First the government caps tuition increases for students, and next thing you know they'll want to try to restrict your access to semi-automatic howitzers, cluster bombs, and atomic weapons . . .
. . . it's called a slippery slope, libs! Wake the fuck up!!! . . .
The kids just learn to hate America in college anyway. Fuck 'em.
If we limit tuition increases to 6%, how will we pay for all those positions at Colorado Mesa University?
LOL This is the comment of the day.
To any Coloradans who voted these despicable, slimy GOP assholes, and to all who sat on their thumbs pissing and moaning that "all politicians are crooks," or who decided they were "just too busy," I say:
SUCK. IT.
May the most punishing aspects of all the vile, contemptible things the CO GOP is about to unleash on our state fall first. foremost and most painfully upon YOUR homes. YOUR jobs, YOUR futures, YOUR retirements, and YOUR loved ones (except for your very young children, who shouldn't be made to pay for your sorry, ignorant, selfish and/or lazy asses).
It's weird that tuition caps used to be a conservative method of handling higher ed affordability that was opposed to raising financial aid. During the Owens years, there was a much stricter cap on tuition increases since schools didn't routinely receive waivers. Of course, without state funding, schools proceeded to screw students directly through fees and privatized services that weren't capped or subsidized.
It's a whole new landscape now that conservatives find themselves cashing in on universities and aren't routinely trying to clear out those liberal hotbeds.
As R's lost most of the "social war" issues these last several years, a new political strategy came to them almost by accident druing the budget fights of the Obama years: forcing sequential crises on a given subject while agitating their base on one or more related issues.
That is what they are doing here. They've done it on the budget at the national level, and now have Social Security in their sights. We should also be aware of the obvious, though maybe not explicit, coordination of actions on similar issues at the local and national levels.
They are breaking our democracy one bone at a time.
