You keep saying Bernie like he is your long lost grandfather. I for one agree that it makes sense to educate people. Its the best thing for the country. Seriously, look at what happened the last two elections and whats happening this election. Educated people are not only what this country needs but also needs for our place in the world. We have a country full of idiots. Does anyone deny this?
Yes young people coming out of the education system tend to be liberal. You see few that lean conservative. I still stand by my observation that it generally only takes a few years of living in the real world to bring them around. I fully believe that as soon as the Republican party stop pandering to religious groups youll start to see less and less liberal minded people being voted into politics. But I recognize thats only my informed opinion. @
Skarekrow posted something indicating it would only cost 75 billion a year to send everyone to college who wanted to go. I find this highly suspect BUT if true we need to question ALL of our law makers why it hasnt happened yet. Back when Democrats had control of Congress and the Presidency and could have done whatever they wanted and did? Telling Americans hey were going to double your deficit of trillions of dollars AND were only going to spend a few billion on education for all... they didn't do it. Why?
People say TAX wallstreet! As if thats really a solution to everything. It will make some people feel better but in the grand scheme it wont bring in this unicorn lead never ending bag of money on a rainbow.
