So the basics of this plan are:
1. Complain about "the radical left."
2. Whine some more about "the radical left."
3. Bitch about "Marxist maniacs and lunatics."
4. Hire people who will enforce nationalism and promote white supremacy.
5. Remove anyone who might actually accept other races, creeds, or colors.
6. Something, something job placement (like colleges don't do that).
7. Introduce the transformative idea of admissions standards and testing to graduate, because colleges also don't do that. /S
8. Prosecute anyone who doesn't support white supremacy, and take away their money.
9. Take that money and give it to white people (and presumably, straight Christian ones) as "reparations" to compensate for their victim hood.
10. Nationalism, nationalism, nationalism.
What's not to like? Plus get a free armband and a brown shirt when you matriculate!
What's your solution to college debt?
You know, I freely admit my post was nothing more than mocking the video you posted, but it was just too easy of a lift to pass up.
But since you're apparently being serious, let me ask you this: Did you seriously see a solution presented anywhere in Trump's little speech? I know you watched it with rapt attention, couldn't wait to post it here and say "take that, libs!" but you missed the fact that there wasn't any substance in it at all.
Seriously, my breakdown of his "plan" was flippant, but (if I do say so myself) pretty fucking accurate. Because it wasn't a plan at al...just a series of words strung together with lots of bitching but nothing concrete. The only thing which might qualify as a solution is that Fragilego Mussolini wants to appoint some sort of oversight board to remake higher education into...something that doesn't make him so angry?
We've already seen a version of what he wants to do, by the way. When he was President all he did to address the public education system in this country was to appoint a person whose mission in life (aside from buying yachts) is to
completely destroy the public education system and turn schools into a racket so she can buy even more yachts. Ole' Betsy Amway gave a pass to for-profit colleges that ripped off students by selling them an overpriced education that didn't do shit to get them a job in the real world.
Seriously, if you buried 40,000 dollars in a hole in the ground and forgot where you left it, you'd get about as much use from your "investment" as a degree from DeVry or Carrington College, but that's what Ms. DeVos wants our higher education system to look like! But wait...there's more! Before you get the chance to fork out money to Corinthian College for a useless degree, you've gotta get through primary school, and Betsy's plan for that?
Taxpayer supported for-profit private schools! See, public schools are "socialism," what with your tax dollars going to pay public teachers working in public buildings, but where's the profit in that? Conservatives want the tax dollars to go directly into the pockets of businesses who sell education to the highest bidder (totally NOT socialism!), because the most important thing is profit...with education being a distant second. Of course, tax money going into the pockets of private enterprise isn't going to do the whole job, so we have to give tax breaks to exclusive private schools so more affluent parents can have their kids go to a place with the word "Academy" in the name and where little Ashley won't have to sit next to a kid whose parents don't make enough to afford private school! It's a win-win!
We've already seen Trump's "vision" for education. It's a grift. And you watched that video and got suckered. I'd provide some suggestions for how we can move forward with a better system, but you'd likely dismiss it as "socialism."
