What if the SUPER RICH could keep you out of college, so you'd never get a job. How would they make sure only their sons could make a living? Easy. Raise college fees sky high.

Our answer? WHO NEEDS COLLEGE? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING DEGREE!    READ THE SECRET  OF THE GUERILLA CAPITALIST and the CRATE OF TOMATOES.

Protests erupted this week on university campuses throughout California in response to the decision by the University of California Regents'Finance Committee to hike student fees to unprecedented levels. On the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), police responded violently to student protests.The Regents met on the UCLA campus on Wednesday to finalize plans to increase student fees by 32 percent, bringing tuition for the nominally public university system to over $10,032 a year. What family can spend a thousand a month on a kid's college? This is the first time in history it has passed the symbolic $10,000 marker. Half of the 32 percent hike will take effect in January 2010, in time for the start of winter quarter. The other half will take effect in the Fall of next year.

     It is likely, however, that conditions in the UC will continue to worsen due to the emergence of a new shortfall in the
     California budget. Just four months after state lawmakers resolved an estimated $24 billion deficit, the state is once again
     in fiscal meltdown. Despite across-the-board cuts to government spending on social programs, the estimated deficit has
     grown exponentially” to an expected $20-25 billion over the next 18 months. This means that California Governor
     Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Democratically-controlled California State Legislature will likely push through another
     round of austerity measures this Spring, which is likely to include another cut to funding for the UC system.

     Protests began at various UC campuses on Wednesday. On the Santa Cruz campus, approximately 500 students
     blocked traffic at one of the campuses main entrances. Protests at the University of California, Berkeley drew about
     1000 students and faculty members.

     The most pronounced opposition has been seen on the Los Angeles campus, where the Regents met to approve the
     most recent fee hike. On Wednesday, students from other UC campuses rode buses to UCLA to join the protest.
     Hundreds of students surrounded the building where the Regents were meeting, throwing food sticks and vinegar soaked
     bandanas at the police, who were lined up in full riot gear to quell the unrest. The large police presence indicates that the
     state anticipated the opposition that the unpopular decision would draw from students.

     In the early afternoon on Wednesday, spontaneous protests erupted at Bruin Plaza on the UCLA campus. Reports of
     police violence, while not receiving coverage on mainstream media outlets, filled blogs and the online accounts of
     independent observers. One eyewitness related the following through an email circulating within the university community:

     "I just arrived safely back from UCLA. I will never forget the atrocious events that happened today. Students who
     were practicing non-violent protests were beaten, tased, harassed and ultimately disrespected by police. Three of my
     friends were tased, one girl was hit in the face, someone broke their leg, and my own sister was pushed to the floor by
     plice officers, and her boyfriend was also hit by the officers.

     Police made 14 arrests, a majority of which occurred at the Regents meeting when students spoke out against the
     decision to raise fees. Eyewitnesses insist that at least three members of UCLAs Afrikan Student Union were
     tasered. Police helicopters circled overhead, and threatened to use tear gas to disperse the peaceful protests.

     On Wednesday night, students at UCLA camped out in front of Campbell Hall in a continuation of the protest. On
     Thursday morning they stormed the building, barricading themselves inside. Others did the same in one of the parking
     structures on the campus. Large portions of UCLA were shutdown as a result of students’ actions on Thursday.
        WSWS reporters were at the UCLA campus on Wednesday talking to students involved

     A student named Jessica told reporters: they are raising our fee so as to make it unfeasible for low income students
     to come here anymore.

     She agreed that both the Republicans and Democrats in the California legislature and Congress have been complicit in
     gutting funds for education in favor of subsidies to big business.

     She continued, I think we should stop cutting education spending; especially in California, I think we should increase
     education spending, we should focus our spending on social services and not on subsidizing companies.â€?

     Amidst the students and employees, other concerned people attended the protest as well. Elario, a Mexican immigrant
     who has lived in the US for 20 years, is currently unemployed. He explained that he participated in the students’ rally
     to show his solidarity. Elario said that society must be able to produce more educated students, workers and
     professionals, not soldiers to fight imperialist wars.

     Elario continued by saying that the current policies have created nothing but unemployment. He insisted that if working
     people and students do not oppose them, they will get worse.

     The situation facing UC students, which has reached a crisis level, as demonstrated by the protests occurring on
     campuses throughout the state, is not simply a product of the economic crisis facing California. The Obama adminstration
     has made a conscious and explicit decision to refuse any sort of financial aid to the states in the current downturn, despite
     the fact that Wall Street banks have received trillions of dollars worth of bailouts and other support. The massive fee
     hikes facing students in California are a direct product of the policies of the President and the Democratic Party.

*Charlie Rose Show had some expert  commenting on film of obama's 'economic' promises speech where we get a good look at how UNLIBERAL PROGRESSIVE OUR so called PEOPLE'S PRES really is --- but my ears perked up at a quote regarding education "you think education is costly? IGNORANCE is more costly."  Good line but what is OBAMA  really doing?

He intends to fix the schools by promising to give all kids IPADS (within FIVE YEARS) He won't even BE HERE IN FIVE YEARS! Easy promise to make  Meanwhile, his best boy chum RAHM just cut fifty Chicago schools, Cut them out of the side of illinois. FIFTY IN ONE CITY. CUT.  IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? I'd have guessed CHI didn't even HAVE fifty schools

Then the guest mentioned all the phony distracting scandals buzzing around Obama's head. Which is he talking about? Guns to Drug Czar program? Trillion buck bailout for oligarchs? More fracking so that hundreds of homes at multiple sites across USA are suddenly abandoned. Unsellable? Or maybe just the fact our president prefers pretty gay males like Rahm and Kal. I'm ok with that last one, ONLY.
