A growing problem for many Kansas City area graduates. Here's a look at this week's agenda for Kansas City's top ranking Congressman:
Congressman Cleaver to Hold Student Loan Town Hall
Student loan debt is a mounting problem in the United States with over 44 million Americans in debt
Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II will hold a town hall on the growing crisis of student loan debt, Wednesday, August 2, 2017 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The town hall will be held at Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley, Education Center, Room 19, 3201 Southwest Trafficway, Kansas City, MO.
Congressman Cleaver has voiced his concerns regarding student loan debt and the difficulty of repayment for many Americans. On Wednesday, he will hear from the students, recent graduates, parents, and all those affected by student loans.
“We must ensure that young people and students across America are able to stay in the classroom. They should not be burdened with how they are going to survive after graduating due to overwhelming student loans,” said Congressman Cleaver.
Those attending are encouraged to share their stories and experiences with the Congressman at the town hall.

Developing . . .
Universities are typically run by progressives; see MU, Lawrence, Manhattan, etc. The out of control costs of upper education are 100% the fault of the progressives in charge and the constant beat of the Dept of Education progs saying we have to go to college we have to go to college. Not to mention the administration of the "student loan" programs through the fed which is designed to keep people perpetually in debt.
ReplyDeleteCleaver is just the one to talk about repaying loans or not

ReplyDeleteFree.
Stuff.
For EVERYBODY!
Cleaver needs to worry about his own debts and get busy solving the Obamecare mess.
ReplyDeleteDer Fuhrer said that he had a "beautiful" health care plan.
ReplyDeleteAnd a thirty day plan to defeat ISIS
And that Mexico was going to pay for the "beautiful" wall, though his tentitive budget calls for 1.6 Billion to start building this wall.
And that he supported the LGBT Community
He's lied on every campaign promise that he made.
Like Obama ever told the truth.
DeleteIf they don't pay their loans guess who does?
ReplyDeleteHas anyone noticed that Cleaver complains a lot but he never accomplishes anything or fixes anything? In the south, they would say he's all hat and no cattle.
ReplyDeleteWho signed for the loans promising to pay them back? The students and their parents?
ReplyDelete^^^^+1
ReplyDeleteit must be a black thing if the cleave is bitching about it
ReplyDeleteWhat? You mean that $120,000 degree in transgender research or street performance makes you basically unemployable?
ReplyDeleteWho'd a thunk it.
When is "Carwash Clev" going to address the flying lead problem in his district ?
ReplyDeletehe's right that excessive loans are part of a vicious racket that is not in students' interests.
ReplyDeletethis should be apparent to people of good faith regardless of their politics.
Der Funkhouser, the lazy bum that sits on his ass drawing government disability, bitching about someone else not quickly accomplishing all their goals - that's rich.
ReplyDeleteI hate student loan debt too. That is why I worked my fat ass off while I went to school. Today the boons go to school and you can't even get their lazy asses to work after they get a degree, unless, of course, cousin Rashita got them a government job. Seems like you have a good 18 years for your parents and you to prepare for college. Ponder that before you try to get your dick skinners in my wallet.
ReplyDeleteThis is why the Democratic Party is in the shitter. They abandoned the blue collar workers for Wall Street, Big Pharma.
ReplyDeleteJust like LBJ and Vietnam and The Smartest Guys in the Room.
All Harvard educated. There are lots of people better suited and smarter than those Obama put in to run the economy.
The drive to send every kid to college is not the best way to educate. Trade schools which teach blue collar jobs that pay good money, better money than the typical holder of a BA.
How much of this student debt goes to the faux colleges like Phoenix, DeVry, et al?
There people in banking, manufacturing, that are more attuned to the economy than the Harvard crowd for sure.
Whatever the Democrats want to bitch about the Republicans are doing need to be reminded that it was Bill Clinton who gave them the power to do so. Reagan got a few piddling things through but Clinton allowed Too Big To Fail to nurture.

^^^ Excellent point Orphan of the Road.
DeleteFunkhouser is a gimethat democrat. He must have figured out how to steal the neighbors wi fi. it's easy to watch him, he likes to disappear, thinks we forget.
ReplyDeleteFunkhouser Name Meaning Respelling of German Frankhauser.
ReplyDelete"Somebody should do something about this!"
ReplyDelete------------CONGRESSMAN CARWASH
A college education is not a "right" and if you cannot afford College A then you go to College B, C, or D. You may have to get a job to help pay your way (I know, what a concept) or if your parents are willing, they may need to work a little bit extra to get you through. Whatever the case if YOU sign those financial papers that get you into higher education then the responsibility is YOURS to pay it off, not mine, not other taxpayers, and it's not the responsibility of the school to forgive that debt if YOU can't pay it. And if you can't afford it then you don't go, it's that simple...or it should be.
ReplyDeleteZERO credibility
ReplyDeleteThis is just more political bullshit. When Cleaver was on that jet to Africa with the Coonander and Chief Obamy I don't recall hearing of him wanting to do anything about student loan debt. When the Democrats were running congress he wasn't working on student loan debt. This ass hole is just trying to play politics. Perhaps he could start at the car wash by giving one fucking employee a scholarship. I guarantee it wont happen unless he can find a dumb while libtard to hand him the money.
ReplyDeleteColleges are now businesses. Only in it for profit.
ReplyDeleteThese colleges hold very large coffers, they have so much money they do not know what to do with it all.
It just is not right. I don't want to work and pay off my loans either. Gimmie a new car and a nice house, I deserve it!!!
