Neocon Say No to Upper Education Grants

This video is priceless. Here we got ourselves a neocon who either had mommy & daddy send him to school, or he got government grants. And while education is OK for him, it is not ok for you. Need to take him outside and shake him like a rug.

Beck: "I think this whole college thing is a scam... we're making it so easy to get, everybody can have a free education, it's meaningless to a lot of people"

1. Beck brings on a Randian to badmouth volunteering for college money?

Well, we all know what randians think of altruism.

Now if Obama was talking about giving college money away for being an selfish, egotistical douchebag asshole, Beck and his Rand loving cohort would think that the President is a saint.

2. First we are not educated enough so they have to bring in

workers from other countries to take what use to be the good jobs. Now, we are all so educated that it is meaningless. Come again , Beck?

7. He's inside the "Country Club" already.

Now he and his Rand-loving cohorts want to bolt the door.

Not too hard, really.

Until they need food and home repair.

4. Their standard issue response is:

"A college education costs about the same as a decent car." Uhm... my college costs $40,000 per year - and that's just my undergrad. With tuition rising, I'm afraid to see what Grad school will cost (and they don't have as many grants or scholarships). By the time I'm done, I guess I could own a brand new Tesla Roadster.

5. à la Tony Blair?

Free education is fine for me, but too expensive for you.

We are the only first world nation that has no means to educate it's citizens without burdening them with with debt.

America, Fuck Yeah!

6. In the case of Beck, his education was a waste.

10. To Republicans it would appear they think Education should be a Privilege

I think most on the Left feel it should be a Right or at the very least an Obligation.
