Bravo Sierra! In labor conflicts liberals support the unions that pick their members' pockets to support their chosen politicians while forcing the workers to join or pay "fair share" if they want to work.

Hahaha.. the poorest countries on earth have NO RESOURCES..

If you have no money, you cant educate the population..

The money comes FIRST, not the education..

Thank you republicans.
Hahaha.. and without government, no one ever got an education right?

Thats just complete and utter bull crap.. The USA prospered as a country because it followed a conservative platform of leave us the dam alone.

It wasnt until liberals started interjecting their policies that our country has been going down hill ever since..

The more government TAKES, the less thats left for the nation to prosper... and the lower our nation grows because dumbing down the country is only good for the liberal policy makers, while people like you high 5 their failures

Yes indeed. I understand a lot of those burger flippers at MacDonalds have degrees in the arts and humanities. We need educated burger flippers.

Africa has a HUGE amount of resources-- why do you think China is there stealing them right now?

Yes, the conservative platform of leave us the dam alone while we put our military bases all over the world and invade/go to war with any country that doesn't do what we say.

I got one but since you apparently confuse education with watching Fox News, let me explain to you that before the government got involved only the rich could afford sending their kids to college and when the us government got involved it sent a few millions of the poor ones via so called GI Bill, which many economists believe, allowed for the economic boom of the 50s and 60s. Thats why in 1940 there was only a 5% of population with a college degree, in 1990 it was over 22%. Thats how liberal ideas work: Effectively.

You're welcome.

"Leave us dam alone" was ever an economic platform? Lol

How could we ever ask others to leave us alone when we need their oil and other resources? Lol

You must be a Fox News fan lol

Is this why the conservative states like Alabama and Louisiana are the poorest in the nation while the liberal New Jersey and Connecticut are the richest?

Dumbing down the country? Lol. It was the federal government that sent few millions of WWIi veterans to college, veterans who couldn't otherwise dream of affording higher education, veterans who later created economic boom of the 50's and 60's.

It is the government that spends billions on science and underwrites student loans ensuring more people have a chance of getting higher education and no talent is wasted. If there is anybody dumbing down this country it is the republicans who push for absurdities such as teaching creationism in schools and oppose spending through National Science Foundation. Thats a real dumbing down of the country! Lol

Nope. As a matter of fact the upcoming economic superpowers like India build their prosperity on education. So do the Chinese. You are more wrong than you can imagine. Lol
