Wow. You've really built a protective dome over yourself to keep the facts and reasoning out, haven't you? And then, safe and cozy under your dome, you've created an alternate reality, and decided to broadcast your reality to us.

Hurry Barr, hurry!!!

I think we agree to some extent on the effect that easy money has -- to keep the cost propped up. But I think we may disagree on which came first. In my opinion, the schools (competing with each other and marketing to kids) bounced their costs up. Lesser schools followed in behind the leaders and so on down the line. This made the cost go up across the board. Only when people started to notice the precipitous rise did the government step in to increase funding programs that already existed. Please also note that my opinion is purely anecdotal at this point.

Just because colleges can jack up tuition doesn’t mean they ought to. I may be wrong (and I haven’t looked it up in a long time), but it is my impression that most private schools don’t reinvest their endowments into subsidizing tuition across the board. Schools charge tuition, kids pay for books and room and board, they hock for alumni donations. I could easily believe that the annual income far exceeds their expenses. I get it that they don’t need to do it. I get it that they are mostly for-profit institutions. However, most every school capitalizes on the general perception that every kid must have a college degree. They compete with each other to sell the social experience just as much, if not more, than the educational experience, and they market all this to 18 year old kids. Easy college loan money isn’t supply and demand relative to tuition increases, it is (a factor in) cause and effect. Supply for a college education is plentiful, at all levels of quality and experience. Someone buying a car that he can’t afford may not get the car he’s looking to buy because, oddly enough, it is more difficult to get cheap financing for a car purchase. This is why automobile prices haven’t shot up disproportunately to other goods — while the cost of a college education has.

The cost of healthcare should have been tackled long before health insurance was addressed. The fact that neither party has chosen to do anything about it, and pay only lip service to the issue, should say everything about how little they want to make those changes. Every private college trustee board should also be investigated as well. There's no reason why the cost of higher education has skyrocketed out of line with the basic cost of living in this country.

If it was truly an honorable system, coaches would honor the paper they put their signature on. And I agree about the players being free to move without the sit-out.

Then the NFL goes international without having to actually move a team. Brilliant!! I would also propose that anyone who doesn't vote for you must move to New Jersey. Edit: and then invade New Jersey and make them pay 80% of their wages to the Treasury.

Fooled me. I should have known better.

Whatever team does this, I think it is a smart move. Especially the three teams mentioned where each one has an established guy who isn't going anywhere this year (except maybe the Giants).

I thought he just signed an extension? That does suck.

Tie them into 50 pound bundles and put one bundle with each of your neighbors' trash one late night.

No. She's got balls.

John Batchelor -- though he's most certainly not limited to Trump/Collusion/Russia. Andrew McCarthy's articles have been spot on all the way through.

No State would turn it down, but no Federal Administration should consider such cronyism unless they want every other group of "underappreciated civil servants" showing up with their demands. Yes. This is 100% true. Amazing how, so early in the process, the candidates are playing leapfrog to the left of each other. Soon there's going to be nothing left to give away to voters.

Was is a gharry, a hackney, or a hansom?

The Federal Government doesn't have jurisdiction over school teachers' pay.

In this case, the only important color is Green. If I were him, I wouldn't ever set foot in Chicago again.

Yeah, fact checking in the media. That's dead. And fact checking by Schiff, Nadler & Cummings is officially a joke.

Cheers bro.

Hurry Mueller, hu...wait, what?

I don't think anyone noticed, but during all the commotion of this past weekend, Gillibrand announced her candidacy. Nice judgment exhibited right there on her part -- especially since she already announced it on March 17th. Yesterday announcement: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kirsten-gillibrand-presidential-announcement-democratic-primary-trump-hotel-new-york_n_5c97da3be4b0a6329e180a82 March 17 announcement: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/im-running-president-york-sen-kirsten-gillibrand-formally/story?id=61732255 Oh WAIT!!, she also announced back in January: https://www.npr.org/2019/01/15/678292493/new-york-sen-kirsten-gillibrand-announces-2020-presidential-run Maybe she will announce her candidacy every Sunday until someone, anyone, notices.

Are the fields lit up at night? Maybe arrange to get the Rec Board to use some of its new found $$ to light up the field -- increasing its availability. Maybe you can also find some electrician who wants to do the job cheap for some free advertising. Don't waste your time going to a State representative for a Town matter. There's probably not a lot of crossover between those jurisdictions.

If he put it on a hot god roll, would it even be considered a sandwich? Sometimes there should be "eye-for-an-eye" justice. This is a good example.
