Apparently we learned nothing

[garbage can]

In order for "everyone" to go to college the standards would have to be lowered to the point the market worth of the instruction wouldn't be any better than a high school diploma. Only qualified people should go to college, those who can't qualify should go to trade schools.

Agreed, if we had a good economy, there's plenty of good paying jobs in the trades.

Actually, if you want a free education, join the military. After you leave, take advantage of the G.I. bill.

You give to the country. The country gives to you.




Don't forget what Kennedy said about priorities.

Not really and flooding those markets won't help much in the long term. I have nothing against trade school mind you, I think it should be a viable choice for people. I'm just not fooling myself into thinkint that if we drastically increased the number of people competing for what are solid middle class jobs that supply and demand wouldn't function exactly as it's supposed to.

Yeah, he said something that sounds so incredibly communist that even most liberals get a shiver of "damn you could have found a better way of phrasing that!"
