Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
I disagree with the headline of the article you clearly didn't read.

Here is the headline:
U. South Carolina Increases Tuition To Pay For Employees' Obamacare

Here is a section of the article:
The increase of 3.2 percent – about $342 per student – will pay for state-mandated employee pay raises, health and retirement benefits, and Affordable Care Act implementation, campus leaders say.

Notice anything missing from the headline?

College tuition has been going up every year for years, luckily we can just blame Obamacare now.

You must have missed the part where is said that Obamacare will cost the University $4.5 milion this year for Obamacare alone.
That sounds like it would make up a majority of the $342 per student increase.
It looks like you are not facing the reality of this Obamacare disaster.
Keep making excuses. The time until this law hits critical mass is coming very soon.

Bad at math?
What math are you confused about?

"The 3.2 percent tuition increase will raise about $18 million."

The university would have needed to raise tuition even without Obamacare, because they are underfunded from the state. They increased tuition 2.5 percent last year, and still are 13 million in debt, even after a 6 million dollar loan.

Obamacare is a scapegoat in this case. Sorry if that doesn't align with your agenda.

Again, are you bad at math?

Where do you come up with the $18 million dollars being raised by the tuition hike?

According to the University of South Carolina's own web page, the college had 31,964 students in fall of 2013.

Those students paying an extra $342 per year would give the college about $10.93 million a year in new revenues. (Where do you come up with $18 million?)

Another typical liberal democrat, just bad with numbers and money, but has no trouble wanting to tell other people how to run their lives.

No, I'm not bad at math, and I'm not a liberal or a democrat.

The increase is 3.2% for in state, and 5% for out of state students. Not to mention they have 7 satellite campuses you're not including in your math. Stop trying to run the numbers yourself bro, you're digging your hole deeper.

I saw in the shoutbox you responded to my post hours ago.... what'd you do to get yourself in the moderator's que champ? Surely it wasn't your friendly demeanor.

I posted a link to the source in my post:

Your link says nothing about a 5% out of state tuition hike or 7 satalite campuses.

I got my information off the university's own web page.

And if you are not a liberal democrat, that only leaves socialist or communist as the only options left.

Because damn, you are the opposite of what our founding fathers were hoping for.

You have trouble admitting when you're wrong huh?

Your liberal/communist logic is clouding your judgment.

You still think Obama is a great President, don't you?
You clearly have nothing relevant left to say, or you wouldn't be trying to shift the conversation by compartmentalizing me into a political party that you hate. Is everyone who disagrees with you a liberal/communist?

Does anyone else notice that when you post something that a few people disagree with, they go crazy with the "X" or "OLD"?

It's like being back in 3rd grade.
