Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

It's not true that upper middle class kids are priced out.It varies by school, but assuming the school has committed to granting the full amount of demonstrated need, then that is indeed what they do.So you fill out the FAFSA (or other financial form). That form determines the amount the parents can contribute. Then the school picks up the "difference" between that and the sticker price of tuition.If your upper middle class kid has no demonstrated need then, by definition, the parents can afford the full price. The kid is not priced out.

Sadly those schools have done away with merit based scholarships and only give need based money. In order to get a diversified population they are no interested in upper middle class high achieving kids. Wealthy and lower middle class and poor make up the student population.

Smart upper middle class kids not really welcome. They are priced out.

First, those schools are the exception and not the rule.

Second, even those schools with huge endowments don't want to have an operating loss. So they do charge tuition and they still have the same "discount" system for less well-off students.

It was a great victory, but I do get annoyed when I read comments that other countries do what I do and try to influence other country's elections. No one does what I can do. I orchestrated a brilliant plan on so many levels, cyberhacking, social media, knowledge of the electorate, propaganda that I was able to bend the electorate to my will. I took down a superpower. No one has done that before.

And no I did not collude with Trump. He was aware of what I was doing but that idiot was not smart enough to contribute to any plans. He did have a specific skill set that was effective for my goals but he kept doing stupid stuff like publicly asking me to find more emails.

My plans always work. Life is good.

Your terrible attempt at satire is based on an underlying assumption that the election was expected to be close, and "Russia!!" tilted the result. It shouldn't have been close at all. The Democrats had/have lost their message, and put up the weakest candidate possible.

Dude, it's like they're addicted to FLAGPOLING!! Epic, epic Flagpoles for the last two years now.

Loving it.

Here's the truth, have you ever filled out a FAFSA form and recieved the results? Its like going to a car dealer and asking how much you can afford to pay for a car. What they say you should pay if you are upper middle class is ridiculous. A family income of 160K paying 50K a year for tuition is just not smart. And it doesn't matter how smart or how hard your kid worked, merit based scholarship is NOT awarded to anyone.The very wealthy have no problem paying, lower middle class and poor often get in for free. Hence the population consists of lower percentage of upper middle class kids.

Exthrower, DFF, and my other little simple minded minions life is very good.http://www.businessinsider.com/kremlin-releases-photos-of-vladimir-putins-vacation-in-siberia-2017-8/#-1All the other leaders know I wanted Trump, I worked for Trump, and I got Trump. My minions don't know, but the leaders know what I can do.I hate NATO, and NATO is weakened, I feel the time to displace the United States as a world leader has come and I am making good progress (TPP, and other international agreements are being wrecked) America is no longer what it was. It has become antiscience, anti-higher education and anti-freedom of the press. America is easy to work. Ask any Russian or any world leader and they will tell you, I don't lose.Life is so good for me.I like Trump, he serves my goals very well.

Now you are quibbling with the FAFSA formula and not the school. That's a little off topic.

But if you are making 160K per year and you only have one kid, then 50K per year is something you should be able to handle if you have been saving for college along the way. Of course, there are lots of other factors and everyone's situation is different. The FAFSA tries to take everything into account.

As I heard one financial aid officer put it, "We go off of what your are able to pay. Not what you are willing to pay."

I don't buy into the idea that upper middle class kids are at a disadvantage. It's just the opposite. Upper middle class parents can pay more in cash so they have a better chance of getting their kid admitted. You might pay through the nose, but at least your kid gets in if he wants to attend.

It is not really true that merit based scholarships are not awarded to anyone.

I have three kids - two graduated from college and one who is in the middle of her college education. All three went to college at good schools with 100% of tuition. room and board and a spending stipend to pay for books and miscellaneous. They didn't pay a dime and it was 100% merit based.

So, merit based scholarships are certainly out there. Perhaps not as many as you think there should be but they are there.

^this. There was no reason for it to be a close contest, other than one party chose to put forward an old, white, establishment white woman that clearly has no soul.
