The reason corporations run amok is because big government bails them out and kills their competition. The more regulation you have, the less small businesses are able to compete with corporations who can buy armies of lawyers to defend themselves and bend the rules. More government is NEVER the answer.

Recently, research has counterintuitively indicated a need to scale back the financial aid we offer prospective students since such policies have thus far made higher education LESS affordable. [1]

In response, there has been one main criticism to that research: "How in the world could increased college assistance have come BEFORE increased tuition costs?" "Go ahead," exclaim the skeptics, "look at the historic record. Tuition increases came first! They were not CAUSED by expansions in financial aid!"

We decided to fact check this critique by doing precisely what was asked; looking at the historic record.

[The following dollar figures have all been adjusted for inflation.] From 1971 to 1981, annual tuition and fees for higher education only rose $2 for a public two year facility. [2] You read that correctly. ONLY two dollars. For a public, four year state school, in state tuition and fees had actually DECREASED $190. For the same period of time, a private four year institution, ALSO decreased by $304. [2] This is very important to note. It means that the cost of higher education was NOT rising at an alarming rate at this point in history. Rather, it had actually decreased or, at most, broken even. (depending on the circumstance) Since that time, however, tuition unfortunately inclined sharply.

>Part II next
>>
>>72202178
So then, what is the record on financial aid for higher education? Unlike the claims from the critics, expansions in financial aid programs DID come BEFORE the start of the tuition crisis. Federal financial aid had its start in 1958, with the National Defense Student Loan Program for low-income students, the precursor to the Perkins Loan Program, and soon after with the Health Professions Educational Assistance Act of 1963 [a]. Note, however, these were relatively small programs and therefore didn't necessarily distort the market in any impactful way. They truly were helping low income individuals, and thus were not wide-scale programs.

It wasn't until later, in 1965, 1972, and 1978, when the financial aid that we recognize today began to take hold. In 1965, for instance, the precursors to the Pell Grant and Stafford Loans were created as part of the "Higher Education Act. [3] At that time, a key change occurred in the way federal tuition loan programs were financed. "Instead of using government money directly, the loans would be made by bankers. But if students defaulted, the government guaranteed that IT would cover the tab." [4] Think about this perverse incentive for a moment. It meant that capital could be offered in the form of student loans under the presumption that profit from said loans could be kept privately, but if and when losses arose, banks and investors wouldn't have to lose their money since TAXPAYERS would foot the bill. Effectively, this was socializing losses while privatizing gains. It would take years for this perverse incentive to grow into a large scale problem, but it eventually did.

>>72202229
In '72, the precursor to the Pell Grant was created, but more importantly, Sallie Mae was created by Nixon and the Congress. Sallie Mae was a firm that received help from the treasury to buy student loans off of banks, freeing the banks to then offer even MORE federally insured loans. [4] From that point forward, banks had nothing to lose by offering loans since they - quite literally - could ONLY profit from the exchange. That meant a bank's sound underwriting reasoning, which typically would lead them to decline risky or unreasonable loan requests, was no longer present. If that weren't bad enough, the most important change came in 1978 with the Middle Income Student Assistance Act, which expanded federal student assistance programs to include middle-income students in addition to low-income students. [3] This is where everything changed. From this point forward, most of these financial aid programs were no longer limited to a minority of low income applicants, but instead became the norm for nearly the entire populace. Under this arrangement, loans would eventually be made to nearly everyone regardless of the requested price of tuition, and tuition would therefore be free to rise unchecked since no financial institution was saying "no." It should be no surprise, then, that this was the last decade our nation enjoyed relatively affordable tuition. Since that 1978 expansion, the cost of higher education increased more than 13 fold; about 1,225 percent. [5] To put that into perspective, in the same time period, ordinary inflation (CPI) had only increased 279 percent. [5]

CONCLUSION:
NO, massive and alarming increases in tuition did not occur PRIOR to expansions in financial aid. The expansions in financial aid occurred PRIOR to the tuition crisis. We have a legitimate problem on our hands, and it's important that it be properly diagnosed if we are ever to fix it.

CLAIM: “Look at how wages have grown in Japan, UK, and France versus the United States. That is why we need to raise the minimum wage.”

