[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are getting away with some very fuzzy wording, in may mind. Their idea of "demonstrated need" involves loans, definitely. Then they come away feeling good about themselves, but meanwhile they have saddled my child with loans she will have for year to come! I will say that the FAFSA calculator is pretty darn eye opening as to what they think we as parents are supposed to be able to contribute. I don't know how they think it's gonna happen, but for us with a combined income of just over 200K and another child in college, they expect us to contribute $30K per year for our rising college student. And they offered her $1K in work study and $5K in student loans. Total BS.[/quote]

You actually sound awful. Why didn’t you save more for college? 30k a year on a 200k HHI seems like a bargain. I don’t care if you have 3 kids in college. [b]You decided to have the number of kids you did and how to space them out. [/b]Now you are complaining that you have to pay for college? [/quote]
Ever heard of having unplanned multiples?[/quote]
LOL I was thinking the same thing.  No, I didn't exactly get the opportunity to plan them out.[/quote]

Selective reduction and abortion are options.   You may not have planned it, but you made the CHOICE to continue with your pregnancy.[/quote]
Totally. Should have killed one off to afford that $80K college tuition. Without that, you sealed their fate of becoming a failure, anyway, so might as well not even have been born. Life without T-10 is not a life worth living. [/quote]

PP you quoted here.

Well I don't believe that at all.  I'm actually pro-life.   But the majority wants CHOICE, and with the option of CHOICE, you need to bear the consequences of that choice.  [/quote]

The majority wants choice AND wants our taxes to support meaningful things that help our lives like higher education so that it's actually affordable rather than an ever-expanding military and low corporate tax rates.[/quote]

Military has seen [b]huge reductions[/b], not increases and enlisted are paid very poorly.[/quote]

Not to pull the thread off-track, but nope:

And it's still far higher than many other large countries combined:
