Very different situations. With McVeigh, we could actually call him a terrorist. With Obama, no one can be labeled a terrorist. He will probably be let go and charged with trespassing. ;)

Awesome! Positive exposure for expediting is always a win-win.

Nice find. I like your article better as it provides better figures from which to draw conclusions. No doubt though, colleges are big business.

No doubt about it. I think all colleges are likely in that category.

I stand corrected. I was just refering to the title. Compared to the article it is somewhat deceiving. Forgive me, I am allowed to be slow on a Monday.:cool:

And this would be the best place to end something like this.

The percent means little if you don't know what it is based against. As in.....would you rather have 80 percent of $1.50 or 70 percent of say $2.00? A thought to ponder.

It says "Harvard got 5.6 in Federal loans and grants". We don't know nor does the article state what the total of loans were that were taken out. Two different things. Total of the loans and grants isn't relevant to money received by the college. As in....what Harvard actually recieved. Total...

You got it. Bingo! She has everything to gain taking that position.

Grants are generally offered through the Fed or the state. Student loans in their origin are coming from the government (use to be private banks) and are repaid from the student. If there is a default (where we are on a record pace) then the taxpayer picks that up.

They are a private school but students are entering with grants and student loans in which the actual student applies for the money.

Of course they do. Quite a bit actually. Harvard Got $5.6M in Federal Student Loans and Grants--Despite Its $31.7B Tax-Exempt Endowment | CNS News

One other little problem that will make the left go nuts. Rice has between 300k and 600k invested with TransCanada. They are the primary investor with the Keystone pipeline. Of course she wants to be Secretary of State. She stands to gain quite a bit and the State Dept is insturmental in the...

We are BROKE. Every program and budget needs to be cut. EVERY PROGRAM. And that fool we elected is now asking for another stimulus program. OMG. They better start waking up.

Well maybe. A actual grant is funded from the government at the state or federal level. In this case it may include that or a combination of tuition monies. This article says they "can apply" for those funds but they haven't at this point. Who says college can't be fun?;) Harvard Grants...

Have a funny feeling there is probably more to this story. There always is. Seen Dave at the expo and it didn't seem like his drivers had a problem then.

With no personal involvement or a "disinterested third party" looking at it, objectivity is much different. No emotion or history, just looking at what they say and what they do. The disinterested third party would probably describe my views. Of course a major conflict would move that...

I should rephrase. They shouldn't be complicating the simple. But I concede, they are complicating it. Just this morning this little gem came out. Again, retaliation is not going to bring any kind of peace with this kind of stuff. Israel to withhold tax transfer to Palestinians as...

Is that the remnants of "Sweatin to the oldies"?

I am not with E-1 but if I was a betting man, (Which I am:cool:) your issue is that reefer. Looking at what E-1 bids loads for, you are too expensive for some of their freight. Expedite reefer freight that is consistent, is pretty much going to the Cat and the Fed. Doesn't mean you wouldn't get...