RESPONSE: Originally posted by “Fight for $15”, this graph uses comparative income growth to support their cause of raising the minimum wage. Now, there are many complicated ways to evaluate and compare countries to determine who is “better off” than others. Income is certainly one of them, but "income growth" alone means very little. No one would say they're "better off" because their income grew rapidly if someone else makes significantly more.

In keeping with their evaluation, here are some other income statistics which are especially relevant and do not coincide with the presented narrative.

HOUSEHOLD DISPOSABLE INCOME (1):
United States: $41,355
France: $28,799
United Kingdom: $27,029
Japan: $26,111

MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME (2):
United States: $43,585
Japan: $33,822
United Kingdom: $31,617
France: $31,112

MEDIAN PER CAPITA INCOME (2):
United States: $15,480
United Kingdom: $12,399
France: $12,445
Japan: $10,840

Notice anything? The United States median and disposable incomes far exceed the other three countries. Moreover, average annual wages adjusted for 2014 USD PPP and 2014 constant prices are still the highest in the United States (3).

But how do they claim that US incomes are flat? Their graph cites the Bureau of Labor Statistics for US income data. However, the BLS does not account for certain variables – such as post-tax, post-transfer income as well as an overstated measure of inflation (CPI). Moreover, they do not include benefits and other compensation, which has become a large part of employee compensation.

Conversely, the Congressional Budget Office uses an alternative measure for income. From 1979 to 2007, “real median after-tax household income grew by 37%” (4).

So what, American wages are only up because of tax cuts/welfare?

Either way, no one cares how much worse off other countries are if the statement that we're stagnating is still true. It's no excuse to say "shut up, you still have it (relatively) good." Not that I condone minimum wage hikes and welfare as the solution. But this is the essence of globalism: ship our industry elsewhere, open the borders wide so a bunch of poor shitskins can compete with us, create one big world economy where quality of life and reimbursement all fall into equilibrium - an equilibrium far lower than what past generations of Americans have enjoyed, all because a few subhumans bred like rodents for a couple centuries, voiding any self respect they once had.

again, since the 80's house hold income has gone up by 37%. Saying "only Wall Street is making money" is disingenuous. Now, based on the 2008 housing crash. You'd have a point that from 2008-2010 those who got bailed out by TARP and HARP bills have pretty much made back their money tax free. What you're doing is making a very bad point and one that is false until 2008. Now that has recovered but it took much longer than it normally should have.

The banks were given trillions of dollars for free that they could then gamble on overseas exchange rates.

It's a license to steal money. They used all the cash to shore up the toxic assets that they created in the bubble years. However them being solvent recquires there to be historically low interest rates.

Now though interest rates are still at historic lows and the economy is in the shitter because there is no demand.

Also, I never said they "Paid it back." 2008/2009 they were bailed out via TARP and HARP bills. They maid their lost money back and then some tax free because government bailout laws and regulations. Taking away the risk factor in the market corporations went full retard because Uncle Sam had there backs with a wink and a smile.

the whole point of the "Low interest rates" is to encourage demand again. Problem is, no body wants to take the risk because the writing is on the wall that a second crash maybe coming via student loan debt.

Now, if I was a financial fiduciary right now. I'd tell people to place their money into a safe money asset under the management of a CPA/CFO that is a small local man (Works with accounts under 2.5 million dollars) assets like Mutual Funds rather than Stocks or government bonds.

>They maid their lost money back

By using overseas exchange rates markets with the free trillions of dollars (thanks to low interest rates)

>"Low interest rates"

But it's not working, banks are lending "less" despite having huge cash hoards

http://www.wsj.com/articles/big-banks-cut-back-on-small-business-1448586637

That's because the "real" reason interest rates are so low is that the toxic assets still on the banks' balance sheets are still there 'if' rates go up the banks are fucked. So we're now in a perpetual credit "stagnation" that is never going to end because if it did, wall street would be fucked.

Yeah because every historical instance showing this to be the case is just speculative, uh huh.

nevermind the 1000 years of history consistently showing central bank and government meddling do the exact same thing wherever it goes lol

>>72211170
If you think you can distill the complexities of human social and political life down to a simple rule of thumb like that you are fucking retarded.

