February 17, 2016 by A Leister
One of the reasons Bernie Sanders is doing well with Millennials is because he’s promising free college for everyone.
In an ultimate twist of irony, his wife Jane Sanders used to be the head of Burlington College in Vermont and racked up large debts for the small school which almost caused its ruin. Can you say metaphor?
Politico reported:What happened at Sanders U.
When Jane Sanders was in charge of a small private college in Vermont for seven years, it sank deep into debt while trying to expand its campus. Many students took out tens of thousands of dollars in loans to attend, but their investment was questionable: Only a third of former Burlington College students earn more than the average person with a high school diploma.
Jane Sanders’ husband, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, has offered a higher-education plan that would make tuition at public colleges free. But it would do little to prod colleges, public or private, to keep costs down or ensure that a college degree is worthwhile for graduates.
Jane Sanders, who led Burlington College from 2004 to 2011, spent millions on a new campus — 33 acres along the bank of Lake Champlain — to attract more students and donations from alumni. It didn’t work: The college failed to recruit enough students or donations to repay its debts and even came close to losing its accreditation.

I honestly did not know anything about this issue until you mentioned it - to me, if true, this would kill Bernie's chances. I would find it difficult to support him - qualifying the statement that I don't know all the facts.Doka wrote:Kbot, I agree with you , in fact the differences are from terrible "Darkness" to the "Light". The Clintons are in the evil realm , Bernie I do not believe wishes harm, but all have the same idiology, there is no difference in the out come. If you rob people with a smile or a scowl on your face, you are still just a robber. Bernie wants to take this ravaged(psyco) country of 3 to 4 billion people and turn it into a mirror image of tiny , utopic Sweden(or what ever the country). Do think that would work? Who do know has enough money left, to take care of themselves and the rest of us at the same time . Bernie exudes a certain naivete' that endears people to him. But, I do believe he has a "Tiger by Tail".

I'm not a fan or his "get rich quick" schemes. He should be investigated as any person who breaks the law.Raggedyann wrote:OK I'll bite.kbot wrote:Wait for it.........voguy wrote:

Funny how Trump ripped people off with his 'get rich quick scheme' university and I haven't seen a word about it on this forum. His trial for fraud will take place after the election.
There is no difference Kbot. You lost your Government about 50 years ago. THE GOVERNMENT can't enforce the laws as they wouldn't know where to start within their own two crowds. Crooks are running the show and we've known that for years and then there's those who want to vote in another one and with wild abandon.kbot wrote:I'm not a fan or his "get rich quick" schemes.

Here's a difference though - people such as the Clintons, Obama, Bush - they were politicians - allegedly working for us. As "public servants" - a joke phrase if there ever was one...... they MUST BE held accountable - otherwise, we've lots our government.
The problem is - we're relying on THE GOVERNMENT to enforce laws, and they;'re doing a crappy job at that.
