Precisely. Jordans are $200 shoes now but the quality hasn't gotten any better.

when looking at inflation, you look at the price of chicken... not of steak. |
Everything is going up or either your simply getting less for what you spend. I don't care what you say. Hell take chips for example. Lays used to be 25 cents & filled with chips. Now that sh*t is 35 cents and half air.

grants serve as money that the government will never get back. thats why.
schools do this all the time with their scholarships.
students don't need 12k loans. but they take them out anyways.
they're need based, if you're taking out a loan with more money than you need..
why should more money be awarded to that student? its wasteful. |
you do realize that while quasi need based, these loans HAVE to be paid back with interest? and i don't even think they can be discharged with a bankruptcy...so the bank WILL most likely GET their money and then some.

And can sodas used to be around 35 to 55 cent. You could go to the store with a dollar in my day & rack up. The only places you can get cheap snacks are in the hood.

i don't care about loans though lol. if you're taking loans to go to school, and want to spend 5,000 bucks on a entertainment system ... gon head. most likely you're gonna avoid paying that sh*t back for the rest of your life. |
Then this is really a non discussion. The only folks gettin' refunds from pell grants are nigguhs in CC. |
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">if you qualify for pell grants and loans... </span> they will combine, isn't that how it works?
if your tuition is 10k, your pell grant is 2k and your loan is 12k or something... the gov't should have just not given you the pell grant. since its money that is wasted.
it should be applied only after all other awards/loans are received. |
You do know the cost of living is added in to college cost right? Even when you take out private loans the cost of living is calculated within the private loans and a refund is issued to cover that cost. That 2k would be to cover books which can cost up to over a thousand, and travel to school room and board etc. I don't see that as waste.
