- Colleges get massive subsidies and tax breaks. They get rich. Taxpayers and many students are hurt.

Yale University's dining halls don’t have to pay any property tax.
That's unfair to surrounding restaurants, who do have to pay.
Yale does well with its tax breaks. It has a $31 billion endowment. Harvard has $40 billion.
Yet we taxpayers keep giving them more.
In addition to the tax breaks, the US gives colleges cash grants and guarantees more than $1 trillion in student loans. It's how colleges have gotten away with jacking up tuition at 4 times the rate of inflation.
This hurts both taxpayers and many students. Today, almost half don’t graduate in six years.
Students end up with "$80,000 in debt, without a degree to show for it,” says Inez Stepman, an education policy researcher at the Independent Women's Forum.
Colleges say they deserve every break because they’re making wiser citizens. But Stepman says, "They're not making wiser citizens. They're making citizens who hate their country."
I push back: "Most colleges educate ... rather than indoctrinate."
"I wish that were true," she replies. "I was part of the College Republicans, so we were registering voters ... I actually had a professor walk up and spit on me. We had another professor call us the Nazi Youth."
Taxpayers shouldn't subsidize that.

If it makes you feel any better ur money ultimately ends up in the pockets of the board members and top level admin of these "non-profit" institutions and not the future protesters education.
So what’s the answer here?
Just to abolish any government funded education?
Or do what other countries do and actually help their people?
@@kylethedalek what you would do is only give money to colleges that agree to a set of terms that would limit tuition hikes and frivolous spending of said tax money. Right now the government is just shoveling basically free money at colleges and telling them that if they want more they can just raise tuition and it will be covered by govt loans. Im pretty sure other countries have alot more say over the actions of the institutions receiving public funds.
to be honest but those are the 50% dropouts, lol

"they're not making wiser citizens they're making citizens who hate their country"
wise words
Well when everyone is equal in their utopia, will see how they like it when it is their turn to pick up garbage for the month.
With close to 90% of college professors being leftist in their worldview, it’s no wonder that all these entitled snowflake communist/socialist loving students come out of these “higher learning “ institutions with ass backwards views. 💯
Maybe that is wise
It's almost as if higher education teaches critical thinking, which gives students the tools to see through the harmful myths that governments perpetuate

Charging tens of thousands of dollars to turn US children into socialist peons. There's a certain genius to it.
They want to forgive the student debt too. Everything is free, as long as the taxpayer keeps paying?
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” MT
It's robbery of the tax payers.
Wait until the students who want their college to be free discover that THEY will be paying for every graduating class from now on.
They say we should embrace free market capitalism. When the rich do well everybody does well. It's a trickle-down economy. But it's really a siphon-up economy. Who's doing all the hard work and still have to pay tax? Even many of the people developing the new tech (inventors, engineers, programmers, scientists...) don't get paid that well and could be struggling. Then they say we are all still doing better than we would be without the super rich individuals and corporations. I have a feeling we are fed lies. What do you think?
@@dadt8009 what we have now is not capitalism, but sudo, crony capitalism where the government. Is involved in every aspect of business as a middle man. If it was a true open, free market, people would vote with their wallets, and prices would be driven down, because now companies can’t buy off political allies to siphon off tax payers money. Hell, there shouldn’t even be income tax
When I was in college I had to study. There was no time for golf, rock climbing, or crying in a closet.
This. Precisely.

But I did make some time to bury myself balls deep in my girlfriends.
The ones in STEM rarely used those amenities.
It looks like a summer camp but if you were in a hard major it was extremely stressful and NOT fun.
I basically had no life in college because of how hard it was, I didn't enjoy being an adult until I had my first job.
Yeah, when I went I worked 3 PT jobs to pay for it spent most of my time on campus at the library, student union, or class. I slept in my car on occasion.
was your tuition nearly 4 times the rate of inflation?
@@jacobjohnson2714 yep, feeling that now as a CS major. All those fun things are enjoyed by the other majors to keep them distracted from the fact that they are being leeched off of by the college.
When you reward failure, you get lots MORE of it.
Freeing the slaves was rewarding failure.
@@hixidom2274 And look how much more of it we got.
They're not rewarding failure, those students pay for it in the end.
They're rewarding FRAUD.
Just like when you reward dumber students by admitting them to a college for smart people because they are a part of a minority.
In the case of free college, even $300 Billion isn't that bad compared to Trump constantly giving breaks for the rich. My issue is that 1) the saturation of college degrees will downgrade the degree's relevance, and 2) the country won't get any smarter since colleges will probably lower the curriculum standards to retain as many of those new students as they can, because each student is revenue to them.
The Yale teacher is like a made mafia member yelling at her soldiers that she “needs some muscle over here”
which made her unmaking all the sweeter.
Just to be fair, that scene was not at Yale. That was at the University of Missouri. Same problem, but we should always be as accurate as possible.

