USC, Yale University among colleges sued by Stanford students amid college admissions scandal

I'm saddened to hear about this bribery scandal with respect to all the brilliant young people who could have benefited the world by having an education at these prestigious colleges.

Just how many buy-ins are now in positions of influence or even making laws for the rest of us? Might we want to question what we've been told is truth and facts to live by? Just saying .....

Could this scandal potentially go deeper than just getting in the door? Just wondering ....

I hope those who are suing prevail big time in court. Wink

Study: Migrants Using Nearly 2X the Welfare of Native-Born Americans

Is it really amnesty they're coming for?

Study: Migrants Using Nearly 2X the Welfare of Native-Born Americans

" .... Currently, there is an estimated record high of 44.5 million foreign-born residents living in the U.S. This is nearly quadruple the immigrant population in 2000. The vast majority of those arriving in the country every year — more than 1.5 million annually — are low-skilled, poor or working class foreign nationals.

The legal immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.

As Breitbart News reported, the majority of the more than 1.5 million foreign nationals entering the country every year use about 57 percent more food stamps than the average native-born American household. Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44 million foreign-born population translates to the average immigrant household costing American taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare."

Why Socialism Fails Every Time

Second paragraph describing socialism like a Ponzi scheme sounds on point. 

Why Socialism Fails Every Time

"....First,  every socialist country has risen on false promises.  These promises include untold prosperity, equality for all, and security for its citizens – said security, of course, is provided by gun-toting soldiers of the regime. The promises sound good. Still, every country that has fallen for socialism’s rosy picture has been driven into abject poverty, starvation, despair, and a two-caste social system with a few masters on top and everyone down at heel at the bottom.

Like any Ponzi scheme, socialism must collapse under its own weight.  Any initial signs of success under socialism seduce and enthrall, like an enchanting mistress. These successes, however, are quickly eradicated by economic and philosophic reality. Mistresses rarely live up to their initial allure. The record of socialist’s failure is 100 percent and remains unbroken. The result is 100 predictable – poverty, hunger, and a tyrannical government that rules by force instead of rule of law. ...."
