<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"According to the report from the <a href="http://centerforcollegeaffordability.org/uploads/Dollarsnonsense.pdf">Center for College Affordability and Productivity</a>, the federal student aid system “contributes to skyrocketing costs, finances a wasteful academic arms race, weakens academic standards, lowers educational opportunity, and worsens the underemployment/overinvestment problem.”</blockquote>

I doubt this has any relationship to rising transportation, food or healthcare costs. <br />

In many ways this selective agonizing and hand wringing, reminds me of the European response to the killing of Palestinians in Gaza, as opposed to let us say, the killing of Yezidis in Iraq. A protest versus a yawn.

"Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things."</blockquote>

" Good afternoon, everybody. As a candidate for President, I pledged to
bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end -- for the sake of our
national security and to strengthen American leadership around the
world. After taking office, I announced a new strategy that would end
our combat mission in Iraq and remove all of our troops by the end of
2011.
As Commander-in-Chief, ensuring the success of this strategy has been
one of my highest national security priorities. Last year, I announced
the end to our combat mission in Iraq. And to date, we’ve removed more
than 100,000 troops. Iraqis have taken full responsibility for their
country’s security.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A few hours ago I spoke with Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki. I
reaffirmed that the United States keeps its commitments. He spoke of
the determination of the Iraqi people to forge their own future. We are
in full agreement about how to move forward.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
So today, I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in
Iraq will come home by the end of the year. After nearly nine years,
America’s war in Iraq will be over."</blockquote>
