Bingo.
If education were not subsidized, few jobs would require it. At a minimum, specific education would be much more popular than regular education. Three quarters of my 4 year education is completely worthless in my profession. As far as making a living is concerned, it was a giant waste of time and money.
What % of jobs were filled by college grads 50 or 100 years ago? How does this compare to now?
When institutions have guarenteed demand, what do you think happens to quality?
When students are always able to borrow more money, what do you think happens to efficeincy?
When the fed arbitrarily hands out grants, what do you think happens to tuition if that planned income stops coming in?

He basically unloaded on this past week’s ruling allowing corporations as having the rights of citizens and opening, in his words, the “floodgates” to their political donations. He urged Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill to “right this wrong.”
The rest of the speech went like this… Blah blah blah it’s not my fault, blah blah blah, the Bush admin did it, blah blah blah, it was this way when we took over, blah blah blah, why aren’t my pretty words fixing things, blah, I’ll meet you later Nancy.

Yeah, because big corporations hadn’t had any sway in politics prior to that decision. Fuckin’ idiot.
I would pay money for that Barry-Nancy porn video, tho.

Hahaha. When I first saw this, I misread it as “Barney,” as in Barney Frank. I was going to write that I would pay money NOT to ever see that. Ugh, all that abundant flab and wrinkles, and all the high-pitched whining from both of them would give me nightmares for weeks. And since it’s Barney, I’d bet it would be an MMF where Nancy would quickly turn into just a spectator… Yeccch!

Anyone see Justice Alito shaking his head in disgust when Obama dissed the Supreme Court?
Look at :06 seconds into it, Alito mumbles “asshole.” haha
That is down right funny. Obama has been called a liar, and now an a@@hole. People are now understanding who he is, but his wife is going to champion the fight against childhood obesity. Good luck with that one. There might be a tax created on fat people who are on welfare.
I wonder if Chris Matthews also forgot for an hour that Michelle is black?
Ordinarily, you know, every thought he has about a person first has to be filtered through the question of what race they are, so you know he must really have been mind-boggled by the speech.

Speechwriter: “Barry, let’s tell the Supreme Court Justices that they’re all a bunch of fuckin’ idiots!”
Barry: “Don’t they have about 200 years of Constituional Law study between them?”
Speechwriter: “Nah, no worries! The crowd’ll love it!”
Barry: “Okay. I’ll call people who’ve done this stuff for decades a bunch of morons. It’ll make me look like a fighter. Yeah!!”
Washington graybeards and pundits have been insisting that Obama needs to “start over,” “reboot” and “tack to the middle” after Scott Brown’s win in Massachusetts. But Obama’s response last night was to recommit himself to the agenda that has gotten him in so much trouble.
In fairness, the president took a French-bath of Clintonism before he took to his beloved TelePrompTer. He doused himself with the scent of the deficit-fighter and trade-promoter. He unveiled a slew of small, easy, applause-gathering proposals and populist appeals that he knows will go nowhere.
He also indulged in a lot of feel-your-pain pathos, trying to connect with the real Americans suffering from the recession and the misdeeds of a “Washington” that Obama seems to think is run by someone other than him.
But the eau-de-Clinton couldn’t mask the stench – and Obama, in his supreme arrogance, didn’t really seem to care.
I thought it was a decent speech. The GOP response was pathetic- America can’t afford the policies.
So we could afford to cut taxes while running TWO foreign wars (which has never been done before), but we “Can’t afford” to address the problems in America.
Well, the responses are always more or less bad. I swear I know cab drivers who could put together better rebuttals. I suspect in this case there was almost too much to rebut.
I can’t recall people actually laughing at the president when he was delivering a State of the Union speech other then when they would make a joke. He got outright derision laughter when he talked about global warming.

LOL! That was derision? Fucker, that was the Democrats laughing at his allusion to people who will deny facts in the face of overwhelming evidence.
You fuckin people will just make shit up if what really happens doesn’t fit your needs, huh?

Nah he glared at the Republican side of the house, he didn’t smile at the Democrats with his smartass snicker. People openly mock this guy, both here and abroad. He is not taken seriously and that is entirely his fault not the Republicans. His extemporaneous retort to them was “even if you don’t believe in it, it’s still a good idea”. He wouldn’t have defended his statement if it wasn’t being ridiculed. Plain to see in the tape.
Bye the way even the Supremes are deriding him during the speech. That’s already been posted.
In all seriousness you still don’t believe in Global Warming do you? And if you do, do you think the Cap and Trade bill would actually fix it?
