[QUOTE="smapple, post: 1494100, member: 55535"] College tuition became more expensive mostly due to inflation and government subsidy of student loans; colleges aren't nonprofit organizations, they're greedy for money too and they'll increase the price of tuition to students as long as they can pay by whatever means available including massive loans. The "corporate privatization" of public schools is only happening as a reaction to public education's unrelenting push to under achieve. If the DoE would get its act together there would be no need to privatize K-12. Total US military budget for fiscal year 2015 is to be ~$760 billion. The US is in other countries because other countries like Russia, China, and Israel are in those other countries. 9/11 wasn't about blowback, it was about Iran leading US intel by the nose to open the gates for the slaughter of Sunni muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. Good jobs left the US when it became cheaper/the smart move to outsource and invest overseas and the life goal of many citizens became just to ride the gravy train into retirement without thinking in terms of increased productivity. Unions played a part in making hiring within the US so expensive. I'm not saying get rid of unions and I can appreciate why they're needed, but the heads of organizations like the AFL-CIO and SEIU seem to be more interested in padding their own wallets and consolidating political power. US is not capitalist, it's mercantile/corporatism/crony capitalism. [/QUOTE]
