Don't worry, IBIdiot, I'm sure there a proposal in the works to help educate GED dropouts!

Then again, it's so cheap and easy to make ignorant poor folks. Youre living proof.

BTW -- what does it cost to go to college in Israel, JLiar? Who pays?

Obama successfully nationalized student loans sand now he wants us to pay for more "investments" for our future. I wonder how many "stings" will be attached to such a program that will forever indebt the students to the government.

How do you propose to help kinds get the education they need to face the future and keep up with the youth of other, more advanced nations?

There is no degree plan in caterwauling.
Poor education and poverty result in more crime.

Fuck, why don't you just give everyone a PhD, then the USA will be the most educated country in the history of the world....

Plus, I hear those with PhD's are less likely to commit gun crimes. Dr Ted Kaczinsky comes to mind - he never shot anyone!!

Who determines what "working hard" is?
Will college students have to meet certain academic standards to prove they are working hard? That sets up a dumbing down of the entire higher education system the same way we've dumbed down secondary education.
Why can't we require welfare recipients to work hard?
Not everyone needs or wants a college education.
When the world is full of doctors and lawyers the only millionaires will be the garbage men. Not sure of the source.

Well, one must be ignorant to be a liberal. Perhaps progressives believe that the "dumning down of a nation" will help produce more progressives. I do not believe that most liberals are stupid, but face it. it does happen.
I contend that you must have tunnel vision, and be ignorant, stupid or any combination of the three to be a liberal.

Name your own poison gentlemen.

Obama Calls for Two Years of Free Community College for All Students

President Barack Odumbo on Thursday proposed offering free community college nationwide, in effect extending government-funded education from kindergarten through a two-year degree.

“I’d like to see the first two years of community college free for everyone who is willing to work for it,” Mr. Odumbo said in a video posted Thursday on Facebook. “It’s something we can accomplish and it’s something that will train our workforce so that we can compete with anybody in the world.”

You should be able to find them with a simple search, boardman.

But just in case, here are a few links to get you started.

I'd say the dumbing down started after WWII and is quite easy to see by reading the posts in this forum.

The RWWipes revile education as some tool of "elitists." Hard working Americans will always prevail, education or not. it used to be we outsourced jobs to other country because of the cheap workforce. It's beginning to look like it's because of the better educated, more highly skilled workforce.

What part of this don't you understand?

Fuck 'Em goddammit! We're the USA! We'll decide who's educated or not! Right IBHomo! You just can't trust a PhD!

YOW!

Yet we spend more per student than almost all of those other countries.
