get the government the fuck out of this business and let the market drive down cost and improve quality as it has done and just about every goddamn thing else. Educational resources are ubiquitous. We don’t need the power of a government purchaser to incentivize spending or investment. This is a massive global industry.
Do you realize it is impossible to read the entire US tax code before it inevitably changes again? Do you think that continuing to make it more complex is sustainable?
If we want people to be able to afford education afford, housing, afford anything we need to get the fucking government out of the situation, not more into it.
