Boin-ney, did I say it right?

I am asking for simple clarity can no one provide it?

You're being disingenuous. An explanation would be wasted time.

Did the original poster really say that the work force would be ruined if too many people got a better education?  OMG, oh no, so many college graduates out there, no one will work at WALLMART anymore!  lol.

Only a True Christian ™ would actually complain about educating the populace for free.

Bah, plenty of people will still not bother to get an advanced education even if we give it away.  It takes more than money.  It takes desire and hard work.  Many people will still skip it and go straight into a trade, or settle for simpler jobs.  What a stupid fear, too much education. Bah.

oh, my glob..

You really cant be this dense, unless you are one of those 'trade school/simpler people' pretending to be 'Sm-aught.'

Again if everyone gets educated with a bachelors, then that degree has no value. it becomes what a high school diploma is now.

Tell me you still don't see the problem?

I know you don't so I will spell it out for you again!

It's the COST. Yes it's free to the student, but it will indeed cost the government, ultimately the tax payer a sh*t load of money to send people to school to advance their 'educations' just to put them in a marketable employment position of a current high school graduate.

Which makes the new gold standard a masters or doctorate... So then is boin-ey going to raise taxes again to pay for the new master/high school diploma people will need to get a min wage job?

Not only that who is he going to raise taxes on if those with money decide to keep it and leave?

So, there was a time when most people barely got a grade school education.  Did making everyone get a HS diploma or equivalent destroy the job market?  No.  Did you know there were people just like you who fought against requiring a HS education, arguing that it would ruin the country? And yet, cheap labor has never been hard to come by.

At the same time we encourage more people o get a higher education, we should also encourage them to get a BETTER education.  Get more people into the STEM fields, where the market is not overrun and indeed is very low on qualified people, and less people in liberal arts or history.

And if people chose to get a liberal arts degree and then go pump gas for a living?  Well, that is their choice, and I'd rather have the population as educated as they want to be.  And yes, I'm willing to pay for it, so we the quality of living goes up for everyone. If my neighbors are more educated, then my life will also be safer and improved.

There are other countries where there is free or very cheap higher education, and NEWS FLASH, they have better economies and public welfare than we do. Not every rich person can leave the US if we raise taxes on them, not even most of them.  50 years ago they paid and didn't leave, they can do it again.  Where will they go?  Most of Europe is worse with taxes on the wealthy.  Russia?  South America?  You are just a selfish prig wrapped up in your own fear mongering. If Jesus were real, you would make him weep.

Your obsession, Drich, with Bernie Sanders and Vermont is no concern of mine.  I don't feel like going down that rabbit hole with you, because I know it leads to Wonderland.

Translation: you right Drich about this like everything else but I will never admit it because you are a great big 'b-hole.'

You're having enough trouble with the things you stuff in your own mouth, probably doesn't help to fantasize about the things you want to stuff in mine. Eh, sport? Was there anything else you'd like to "discuss"?

What do you think will happen when companies like apple and google really start to feel the 'boin'?

Companies that leave the United States in order to evade the taxes they should be paying (as they should help pay for a society that enables their business operations to succeed), let them go. If companies are just going to leech off the government (often the same companies which declare massive profits while underpaying employees), why should we keep them around?

Companies who outsource jobs should be taxed double to make up for the damage they cause by seeking cheaper and more desperate labor overseas in order to line the profits of executives and shareholders.
