2012 Education Pitch Tested by Vice President Joe Biden

2012 Education Pitch Tested by Vice President Joe BidenSenior White House officials tried to convert three catastrophic crises in the government education campaign for re-election of President Barack Obama.

Vice President Joe Biden to test the formula in a high school in Florida, where he said parents and students considering Obama is the “harsh and draconian” solutions for college costs rise, one of them could be a denial of loans the federal government for education in some universities.

“We believe, we can reduce costs and reduce student debt in any way compromising the quality of education,” said Biden to a quarter of pupils and parents at the Fletcher High School Neptune Beach, Florida.

Biden audience consisted of parents and students face three crises created by the government: the federal government increased fuel costs, the university has the bladder of the Federal Government for property, which devastated the wealth of the parents taken in 2007, and pressures from the federal government have a college completion at the main entrance to the middle class social status.

Every crisis is difficult to gain a degree – give or painful – and all are based on the favored policies of Biden and other Democrats.

Rising costs of school are “breaking hundreds of thousands of parents and ask them:” Is school worth it? “Said Biden.

College costs soared more than 20 years, partly because the federal government offers a number of grants and loans is that the majority of parents and students to pay higher rates, but does not reduce the overall cost.

Biden has discussed this issue when he said that the federal government spends $ at 70.000.000.000 loans every year, and “that federal support goes directly to the university.”

However, Biden spent several minutes listing of several new grants that the Obama Administration said.

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan attended the meeting with Biden and said authorities were considering how to stimulate competition. In addition, the Obama administration to reduce competition substantially restrict profit universities and even limit access to federal grants.

Duncan promise not to stimulate any federal regulation for the competition. “The costs are very, very high … [But] the people with their feet” by matching less expensive schools, he said.

Biden also sorry for the parents about the impact of recession on the ability of parents to pay for college. “Because of the recession [George W.] Bush – the recession, we’ve inherited – what is in flames,” said Biden.

16 billion U.S. dollars from the wealth of Americans declined due to the recession, Biden said that parents and students.

This policy overheated real estate market by the banks to increase mortgage lending to the poor, including blacks, Hispanics and new immigrants. In school, Biden also emphasized the value of university degrees to the social status of a person, regardless of whether the measure that makes a person smarter, richer or more productive.

But this inflation of degrees of importance “because of the lack of a college degree is not too painful for people, whether experts or not.

The social value of a degree is returned by a federal policy that must constantly competing paths the value of social success, driven, including vocational training, manual labor, fatherhood and entrepreneurship.

Experience has shown that follow Biden repeatedly during his speech when he’s on the education policies of the Republicans that cost reduction was hungry caricature.
