About two-thirds of Americans think that we should have free college education for anybody intellectually capable of attending, and free trade schools as well — like pretty much every other developed country in the world (and quite a few of the developing countries). Republicans tell us that we can’t use government funds to pay off our nation’s $1.5 trillion in student debt because we just borrowed that exact amount last year to give tax rebates to billionaires, so there’s nothing left. We’re just not smart enough to fix the problem.

Many problems with this, but the two most glaring are the fact that the Constitution never mentions Christianity, Jesus, God, Bible, or anything like that and also the fundamentalists in the South don't represent all American Christians. Southern Baptists want to force all 300 million Americans to live by their rules and conform to their social norms. That is tyranny of the minority.

Let me correct that - how politicians in Congress - neither side is looking out for anyone but themselves.

1. Choose what, exactly. Can't bring yourself to say the rest of the sentence. What you didn't say was "infanticide".

Taxes are grossly too high and way too skewed against the working rich and too many people aren't carrying their own weight (bottom 40-50% of workers.

Wages are determined by supply and demand, as are all commodities and SERVICES - well except for improperly outside manipulation in the form of ill-advised "minimum wages".

The environment is doing well. Global warming has resulted in mankind's growing prosperity, including agriculture and, recently, the Industrial Revolution. Yes, global warming resulted IN, Not from, the Industrial Revolution.

Infanticide? No... Definition below. To be an infant, thus eligible to be called infanticide, one has be born,
and right at a month old, according to what I can find. First 28 days is considered "newborn". But sure, keep using inaccurate terms to try to make your point. Only proves what we already know about you forced-birthers.

in·fan·ti·cide - .
1. the crime of killing a child within a year of birth.
2. a person who kills an infant, especially their own child.
