The most the Republicans can do is hope for control of house to be maintained. I’m totally sick of American politics. You mention that Christie is Catholic. That should not matter but it does. Unfortunately, we still want our presidents and politicians to say “and God Bless America” after every speech in order to elect them!

Think about it and do some research.

]]> Comment on Freeloaders in the Southern Tier by American http://cornellinsider.com/2012/04/13/freeloaders-in-the-southern-tier/#comment-5899 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 22:11:54 +0000 http://cornellinsider.com/?p=7131#comment-5899 This article is preposterous and violates many positions of the great Democratic Party. The poor, regardless of condition, should be provided with housing and food. Also, it is imperative that all basic survival necessities of Americans must be met. Why should not the rich be taxed further? They more than adequate monetary resources; wealth should be spread among Americans. The writer of this article is clearly a puppet of the industrial complex and could care less about the rotting and dying poor. What a shame.

]]> Comment on GAO Report Called Out By For-Profit Colleges by Phil L http://cornellinsider.com/2011/01/14/gao-report-called-out-by-for-profit-colleges/#comment-5875 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 05:28:23 +0000 http://cornellinsider.com/?p=4914#comment-5875 This is really funny. All colleges and universities are for profit. Some disguise themselves as non-profit, but until professors, deans and university presidents are volunteers, there will only be ‘for profit’ educational institutions. And these days, almost all students except the financially elite (due to 47k annual tuition at Cornell) must take loans and forfeit their future salary to pay their tuition. So really it comes down to a financial decision, a very simple NPV calculation where you take the 4 years of tuition negative cash flows, interest rates, and then add the projected future earnings with margins for probability to come up with a positive or negative NPV. Unfortunately, some students are swindled and don’t do a careful analysis to balance the costs with prospective employment. In the end it is the student’s decision to take the loan and choose the school. No one is forcing them to borrow money. Perhaps you can say, students must go to college in order to get a job at all? That’s another can of worms. I call it education inflation. Before you could get a high school diploma, then it was college degree… now its master’s degree… So, isn’t education a business? Are people getting paid to work at universities regardless of whether they call themselves non-profit or for profit?
