Quote:Let me see if I understand, You claim the "right wing" jacked up college prices, eliminated public education and eliminated trade barriers? really?

Public education is everywhere my friend.

College is pricy but folks can take out student loans, apply for grants, work and go to school at night, join the military and use the GI bill.

Millions of others have gained a college degree using these various methods. I know because my wife and I have used all of these to gain a college degree.

Trade barriers eliminated by the right -wing? Well the liberal that have been in office for six years now could have easily fixed this issue with the stoke of a pen. Guess its not just a right-wing thing huh?

 

As to welfare, it is a needed program sadly and unfortunately there will always be fraud and abuse in any program that essentially hands out free money.

By the way, the welfare rolls have swelled to record numbers in the past six years. 

 

The right wants to cut back on Public Education funding.  Of course the Left does too.  And the Libertarians.  Funding public education is one of the harder things to get money for.  If everything else was as hard to get money for, let's just say that our military would be a guy armed with a stick.  (A stick that he bought with his own money, because we're not paying for a guy to have a stick)

 

As for taking out college loans... those are outrageous, and people are in debt before they can even get a job, and even then they can't get a job because the degree alone isn't enough.   No, they need experience.  And they can't get experience without first having experience that they can't get without experience.
