Should schools be eligible for some sort of government bailout?

Lmao. They’ve been getting bailouts for years in the form of government student loans that allowed them to jack up exorbitant tuition fees. And the kids and /or parents are the ones paying the “bailouts”.

No

Whenever we stop paying highly skilled gym teachers 5-10 million a year, I’ll consider government assistance. Until then, let’s see if lil Nick and his ilk want to take a pay haircut...ya know....for the kids?

 

[CO Vol]

Yeah, I’m sure they are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy . They are probably getting prepared to issue pro rated discounts to all the students who paid full tuition through end of semester, but got shorted.
Dang, you got to be kidding, right?

Many coaches are taking pay cuts already. It will only increase.

While not technically a bailout, many schools (especially the private ones) will benefit from some of the incentive provisions (Employee Retention Payroll Tax Credit, for example) that were set forth in the COVID relief bills.

The original electronic social network was college students figuring out how to exchange books without paying the exorbitant new/used book prices in the late 90s....

It’s unfortunate but a decent % of small colleges need to fold up shop. The students aren’t there anymore.

No

Not only NO, but HELL NO!

Sure, why not? Heck, let's bail everyone and everything out.

 

[greenbacknative]

speaking of bailouts.... how bout those floating petri dishes, the cruise lines, having the balls asking for a US bail out. They're headquartered in Liberia, and other small countries to keep from paying US government taxes. They're worse than dumbocrats with their hand out waiting a gift.

 

[livefaith]

Fire up the Fed printing presses. What could possibly go wrong?

No. Emphatically no.

 

[RockyTopTexas]

You should never post “Government Bailout”
