GREED IN AMERICA???????????



All you hear from the lapdog media and the liberals is, "the Greedy Rich" and the "Greedy Corporations".   But why aren't you hearing from another "Greedy" entity.   COLLEGES……

All you hear about from the Liberals and the media is, how the republicans don't care about the interest rates students have to pay.  But you do hear how the liberals will save the day and keep the rates low…..

Well all that is fine and dandy, but back to my point of the "Greedy Colleges".

OK, the typical Harvard education is somewhere in the neighborhood of $175,000.00.  Now if Obama hadn't saved the day, here is what this education would have cost you if you had a loan for 10 years:

    Amount                                                                                    amount paid back over 10 years

$175,000.00       @           (projected rate      6.8%)        =                       $241,682.00

Now this would be the cost because Obama saved the day….

$175,000.00       @           (Obama rate          3.4%)         =                      $206,678.00

So, with Obama keeping the rates down, he saved each student,              $35,004.00



Well, that's great!   But what does this have to do with "Greedy Colleges"?

…This, since Obama became president, college tuition has gone up 25%....

That means that the cost of that $175,000.00 tuition, if you remove the 25% increase, would be $140,000.00….
Lets look at what would happen with this tuition cost at the 6.8% interest rate.

$140,000.00    @       6.8%                 =                        $193,335.00 over 10 years…..

That would save students  $13, 343.00 more than what Obama can do by keeping the interest rate down and about $48,000.00 from the high rate and the 25% increase in tuition.

My question is, why are these Greedy Colleges continuing to raise tuition?….Don't they know that education is the most important thing to our youth?…..Why are they putting profits above the education of our children?….

My goodness, how dare they raise their costs to be able to pay the bills….