The rich people buy off the government through lobbying and they give them tax cuts. They have accountants who can find them deductions so they can pay lower taxes.
@@giantsr1eva libertarians and conservatives in general just want government to decrease taxes for everyone and leave the people alone. That way there is more freedom and liberty for all. The more things gov starts providing for you, the more things they can take away from you.

@@MikhaelAhava But he was always an un-apologetic true investigative journalist, no matter where he worked, which is ever how he ended up thinking the way he does.
On this issue he's correct, but he's completely lost when he wants to legalize monopolies and hard drugs. He also advocates for tax cuts for the rich.
@KingJustice98 I don’t think he wants to legalise monopolies, cause that’s the opposite to competition, which is necessary for the free market. Also not really tax cuts, but more of taxes in general, like there has to be some, but not like 90% in the past wherein the rich basically found loopholes and paid less meanwhile the middle class had to be burden. Also hard drugs? Portugal did something and their drug problem decreased because they treat it as a health issue rather than crime. Though other countries like Singapore has death penalty on drugs but do fine.
What I think where he’s lost is on prostitution. Horny guys really? That’s gonna bring STDs, the workers can be tested but the clients might not be. Plus it would really spread.

Why does everything “free” always come with a price tag?

If you go to yale because of a pizza oven u dont deserve a college degree
I know right?
if they want a pizza oven just spend 200-500 bucks, its much cheaper then spending 55k a year in college fees
In their defense they probably werent ever gonna get a degree
It's to distract them from the shit show they're gonna have to deal with when the college experience is over.
a pizza over? wtf does that even cost? I'm sure they contracted it out to the deens friend for $250,000. for some fire bricks, insultation and some concrete.
and Pepe's is much better, i'm sure of it.
And the teachers at Yale demand higher taxes on everyone but them.

The football coaches salary isn't subsidized by taxpayers. Football programs earn their own money through merchandise, ticket sales, and huge TV contracts. Football pays for almost every other sport at most colleges.
False. Most universities operate their sports program as a separate for profit corporation. The university pays the program, grants scholarships, etc. But the sports program keeps 100% of their profits.

@Hydin Biden @Hydin Biden my bad, I haven't explained myself correctly (I'm not a native English speaker as you can probably see). I agree with you that those politicians suck but I don't think they are the root of the problem. The real problem is the system that makes you have this politicians (electoral college, 2 party system, gerrymandering and overall lack of democracy).
How you solve universities is up to the people to decide, the problem right now is that the people don't get to decide. Even if you did have politicians solving the issue nothing guarantees you that they won't fuck something else.
Both parties have been in power numerous times, and neither has fixed the problem, nor they fixed any other problem I know of. If the same method hasn't worked in the past, it's unlikely it will work in the future. Perhaps we need a new system, or no system at all.

