    Q: Who will work at Mc Donald's, for minimum wage, with a PhD?

    Like I stated previously, deflecting with a link to a fake quote, isn't "answering the question".....

    And I'm not asking you to "jump"...on the contrary..I'm asking you to actually stay focused & answer the question you are specifically asked....

    Otherwise, if you are not posting for a friendly debate, then why are you posting?

        Nobody helped put me THROUGH college. Special? No. Proud to do it on my on? You **** right.

        Just because “your parents” tax dollars help the SCHOOL does not mean they put ME through college.

        You are some kind of special.

        Seeing as I could not edit the original comment for some reason,
        I just want to correct the fat finger mistake before my college education your parents paid for is attacked.

          I agree we should make higher education more accessible but not necessarily cheaper (free). Maybe for those who do not qualify for loans, we could have some type of system where they are taxed at a higher rate until they pay back what was supplemented. A degree is valuable. If the citizen does not see that value, he/she is not likely to succeed in college anyway.

            There are WAY TOO MANY positions in our country that do not require a degree. Skilled labor is already in shortage. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians come to mind.

              Those that want higher ed can get higher ed. You may not get Baylor higher ed, but you can easily get Junior College ed with all the federal and state grants and scholarships that are available for low income folks. College is already free and they get to make money for going to school. Average Pell Grant is about $3000 per semester, tuition & books is about $1500 at a juco. That means you get to put $1500 cash in your pocket per semester to go to school. $4500 cash (tax free) in your pocket per year. How much more "free"/affordable can we make it?

                I wouldn’t mind free college on at least two conditions. The degrees have to be legit. STEM type. No feminist studies or the like. Second, a person has to earn their way in. Now days, there are way too many useless degree plans and basically anyone can go to school.

                    I think the rhino has it right in his description of T-bags assessment of how college for all and health care for all will be paid for.
                    My son is a jr at TAMU. I know how much it cost to send him and to PAY for it. Yea we could have done parent plus loans and put all that debt on him as soon as he graduated but my wife and I chose not to. We hunkered down 20 yrs ago decided to put 5000 a yr back for our childs education. Yea it was hard and there were a bunch of times we wanted to use that money that was "just sitting there" that he knew nothing about.but we stayed true to our selves and saw it through. So far he is debt free and if there is anything left to pay in the end then we will tackle that as we see fit.
                    As for free education. There is no such animal. Taxes will always pay for college tuition for someone. That's the world we live in but I do not agree that the government should give every child a four yr degree on the promised just raising every persons taxes. Not everyone wants to go to college and not everyone can pass college. We can't all be "the smartest person in the room" and there will always be a need for the unskilled labor force as well as skilled labor just like there is for educated labor.

                      The basic principles I learned in Economics 101 disprove EVERYTHING related to "free college" and "free healthcare" and predict what a complete disaster they would be.

                      Why is a supply-demand chart so easy to draw, but so hard for raging libs to understand?

                            And I already told you that MY PARENTS tax dollars subsidized your college education.
                            That state school you went to was funded by my parents tax dollars.
                            And if you took out student loans, those too were funded by my parent's tax money.

                            You think you're special and did it all on your own when my parent's money helped you get through college.
                            The govt helped you get through college.
                            You have a fundamental misunderstanding of federal student loans and where that money comes from, who makes money on those loans, and the actual financial system of the US as a whole. It’s pointless to argue with you on this subject because of the ignorance

                              The money passes through the federal govt and uses our tax dollars in order to be processed.

                              Chingos proposes a change to the federal student lending market that would reduce the likelihood of the government profiting off student borrowers and lower interest rates for those borrowers, while still protecting taxpayers. 


                              Yes private industry can profit on the loans but the federal govt GUARANTEES payment of the loans (and makes a profit themselves) so if the student does not pay the federal govt needs to spend money on recouping the funds from the student in the form of liens just like the IRS does.

                              The federal govt places a cap on the amount of interest that can be charged on these federally subsidized student loans. That is a form of socialism is it not?
                              The govt artificially setting a ceiling on interest rates (profit margins) and then also excluding those beneficial prime lower interest rates to those who make more than a certain amount (wealth redistribution from the wealthy to non wealthy)
