    Have they ever thought of (horrors!) getting a part time job, or do they think they should be taken care of by the government? What little snowflakes...

    Probably housing costs are playing a big factor in this too.

    Housing costs in many parts of the country have gotten too expensive because of overcrowding and surging population, especially on the more affordable end that people like students would traditionally rely upon.

    Many colleges now are charging $15,000 a year just to live in a dormitory, and we are talking just the academic year. The students get kicked out and have to find somewhere else when classes are not in session.

    Maybe they should get a part time job.

    My son took 10 hours of college per semester and worked 25-30 hours per week at a lumber yard.

    How exactly is this Trump's fault? I was a starving college student almost 40 years ago. I lived off of grilled cheese sandwiches. There was even a few times where I had to make a choice between bread/cheese or beer.

    That WOULD be the Dem Party's Democratic Socialist way. Let's mandate a pay cut for all self-acknowledged leftist professors and then use that money to feed all the college students. A win-win solution.

    Malnutrition is a term that includes obesity

    Now think - which foods are the cheapest and easiest? Why High fat high carb - how many are living on noodles?

    Ummmmmmmmmm . . . probably pretty much all politically indoctrinated leftists . . . which would also include 'starving' college students chowing down on Big Macs.

    And it WOULD be the RW way to ignore the fact that America’s basic wage is inadequate

    Let me channel my inner leftist for a moment since no actual leftist would EVER answer that question. Ummmmmmmmmmm . . . you just mentioned Obama in a faintly negative way . . . RACIST! That, by the way, is supposed to end the question itself.

    Nothing changed, obviously. It's just that NOW our leftists on this forum system are supposed to care.

    If you are not earning enough money then either get a better paying job by applying yourself to the task in a competitive manner or LEARN to live within your means. It shouldn't be a rocket science issue . . . not even for an Australian leftist ignorantly 'discussing' U.S. issues.

    So college only started to be expensive when Trump got elected? :roll:

    Notice how after 8 years of Obama & liberal socialist college professors brainwashing (indoctrinating) young minds, instead of helping them they decided to rip them off instead.

    They hypocrisy of the left never fails to amuse.

    Maybe instead of giving tax cuts to the rich you should look at a living basic wage

    Maybe they ought to consider working to learn some skills worthy of the wage

    Why is college tuition Trump's fault?

    As long as the colleges know that the government will give student loans to anyone and everyone, then the colleges will continue to jack up the price.

    Do you understand now.

    Half of college students are "going hungry." The other half spent their food money on weed and beer and are "going hungry" too.
