Yes, I do. Owing money and paying interest on it is always a loss. Some people net that loss against investment gains, but young college grads aren't usually in the position to do so. Especially in Sweden where they earn lower incomes.
Uh no...as you just demonstrated you do not understand. Sad aa you are so opinionated.

Let them work for that almighty dollar on their own time. We need to find dedicated people, not opportunist. That'll separate the men, from the boys ... so - to - speak.

Those who are work for the (not a freudian) government who are voted into office ... those who voted people in, should review the person's resume better ...

Last I checked they make roughly $3500.00 a year, many take on extra gigs ... they were not the ones (on federal payroll) and now that you mention it, they could use a hefty pay raise.
I volunteered as a VISTA in 2008 and I've thought, that our state representatives and federal government personnel would be suited for that pay rate, ever since, if they hold a placement by vote to office. It should go with the territory of being 'in service to America' and they should be there 'dedicated' to America's best interest, not the (people's) paycheck.
I have to argue that how to educate your children is YOUR responsibility, not the taxpayers.
If it has to be the taxpayers responsibility, the children must meet certain minimum standards including but not limited to not committing any crimes and not becoming a welfare recipients.
Lol, no need to worry about my children. I was replying to misleading post that compared apples and oranges. First statement was that VAT is used for HC, which it is not. Second was comparing rates without saying what you get in return.
