Terrorism in France = invoke 9/11 as a pivot. Problem is that she did it at a completely idiotic time. It's probably something she was planning to use and consciously decided to use, but she dropped the ball on the timing/context. Should have been used to defend her hawkish/spying policies, not accepting bank lucre. It's getting some play today, too.

Skeesix posted:Frankly that would be worse at the college level. At least k-12 school is currently nationalized. Colleges (excepting community colleges) are in the business of being more elite than the next school. Throwing them more money and saying you'll cover college for everyone just means that schools will dump that money into the construction of buildings that only look good on a campus tour and make their school still more expensive. The only way to get something for your money is to nationalize the colleges and almost all of them will fight that tooth and nail. Especially if it looks like national k-12 is in bad shape, no one is going to want to be nationalized. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. There is no fundamental reason that public colleges cannot be truly public institutions. This is how they work across most of the world and how they used to work in our own dumb country. It requires oversight and yanking them out of the upward-spiraling "marketplace" in which they compete with private colleges. Instead of running them like corporations, they need to be run like gov't entities. It's not just possible, it makes way more sense than the current infinite loans + no oversight free-for-all.
