8 Reasons College Tuition Is the Next Bubble to Burst

Here are 8 reasons to believe we’re in the middle of a college tuition bubble (that’s about to burst).

1) Tuition is, and has been, increasing at double triple the rate of inflation

2) Students are borrowing more than ever to pay for college

3) For profit colleges are paying homeless people to take out federal loans to enroll

4) Colleges are on a non-teaching staff hiring spree that far outpaces enrollment

5) For profit reliance on federal loans has reached an all time high

6) Schools are spending on luxurious amenities to lure in more students

7) College president salaries are sky high, even in a historical economic downturn

8) The student loan problem cuts across all schools, for profit and nonprofit

hose fault is this? The federal government for making student loans non dischargeable in bankruptcy and loosening lending standards? S

Whose fault is this?

The federal government for making student loans non dischargeable in bankruptcy and loosening lending standards? State governments for refusing to directly fund higher education?  Schools for taking advantage of students and relying too much on tuition increases? Lenders for handing out student loans like candy? Students for borrowing money like there’s no tomorrow?

One thing is for sure, things cannot continue as they are, regardless of how we got to this point.  The housing bubble gave America a hard lesson in what happens when loose credit leads to unsustainable prices.  But unlike the housing bubble, in which foreclosure and bankruptcy allowed people to have a fresh start, the college tuition bubble will haunt young people for life unless bankruptcy laws change.

V.P. Biden Defends Dictator

The Wrong Side of History

Vice President Biden summed up our misguided policy in an interview with PBS last night, "Mubarak has been an ally of ours in a number of things. And he's been very responsible on, relative to geopolitical interest in the region, the Middle East peace efforts; the actions Egypt has taken relative to normalizing relationship with - with Israel... I would not refer to him as a dictator. I think the time has come for President Mubarak to begin to move in the direction that - to be more responsive to some... of the needs of the people out there."

Chinese Pianist Plays Propaganda Tune at White House

At the White House State dinner on Jan. 19, about six minutes into his set, Lang Lang began tapping out a famous anti-American propaganda melody from the Korean War: the theme song to the movie “Battle on Shangganling Mountain.” The film depicts a group of “People’s Volunteer Army” soldiers who are first hemmed in at Shanganling (or Triangle Hill) and then, when reinforcements arrive, take up their rifles and counterattack the U.S. military “jackals.”

The movie and the tune are widely known among Chinese, and the song has been a leading piece of anti-American propaganda by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for decades. CCP propaganda has always referred to the Korean War as the “movement to resist America and help [North] Korea.” The message of the propaganda is that the United States is an enemy—in fighting in the Korean War the United States’ real goal was said to be to invade and conquer China. The victory at Triangle Hill was promoted as a victory over imperialists.

“My Motherland” having been played at the White House will be seen as a propaganda triumph in China.

n as anything other than a big insult to the U.S.,” says Yang Jingduan, a Chinese psychiatrist n

“In the eyes of all Chinese, this will not be seen as anything other than a big insult to the U.S.,” says Yang Jingduan, a Chinese psychiatrist now living in Philadelphia who had in China been a doctor in the Chinese military. “It’s like insulting you in your face and you don’t know it, it’s humiliating.”

Yang sees Lang Lang choosing this tune as an expression of the deeply anti-American propaganda that is constant in China.

“This deeply anti-American chauvinism has been fanned by the CCP for years; Lang Lang is expressing the feelings of this generation of angry young people,” Yang said. Read more at www.prisonplanet.com

China Criticizes US Human Rights Record

From TSA feel-ups to ubiquitous surveillance cameras, from email and phone eavesdropping to assassination squads, from torture to secret prisons, from a massive expansion in the police state to bigger government in general, from illegal searches and seizures to illegal wars, President Hu questioned the US human rights record. Oh, wait a minute. It wasn’t that at all. It was this. (Thanks to Ravindran Kuppusamy.) Read more at www.lewrockwell.com

How To Do More High Yield Internet Marketing Activities

by Michelle MacPhearson on January 18, 2011

Last night I finished reading Michael Masterson’s “The Pledge.” It’s a book about goal setting at first, but rather then just leave you with your goals, Masterson fills out the bulk of the book with strategies to help you actually achieve those goals. Some strategies are very cerebral and some are as practical as “How To Be An Early Riser.”

HIGH YIELD ACTIVITIES FOR INTERNET MARKETERS Writing blog posts for flagship sites (for me, that would be sites like MichelleMacPhearson.com *not* content/affiliate sites) Writing email broadcasts Writing autoresponder sequences Filming video you’ll release for freebie content Creating content (video, PDF’s, images) for products you’ll sell Writing sales copy Broadcasting the availability of new content to your networks like Twitter & Facebook Communicating with your team (giving instructions, assigning work, etc.) Read more at www.michellemacphearson.com

Obama to ease travel restrictions to Cuba

Obama to ease travel restrictions to Cuba, allow more U.S. cash to island

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration Friday said it will allow for more U.S. travel to Cuba, making it easier for schools, churches and cultural groups to visit the island.

A senior Obama official told The Miami Herald the much-expected move to expand cultural, religious and educational travel to Cuba is part of the administration's continuing ``effort to support the Cuban people's desire to freely determine their own future.

President Barack Obama is also restoring the amount of money ($2,000) that can be sent to nonfamily members to the level they were at during part of the Clinton and Bush administrations. There will be a quarterly limit on the amount that any American can send: $500 per quarter to ``support private economic activity.'' Read more at www.miamiherald.com

When it comes to the latest and greatest in marketing tools, maybe you've heard the term QR code bandied about as the next big thing. The initials QR stand for Quick Response, and you should think of a QR code as an easy-to-create, two-dimensional bar code that can be scanned by a smart phone to instantly and effortlessly share targeted content online with minimal exertion by the end user.

I think we're going to be hearing a lot more about these high-speed codes in the months and years to come, because the benefits they offer businesses and consumers are astounding. By pointing a smartphone at the QR code, your customers or clients have instant access to exactly the information you want to impart. All that's required is a smartphone equipped with an easily obtained QR code reader or app.