The countries with the most powerful central banks and most meddlesome governments also tend to be the most politically powerful.

I'm not saying you are wrong about all the conclusions you draw, just that the overarching star wars tier narrative you put it into is an obvious crutch for a weak mind.

>CEO pay has gone up 937%

Lets put this into perspective.

CEO of billion dollar company.

makes 1 million salary.

999 million goes to employees and other services and projects to keep the company profitable.

CEO is making less than .01% of the income.

But he's fucking CEO, he's top dog, at the very top, cus he gets shit done. Corporate hierarchy. Think you can do a better job? Prove it.
>>
>>72201403
This means that even CEO children have more expensive college tuition than back in 1978. As % of their income.

This is really funny.

>The countries with the most powerful central banks and most meddlesome governments also tend to be the most politically powerful.

funny how their citizens also tend to go from being rich to being poor in unbelievably short periods of time. Argentina is a good example. They were considered 1st world before the IMF moved in and got them to sign onto fraud.

Why would you assume I haven't read books on economic history?

And why would you think that rteading books on economic history would give you a bias free and completely objective reading of profound economic truth? Unless you were a retard of course.

Are you a retard anon?

>Why would you assume I haven't read books on economic history?

Because you probably don't know who has been funding both sides of every war for the last 100 years. You don't know about how following the crusades the Templar first figured out they could use debt and interest as a means to consolidate all the wealth, which they promptly did before the king of france realized they were artificially putting everyone in debt and that all the physical gold was hoarded by them in one place, and promptly had them shut down.

A whole other multitude of things you simply do not know is making us think you don't read economic history.
>>
>>72211931
The US hasd had the preemiant place in the glabal banking world since the end of ww2 and the creation of the bretton woods sisters (including the afforementioned IMF).

A significant part of your prosperity has come from this strength letting you have the petro-dollar and the default currency for world trade.

And of course it relies on the exact overarching and meddlesome structures you decry, endless pork barrel politics (such as with OPEC) and many of the other types of interactions between financial and political centers of power.

As I said, taking some examples and interpreting them as evidence of a simple black and white picture is fucking retarded.

>tinfoil pamphlets are economic history

>A whole other multitude of things you simply do not know is making us think you don't read economic history.

How do you know what I don't know anon?

And what relevance does the knights templars have to do with the fact that interpreting economic theory and research as providing complete and objective statements of truth is retarded as fuck.

Also, it seems I know enough to predict the bullshit damage control you would bring.

Hey asshole I'm the guy that puts the missles on your prescious drones. What do you think that there is some kind of freedom of speech suppression hotline you can call and a MQ-9 will just magically appear over the mean conservatives house. The people that actually make your prescious drones happen are almost unanimously conservative. I know you love the idea of dishing out hot liberal Justice at the snapping of your fingers without having to be in any danger or having to put any effort into it. But that's not fucking happening. In summary you are a faggot and we will not help you opress the American people. Every single person involved with their deployment has sworn an oath to defend the Constitution and the American people sadly that includes you too.

If we let somebody with that mentality rule continuously, we are pretty much guaranteed to get attacked because they don't even understand the threat is also largely outside the major named militant groups.

Rogue militants are a severe issue as well. There is no reason somebody has to be under the ISIS flag to also commit terrorism.

The best one was these two asshats who though they could play dead after their whole crew got their shit pushed in with with the 30mm. The 130 crew had eyes on them the whole time. They get up the second they didn't hear the props anymore and the aircrew hits them mid brofist with an AGM. There wasn't enough of them left to bury in a coffee can.

The skill required to manage a multinational corporation has become significantly more difficult thanks to the age of the internet and you only need one person to be a CEO.

Typing up spreadsheets is easier than ever and more people can do it.

Maybe if you want better income you should reduce the supply of labor into the country.

CNN esimates 106,000 Islamic terrorists. Assuming 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide, that's 0.0006625% of Islam converted extremism.
Not sure why you're surprised. You do know that death tolls from extremism within Middle Eastern countries is way higher, right? And they have much smaller population ls.

ISIL is the entire group. ISIS( Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) refers to ISIL in Syria and Iraq. CIA does estimate around 30k fighters.

He tries to get guns banned, and funds other leftist policies. He's basically George Soros Jr.
