President-Elect Trump Posts Christmas Message To "Wonderful Soldiers of China", "Governor Trudeau", And Greenland Authored by Eric Lendrum via American Greatness,In a humorous Christmas Day post on social media, President-elect Donald Trump sent a warning to the “wonderful soldiers of China” over a possible dispute involving the Panama Canal, and also poked fun at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.As Breitbart reports, President Trump’s annual Christmas message on his website Truth Social wished a “Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in ‘repair’ money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about ‘anything.’”“Also, to Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World,” President Trump continued.“Likewise, to the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the U.S. to be there, and we will.”The post referenced several major negotiations that the president-elect has already undertaken before even being sworn into office in January.He has suggested that the United States should retake control of the Panama Canal for reasons of national security and trade; he has also reportedly been considering an attempted purchase of Greenland, which is owned by Denmark.In a recent meeting with Trudeau, President-elect Trump reaffirmed his decision to impose a steep tariff on all Canadian imported goods. Allegedly, when Trudeau warned that such tariffs could crash the Canadian economy and lead to the nation’s total collapse, Trump joked that perhaps Canada should just become the 51st state instead, hence the nickname “Governor Trudeau.”Following the joke, Trudeau’s government has fallen into crisis with the resignation of his Deputy Prime Minister and multiple opposition parties calling for a vote of no-confidence, which would trigger a snap election that could see Trudeau finally ousted from power.In a separate Christmas Day post, President Trump again wished a Merry Christmas to “Radical Left Lunatics.”“They know that their only chance of survival is getting pardons from a man who has absolutely no idea what he is doing,” the post continued. “Also, to the 37 most violent criminals, who killed, raped, and plundered like virtually no one before them, but were just given, incredibly, a pardon by Sleepy Joe Biden. I refuse to wish a Merry Christmas to those lucky ‘souls’ but, instead, will say, GO TO HELL! We had the Greatest Election in the History of our Country, a bright light is now shining over the U.S.A. and, in 26 days, we will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. MERRY CHRISTMAS!” Tyler DurdenThu, 12/26/2024 - 13:15

State Lawmakers Say Drastic Change Needed To Make College Affordable, Worthwhile

State Lawmakers Say Drastic Change Needed To Make College Affordable, Worthwhile Authored by Aaron Gifford via The Epoch Times,For millions of American college students, things can go from bad to worse in a hurry, as they take on long-term debt to finance higher education and earn a degree that, based on labor market demands, isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.Data analyzed by a group of state lawmakers across the country indicates that significant changes are needed to the U.S. higher education system—still viewed as the envy of the world—if a college degree is going to remain the best path for long-term financial stability.“The public discourse on higher education ... is filled with anxiety over a host of issues,” stated a recent report from the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Task Force on Higher Education.“The affordability of higher education tops the list.”The report was written by 29 legislators and four legislative aids across 32 states. The two-year project, completed in October, provides suggestions to college and university leaders and state and federal lawmakers for making college affordable and worthwhile.Task force chairs state Sens. Michael Dembrow from Oregon and Ann Millner from Utah discussed the report during a Dec. 20 virtual town hall event and pledged to lobby the federal government and universities to consider its recommendations in the years ahead.“It also cuts through some of the myths of higher education,” said Dembrow, a Democrat, while applauding the bipartisan effort. “It’s focused on what we can agree on first. I was surprised at how much we agreed.”Collective student debt in the United States is nearly $1.8 trillion, three times that in 2006, according to the report. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found that student debt is also the second-largest form of debt in the nation behind mortgages. One-third of borrowers have debt but no degree, reported the U.S. Department of Education.The population of undergraduate students declined by 2.4 million students between 2012 and 2022, and the vast majority of students attend public four-year institutions as many community colleges and private schools struggle to stay afloat, according to the report.Even though tuition and college costs have increased faster than the rate of inflation, the maximum federal Pell Grant award for eligible students has only increased by 10 percent since 2003, to $7,395 this year. And yet, the federal government spends more than $37,000 per student, or 2.5 percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product, compared to about $15,500 per K-12 student, the report says.The report found state education departments can expand dual-enrollment programs so students can earn more college credits while in high school and lessen the amount of time and money needed to complete a degree program after they earn their diploma. Higher education institutions, public and private, can help out with this initiative by being more transparent about what credits earned in high school will...
