You are all talk, spouting out leftist propaganda. You have no clue, just grandioso ideas that can never work. You are not as smart as you think you are. A legend in your own mind.
I would have a war of whits with you but you are completely unarmed.
Only thing dry is your mouth from all the dope you smoke, you must be high.

Don't forget to flush when you're finished.
 
Oh my the F bomb. That shows great intellect, what a vocabulary.

How about issues, like taxes, money, paying for the "free stuff"?
All I hear is garbage, I am educated, you are stupid, I am right, you know nothing.
Not one hint of compromise anywhere on this forums section. Not a hint of working together.
No solutions, not even a try at it. Just a giant waste of time and effort and partisan hacks.
Oh and Russia Russia Russia.

Ok. The solutions is whatever all other civilized nations have managed without any issues for many decades. What has given them a healthier, happier, more highly educated populace, with a lower per capita health care spending.
Oh, that's not what you meant? OK then..

If demand for oil is not falling then why did the price of oil crater before Trump got into office and why has it not recovered since? The answer, derived from the most basic economic concept, would indicate you are very wrong. By the way, solar-powered trucks are coming, faster than you think, and a large portion of my food is sourced locally. I live in a farming town.

Part of it is also due to increases in US oil production in the last 10-15 years where we are now exporting it. Demand may be slightly lower but supply also has gone up some.

Yes exactly but bill seems to think we need to drill for more now that the price is low. Sell low buy high, the recipe for all success.

I believe there instead of separating community colleges and universities, there should be a bridge between them. Community colleges should be free, 100%. Then, when the student finishes community college, if he did well academically and then is able to provide a solid plan for his future in the field he studied at CC, then he should have a full scholarship given to him where his housing and tuition is covered.

Our high school curriculum needs a complete overhaul as well. Humanities are fine and all but there are some absolutely crucial subjects that are not covered, at least not when I was in High School and I have not heard if being covered now in many of the schools. High school juniors and seniors should have classes in balancing a budget, how loans works, be taught about their personal finances in the future, be taught about the different career paths which includes heavy introduction to trade schools (that shows how much they can potentially make in that career path) and what community colleges can offer.

Our high schools should no longer be graded on how many students they can jam into universities and ivy league schools but how well the students graduate high school on those new courses that will prepare them for the future. They should not be allowed to graduate without learning those key life lessons, it would do more harm than good if they are pushed into life and worse, into insanely high cost universities without preparation.

Plenty of sane rational people will agree with this, but the main underlying question is "Where is the cutoff?"

The answer to that question opens up a GINORMOUS can of worms. Because if we made any real legitimate cutoff 60% would be told - nope, sorry, you're too stupid for university. It could be because they want to get a joke degree - or because their grades were too low - or because they would be far better off in a trade-skill.

No one wants to confront that demon though. I'm sorry, but Americans (for the most part) are fucking stupid. The majority do not belong in University. But because of our current system of loans for anyone with a pulse (and parents with low income) that is why we are in the shithole system we are currently in.
