[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is amazing that all of us are falling for blaming each other, rather than blaming a rigged system, which is the real problem. It is like working class people and new immigrants complaining about who gets or deserves Medicaid or food stamps while the 1% laughs and counts their money.

The problem isn't that upper middle class people aren't saving enough. It is that a corrupt higher ed system has no restraint on its pricing and acts more like Gucci than a public good, despite claiming non-profit status and accepting tons of government funding.

The student loan industrial complex has supported this, and rather than keeping tuition affordable schools are building luxury amenities that we all managed to do without in the 80s and 90s. Yet they outsource teaching to adjuncts who make poverty-level wages. And now there's a sticker price vs some opaque real cost that involves the equivalent of haggling with a used car salesman.

But sure, point the finger at someone who makes $50k more than you. [/quote]

I agree so much. 
Got a great education with real professors teaching my classes at JMU, in the 1990s. I can't believe how much wasteful fancy crap these colleges spend money on, charge a fortune, and the kids aren't even taught by professors. [/quote]
