UC Education Increasingly Out of Reach for Local Students
<b>surfpuppy, so how would it happen in your best world? How should we educate doctors and lawyers? So many young people are now saddled with enormous student loan debt...how do you think that will all play out for society in general </b> #1- we do not need to educate ANYMORE lawyers-50%-75% of the 40K of annual graduating law students will never work as lawyers-ever, no jobs. #2- We would educate docs and lawyers the exact same was as today-the only difference is the poor and middle class will NOT pay for subsidizing UC professional schools where the graduates are making $100K plus out of the blocks, they can afford the education and should they pay for it based on their income. Boalt law grads are paid as high as $200K per year in total comp their FIRST year-there is no reason the poor and middle class should pay their law school costs. Same argument applies to ALL the professional graduate programs at UC.— May 14, 2012 11:39 a.m.
"60 Minutes" to Air Report on Turkish Charter School Cleric Tied to Bob Filner
Saw the 60 Minutes segment tonight-liked it. Still cannot form an opinion of the leader, not enough info-and where there is a lack of transparency there are usually problems not far behind.— May 13, 2012 8:43 p.m.
UC Education Increasingly Out of Reach for Local Students
<b>The law and medical schools should be cut loose as private institutions and forced to support themselves without tax money.</b> Both the law and medical schools have finally started charging market rates. For the public to subsidize 75% of top 10 and 20 law and medical schools where the graduates will be earning 6 figure incomes was outrageous. That was a very sore point for me, and i am sure for many others had they known about the money these graduates make.— May 13, 2012 8:40 p.m.
UC Education Increasingly Out of Reach for Local Students
I have been sayign the last 2 years-we have turned into a banana republic where the rich and connected few get the best of the fgov and everyone else ends up footing the bills.— May 12, 2012 8:28 p.m.
Utilities Commission Employees Want Investigation of Simon
<b>The complaint states that a California state auditor is investigating Simon allegedly billing the state for expenses of trips on behalf of third parties which had already paid for his expenses.Through this maneuver, Simon has been able to pocket significant sums, says the complaint, which notes that "Simon is addicted to travel -- and to being entertained -- as long as someone else is paying for it."</b> That would be GRAND THEFT.— May 12, 2012 8:29 a.m.

Will Wall Street Cool on Bridgepoint?
B- why dont they just enroll in a communty college then??? It does not make sense, they could get the same living allowances while attending a JC, and get a decent education that means something. I started out at a JC.— May 9, 2012 12:30 p.m.

San Diego Unified Board Backs Cig Tax
My comment has nothing to do with underage smoking and everything to do with a waste of money on so called 'research" whose only function is to line the pockets of the "researchers". I hate smoking, but it is a legal product, and should not be taxed at 500%. It is nothing more than giving more money to gov who do not use it wisely or for anyone but themselves......"Lori" is doing nothing but SPAMMING the Internet on Prop 29 with this dumb post because she is a fake or a paid blogger. She should not be spamming here. BTW Conan, please fell free to back up the bogus numbers Lori posted about 200K not smoking with a link.....I won't hold my breath.— May 8, 2012 2:59 p.m.
San Diego Unified Board Backs Cig Tax
Prop 29 has NOTHING to do with "safeguarding" anyone, it is just a tax for "research", and it protects no one and nothing. What, we don't know cigs and tobacco cause health problems already?? please.— May 7, 2012 2:24 p.m.