The people who say, "We need free college for everybody," should be forced to watch this video.
They use the myth that the reason people either never go to college or drop out without graduating is because "they can't afford the tuition." There are so many other reasons. In my case my health failed and I could no longer do the coursework. My cousin wanted to be a photographer and didn't care about anything else, so he works at Target while he's building a portfolio. There's a range of reasons, from deaths in families, to having to assist with household expenses, to just a lack of desire or picking a career path that doesn't require college. Those who leave may find that it's not for them, whether they don't enjoy the experience or they can't maintain the grades to stay on school. The price of tuition is a factor for some, but availability of loans means most students don't even know what the tuition is that they're paying, let alone consider it as a factor for going/continuing. Under a "government picks up the tab for tuition" plan, all those people who couldn't or didn't go, or didn't graduate, are paying for everyone else to do so. Politicians make it sound so good and reasonable, "education is so vital, why shouldn't we cover the cost of higher education like we do for k-12?" They never discuss the brass tacks of it, or what it will do if it functioned perfectly and almost everyone went and graduated. Being a high school graduate used to be meaningful, and opened up career paths, because the percentage of teens graduating was low. Now it's extremely high, so it's expected that everyone has graduated, and anyone who hasn't or who took the GED are looked down on by employers. The shift will happen with a bachelors degree if the percentage of graduates gets high enough, like high school today. And once it does, the politicians will talk about how important it is to go to graduate school, and how taxes should be covering that cost as well.
This is a major problem and college is still not free 🤔
Also, we’ve had free college in the past and this wasn’t a problem either.
*ahem* Joe Rogan. There’s a lot of stuff he says I disagree with but when he says college should be free I usually have to stop whatever that podcast is. If you think college is expensive now, just wait until it’s “free!”
They should be forced to actually speak to the freshmen at their local university and see just how many are just there to get drunk and flunk out their first semester. There’s a reason that about half of the students with student loans don’t graduate. A lot of flunkies are also already on Pel Grants and so on, but I guess we need to throw more money at them to squander.
Also of note is why should I have to pay for someone to get a degree in something like English when they’ll likely never use it? If you want to spend your time and money getting one just to have one, good on you, but why should I pay for it?
Sadly those people will still believe what they want to believe. :/

I worked outside of class to makeup the difference. There's a reason why my loans are significantly smaller than my classmates.
The university i went to has been in a constant state of construction since I've moved to the area about 11 years ago. In that time they have raised tuition several times and are always lobbying the board of regents for more money. To say they spend irresponsibly is an understatement.

@@bonespro You just gave one of the best arguments against public services: they are always used as a pretext for further expansion of the state.
Democrats also gave bailouts, and supported irresponsible government loan guarantees. Do not assume we approve of either, or are naive enough to consider Republicans Constitutionalists. Those are few and far between.

The professor looking for 'muscle' to get rid of the REPORTER was a JOURNALISM teacher. It happened at MU.
lol isn't that ironic
She was a communication professor, which is in a separate college at MU since the J-School is very selective, and she was fired following the usual bureaucracy laden investigation.

It’s depressing to think this insanity is never going to end.
Considering what they're teaching the kids, they probably SHOULD be defunded.
me: goes to a private university using government loans
also me: abolish student loans
Same for me. But it's worst to just deny it
Your part of the problem
This the loan that doesn't go away. Bankruptcy still need to pay. They can garnish your wages and your tax returns. Have fun.
Meanwhile, the responsible among us worked hard enough to receive scholarships or paid back our student loans as quickly as we could...When the responsible and honest are made into suckers, the system has become corrupt. This "abolish student loans" mindset is incentivizing lazy, selfish, and irresponsible child-like behavior.
@@JB-vt5sz Why? Play the game to change the game! If there's a shitty system in place, use it to your advantage if you want to thrive! I'm against stimulus checks but I'm sure as hell going to accept them because otherwise I'll be at a disadvantage compared to my competition. I guess it's because I value actions and consequences more than virtues and vices.
I've been watching John Stossel since the late '90s when I was a kid, and always enjoyed his reports. So glad he has this channel so I can continue to see what he has to say.
I ask my friends if they know John Stossel and they say no! He’s a famous journalist!

Notice despite the subsidies and tax breaks, tuition and expenses don’t get any cheaper.
And people demand government subsidized health insurance 🤔

