The Truth AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH: 2016 Election
That's a straw man. No one has suggested that. First off there are a lot of low skill jobs that will always need to be done. Trade schools and apprenticeship programs should remain. But college should be easily available for anyone able and willing to go.
That's right. And I want my $13,000 that I'm spending right now back and I want to have my doctorate degree paid for too. I'll make sure that I work less so that I fall under the mark.
Well I don't think anyone has mentioned paying people for past expenses or paying up to the level of doctorate. But I'm with you, it shouldn't cost so much for you go to school. Let's try to make it better for the next generation of students.
Supposedly if you make less than $85,000 then you will get immediate payments. Under $125,000 will be worked in under 5 yrs. Now I don't know where this extra money is going to come from since we are already broke, but hey, as long as I get my piece of the pie then I'll be happy. Otherwise, NO!

They are the only ones getting jobs.
they need to make student debt dischargable in bankruptcy
if kids aren't getting jobs then these schools deserve to be on the hook, they shouldn't be putting people 6 figures in debt for a degree that is totally useless.
education in this country is a joke
student loans are like the one profitable venture our government does
bringing industry back to this country would do a lot to help the working class
Deserting our entire industrial base is a risk to national security and abandoning what made America the envy of the world.
Jacoby,
Yes student loans should be dischargeable, but loans shouldn't be necessary except for degrees past a basic 4 year.
And Nurseangela,
Two things, first higher education an investment that will lead to higher tax income for the government since college grads get paid more on average than non-college grads. Second, we have plenty of money to make this happen. It will only be a drop in the bucket comparatively. Also we could just make the tax system a bit more equitable. For example, we could raise the tax rate for income that comes from stock to the same rate as regular income. That would be more than enough revenue to cover the costs.

I say that we legalize marijuana (yeah, you all heard me) and then do a HEAVY taxation on marijuana, cigarettes, cigars, and alcohol - especially since I don't smoke and I quit drinking.

I'll be thrilled to pay taxes for that. That's actually the mantra of the legalize movement "Tax and regulate." Although let's keep it within a reasonable rate.

Ok then! We agree on something. I'd need a rate high enough to pay for my college, though, so just be sure you smoke a lot, ok?

Don't worry, there are enough of us to give you all the money you'll need and even have enough to give the rest if our school system a nice shot in the arm.

First of all there is nothing inherently wrong with being a Muslim. Secondly going to a wedding of a different faith does not then make a person a part of that faith. I went to my cousin's catholic wedding and I am no catholic.

O'Reilly isn't a doofus. He's a pretty reliable and trusted news source. There's a reason why we are being conditioned not to say "Muslim Terrorists" - because he's on their side.

There's debate on that first two sentences. I wouldn't use the word reliable when talking about O'Reilly. And Obama doesn't say Islamic terrorists because he doesn't want to alienate all the peaceful Muslims in our country and to prevent ISIS from claiming the west is at war with Islam itself.

Above is a link a dear friend and I have been discussing.
It is a poem that starts with
They came for the socialist
I said nothing.
It has been modernized.
Some fear that Trump has been a catalyst.
What do you think.
Side thought Aspies like to be right and tend to get load and forget manners
Above thought includes
me...
