they use the tight purse strings to control the public. it's based on a fallacious econoic argument that many good people believe

2020-01-08 03:33:25 UTC  

good news, it is wrong so there is no danger in gettig rid of those bad beliefs

2020-01-08 03:34:05 UTC  

if you want to crippl eyour future, saddle young adults with massive debt and no healthcare

2020-01-08 03:34:24 UTC  

that might be the POINT of our bad policies, to keep the elites in power

2020-01-08 03:34:36 UTC  

would not surprise me

2020-01-08 03:34:38 UTC  

I personally can testify to the failing of the public education system that the government has financed. You are forced to comply with state regulations

2020-01-08 03:35:27 UTC  

how well public school does varies wildly based on the administration per district

2020-01-08 03:35:49 UTC  

we are arguing for financing higher education, and removing the state/muni burden for education

2020-01-08 03:35:57 UTC  

In regards to healthcare, I agree that the system we have for it now is utterly stupid and needs fixed, but not by the government financing it all.

2020-01-08 03:36:01 UTC  

policy fights over WHAT to teach and how can be done locally

2020-01-08 03:36:28 UTC  

health caer has major externalities that are beyond the scope of normal market functions

2020-01-08 03:36:37 UTC  

including disease outbreaks and monitoring

the US prefers medicare for all than a british style NHS

2020-01-08 03:37:11 UTC  

you put the healthcare spending on fedgov balance sheet, then let local health networks handle the care

2020-01-08 03:37:20 UTC  

similar to how military industrial complex works

2020-01-08 03:37:38 UTC  

the health outcomes give the discipine to the system, easy to monitor

2020-01-08 03:37:52 UTC  

same way we can monitor quality control of an aircraft part for a rhino

2020-01-08 03:38:14 UTC  

or how the USMC School of Infantry is performing, etc

2020-01-08 03:38:33 UTC  

the illusio of a totally 'private' sphere is just that

2020-01-08 03:38:41 UTC  

corporations have limited liability, IP laws, etc

2020-01-08 03:38:53 UTC  

Alright, let’s focus on higher education. I don’t like the system just as much as you don’t. Debts, loans, and all of that other stuff is horrible. Which is why I focus on creating a better, lower-priced education system. I have a plan to fix education without getting the government involved.

2020-01-08 03:38:56 UTC  

limited liability is a massive gov intervention nobody cries about because it 'benefits' them, it's baked in

2020-01-08 03:39:29 UTC  

the lowest price for the USER is zero, which also adds productivity to the society

2020-01-08 03:40:17 UTC  

what education costs from operative standpoitn depends on what you are teaching and what outcomes you are looking for

2020-01-08 03:41:10 UTC  

society wide, we already spend a ton on education, it' sjust done in a sloppy fashion. single payer fixes that issue, but then the education outcomes are still handled institutionally

2020-01-08 03:41:37 UTC  

the fallacy is in assuming colleges need ot compete on 'price' versus education quality

2020-01-08 03:42:29 UTC  

many of the fixes for education have this asssumption baked in that price competition in education will result in quality outcomes, but that's confusing the nature of education, which is a longer term investment that works similar to 'equity'

2020-01-08 03:42:35 UTC  

not manufacturing

2020-01-08 03:42:54 UTC  

the metaphor in their head is a factory that churns out manufactured 'graduates'

2020-01-08 03:42:56 UTC  

I focus on teaching people to think and to be creative. A gift that comes naturally for young people, but gets numbed as you grow older. I believe that if someone has an idea that they pursue, they will learn more then sitting in a classroom, doing homework, and performing random experiments.

2020-01-08 03:43:35 UTC  

im not a teacher, i have no idea on what methods are best, but the gov should finance whatever the student choice is

2020-01-08 03:43:46 UTC  

something like a GI Bill for All to go along with medicare for all

2020-01-08 03:44:32 UTC  

i dont think everyody has a natural gift fo creativity. some people are more stalwart, bean counters. we have all types of neurologies

2020-01-08 03:44:45 UTC  

very different subject than fiscal policy however

2020-01-08 03:44:51 UTC  

I believe that my plan would pull out government funding, work well for every bright student (rich or poor), and still be profitable.

2020-01-08 03:45:15 UTC  

'profitable' should not be the goal

2020-01-08 03:45:26 UTC  

low quality / high cost can give you profits

2020-01-08 03:45:29 UTC  

still bad for society

2020-01-08 03:45:33 UTC  

I also believe that everyone is bright in their own ways, and everyone is creative in their own way

2020-01-08 03:45:59 UTC  

again, education is not about manfacturing a product that gets a good price, thats, student graduates are not in a spot market that the facility is selling