And even if they graduate with a STEM degree their jobs are outsourced.
STEM is vastly overrated now. For example, interest in Computer Science is no where near the levels of the dotcom bubble, but individuals with a degree looking for entry level CS jobs are at record highs by far. It's all a ploy.
their jobs are outsourced to other countries, i.e. china, because of the high taxes that democrats impose on businesses so that it becomes economically unfeasible for them to try and operate under such a high tax burden so they pick up and move away from the high taxes that the democrats have placed upon them. that is not too hard to figure out. if you as an individual were suddenly taxed much higher than you had been you also would look into moving away from those taxes to a place where taxes are not so high. dont blame the businesses for moving. blame the government that taxed them out
According to IEEE in an article I read a few years ago, there are millions of USA engineers with degrees who are not working in their field of study.
@@rons5319 it's a similar Patten throughout the world not just in US
@@rons5319 are you saying they are not working in an engineering job at all or that they're not working in their discipline of engineering? If you're referring to the latter, then that is just the nature of engineering. It is inherently interdisciplinary and you can work in many different careers with any engineering degree.
Great video! When it comes to journalism Stossel is a dying breed.
“The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other peoples money”
-Margaret Thatcher.
The problem with college’s is that they teach socialism like its gospel.
Eventually you run out of other people's children?
Back in the late 70s I paid $12.00 per class. I washed dishes and worked as a mail clerk to pay my tuition.
I ran a large department as a contractor for university of Chicago. The administration were some of the most wasteful snobby people I’ve ever seen. Most were educated beyond their intelligence and looked down on hard working people.
After spending tens of thousands of dollars on student loans without being able to find a job in my field, I ended up getting a blue collar job to pay them off. 8 years later I’m still in that blue collar field. Sure I work every day but I get 6 figures to do it, all in a job that never required me to have a college degree in the first place. My friends from college all expected to get out with their degree and land a nice cushy job. None of them got it, either choosing to take low paying jobs in the service industry while waiting for that high paying cushy job or went back to college to get a higher degree or two. Worst investment I ever made.
I am a senior in high school whom is doing everything possible not to go to college, any recommendations? Also good luck in finding your desired job.
Basically the same story here as well. Except I don't get 6 figures to do my job. But I make enough that I can probably pay off my student loans within the next 10 years. College was, without a doubt, the absolute worst decision of my life. And this might sound like an excuse, but my parents absolutely pushed me into going to college, when I had serious doubts about it. It turns out I was right. I NEVER should have gone to college.
What did you get a degree in? Pure sciences or business should be useful.
@@toddnolastname4485 Anthropology. Which I guess would be a "social science". Which I know now was a bad move. But I had no idea what I wanted to go into when I first started college (part of the problem).
@@GeoRoen27 Consider technical school if you want some education that's not super expensive but still specialized enough that you can get a decent trade job ... medical, blue collar, etc. Also community college is great, I lived with my parents while working to pay off my classes, got my AS and am in no debt. I believe also if you join the Military and do your service, the gov will help pay tuition though I'd encourage you to do your own research on that (this option maybe don't take lightly).
Universities/colleges are so overrated.
Yup, biggest con ever and I fell for it...

We pay them outrageous amounts of money to turn our children against us.
and to crash the whole country.
@@voidofspaceandtime4684 Exactly!
@@voidofspaceandtime4684 The Great Recession was caused by the repeal of Glass-Steagall's economic firewalls. Their elimination allowed the economic bubble in the housing industry to spread into all industries.
During the Great Depression these firewalls were implemented to separated banks, insurance companies and financial market investors. A company could only be in one of those industries. In 2008 the companies that invested in the stock market were the same companies that provided credit to businesses. Because their assets were toxic they could not loan business money to pay for payroll and thus business in all industries were forced to layoff some of their workers. These workers then reduced their spending which reduced demand which in turned caused more layoffs.

thank you for your video we all need to know how far from the truth we have come in this country!
When I started at Ohio State in fall 1979, it was $254/quarter. I suspended by education and spent 4 years in the Coast Guard, came out to finish my degree, and I could not afford it without loans, and the entire atmosphere changed. Being a 27 year old white guy on campus wasn't a popular identity with the "professors" of lunacy. So, I threw away the grant and I got my real estate licenses for a fraction of the cost, and I'm doing fine.
It was $200 a semester in 1978 at U of Arizona.
talk about trades and the skilled labor shortage
Garbage in, garbage out.
Democrats solution: forgive all loans, and then provide free college for EVERYONE, including illegal aliens.
They would give them to actual aliens also
Nevermind those increased taxes, fees and fines.
It's funny, because then the teachers are the ones complaining about how much they get paid and how much they have to do. Meanwhile the Dems are asking them to pretty much work for free.
@@Chris.B1111 you’re not making any sense
@@hi-gf5yl I think he meant if students won't pay debt, teachers and faculty members won't earn the money that was lost.
Pretty much the Democrats allowed this socialist college debt traps and then forgive the debt equalling to expecting the teachers to work for free.
It makes sense if you follow his logic but to be honest, let's be real... they'll most likely just raise up the tuition and select which students will be allowed to have their debt forgiven.
Does anyone else look at all this and think it's just too perfect to be coincidence?
