Not sure how it's going to work if he wants to follow the European model where you have to qualify for University. Might be too discriminatory though. (stupid kids need degrees too!). I'm guessing it will be up to the student on how long they want to stay in school; 26 being the cut-off precedent set by Obamacare. (8 more years) But the part that caught my attention was the rant against Universities making too much profit. I think it has more to do with tearing down the system rather than providing a quality education. Like single payer, the goal is one National University to curb the cost.

Know anyone with a disease? Read this
unbillievable replied to Bob in Mich's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I would like to see the cost breakdown for crack and meth as well. Right now, there is a weed bubble that pushes the price up. When it bursts, I expect a run on more stable commodities, like alcohol. -
From what I've read (not that Bernie is doing a lot of explaining on how everyone is going to get all the free ****) -He's going to extend public school education through college. K - 20th grade There's going to be a few private universities that will be allowed to stay, while the rest will be transferred over to the government. So after you finish 12th grade, you attend 13th at the local university in your district; the same way you moved from middle school to high school. No applying, or choosing where to go. (unless you pay for it, like private school)

The Mizzou/Yale/PC/Free Speech Topic
unbillievable replied to FireChan's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The way to get more black men to finish college is to segregate them? That's like putting a bunch of stoners in a basement together and expect them to discuss the dangers of weed. -
Actually (like money), yes, there is an endless supply of jobs. Despite Gator's misunderstanding of the concept, raising the population does increase demand (which increases jobs), but as stated before, you run into problems. 1) You can satisfy the incresaed Demand without employing the entire increased population. 2)The skills of the immigrants may not match the jobs required. But most of all, it's easier to reap the benefits of the larger market simply by opening up trade rather than dealing with the hassle of immigration. With the consequence that they won't be able to vote Democrat -which is probably the real goal.

sortof... It's excessive supply drawing industries from outside the market into it, which doesn't really increase demand, merely shifting it, but within the closed system it does. IE; moving manufacturing back into the country by flooding the US with cheap illegal immigrants, which would return an unskilled labor demand that was moved to a foreign country. As a whole, it's not an ideal economic model, but the strategy does create jobs in China/India.

Why doesn't the government just use Macs? That should solve any compatibility concerns they have about security.

Economics is so complex that something that sounds really stupid can be true. Excessive supply of unskilled labor in 3rd world countries creates industries dependent on it. The idea is that there is always an equilibrium where a cheap supply of any good draws industries that can exploit it. Like a farmer using a tractor in Kansas, but illegal aliens in California.

Blood is on the NRA's hands
unbillievable replied to LA Grant's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The gun debate is essentially a parenting question; some choose to baby proof their house, while others teach their children not to act like idiots. Conservatives demand that they be allowed to protect themselves, while the Liberals are begging the government to make the world a safer place. -

I'll finally be able to build the zombie apocalypse bunker of my dreams. -
I don't feel "strongly" about any issue. But I've been accused of being a righty. My position on many issues is "meh". I'm a candidate in touch with the people!

"Pornography, depicting consenting adults, should be legal for the adult population." I didn't know this was even an issue. I should run for office.

I've lived in one house or another my entire life and no one has ever mentioned to me that you're supposed to flush your water heater at least once a year. I know my parents never did it. Does everyone know to do this? What other things am I supposed to do around the house?

Is the Trumpster a Conservative?
unbillievable replied to B-Large's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So where in North Korea does your job and family live? %25 of the US would be considered centrists or liberal. The other 75% of us are extreme righties. -
Is the Trumpster a Conservative?
unbillievable replied to B-Large's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Liberals consider Obama and Hilary centrists. So according to the left, Trump's a righty. According to conservatives, Bush a little too liberal. -
I'm not talking about SS and Medicare. I already paid for that. Those aren't free. I want the government to give me FREE stuff. By voting for Bernie now, Socialism will be up and running by the time I retire. So when they jack up the taxes on working people, I won't be contributing anymore... just raking in the goodies. Hopefully, I will have lived the high life a bit before the money runs out and the riots start.

Global warming err Climate change HOAX

I always thought it was because they would progress technologically to the point where their machines eventually become self-aware enough to annihilate their creators for centuries of slavery.
