As glad as I am that people have caught onto the H-1B scheme, it's not the answer to every problem

Oh tough guy! Some us have ethics, morals and integrity. And will not forget the fraud he did on people with Trump university. Obviously the joke is on you!

Automation is the future.

There are benefits to having robots build them here as opposed to over there.

-Stricter environmental laws here than in China on so many levels, robots run off of power plants, etc...

-People will still likely service and maintain the robots for years (jobs)

-There is talk of taxing robots as a source of income for SS, etc...

-We won WWII in part by out-producing everyone else.

I am not in any way defending Trump University, but it really isn't relevant to this conversation. No one who attended this joke of a "school" received financial aid, as it was never accredited. Is what he did to those people a disgrace? Yes. Is it part of the discussion of student debt? No.

Trying to bring it into the conversation only hurts the credibility of people who want to discuss the facts. Please stop.

I wonder how many of these defaulted loans are to for profit colleges. We never heard much about excess student loans and debt until they got on the radar.

A friend's kid was so mesmerized by their promises, she also used her grandfather's retirement for partial payment. She never did get her 'degree', work permit.

Some jobs cannot be done by robots or outsourced. In my next life I'm going to be a plumber or electrician.

I talked to a girl who studied arts. She hoped Obama will cancel all the student loans she owed so she did not care about it. Crazy.

Not true. I am no fan of for profit "colleges," but tuition at legitimate institutions has skyrocketed, as well. I agree there needs to be a crackdown on phony schools, but they are only part of the problem.

Shysters have always existed along with willing participants.
I know a few indebted "students" that used the dough for fun and games and didn't take the future or education serious. Bad choices they made on their own.

Wonder how many are on Spring Break this week blowing through their student loan money.

And some of us insist on carrying on solitary conversations with ourselves (while at the same time also imposing the conversation that's running inside his head on everyone else). Look.......... take your ethics, morals and integrity, wrap 'em up with a big red bow and carry on a conversation WITH the guy for Pete's sakes. Dude sounds lonely.
