Students at Temple University in Philadelphia, or perhaps their parents, are getting a great lesson today on the real life economic consequences of liberal political policies run amok. Courtesy of Philly’s new 1.5 cent per ounce ‘soda tax’, Temple has been forced to hike it’s 2017-2018 boarding costs by $400,000, or roughly 4.8%. Per Philly.com, Temple’s CFO said they will roll back the planned $400,000 meal plan hike if the soda tax is repealed.
