    Who said it was a bad ploy? Or that progressives didn't deserve a break? Conservatives leveraged the idea of television news "choice" to present us with the monstrosity of Fox News. Progressives want to leverage college to produce voters that suit their views? All's fair, yes?

    I'm not against education. Love it. Libraries are awesome, one of the great things. I'm not sure how much education occurs in college institutions that couldn't occur outside of them. Certainly, a journalism "education" pales in comparison to just being a journalist. It's stunning to me students actually go to school to learn journalism. It's the one job where you don't have to have a license to practice it!

    If hospitals were smart, and they're not, they'd just start recruiting good students right out of high school and training them to work in medicine. Cut out the middle man.

    Honestly? It's just calling it what it is. I went to college, too. I work with students at times now. It is what it is. The majority of the professors on a college campus are liberals. It's really high in the humanities.

    Since college should not be free, what would be a fair tuition/R&B charge for West Point, Navy, Air Force and CGA, places that students get paid to attend?

    No, I went to the cheaper state university 180 miles to the east. But I wanted to go to Vandy and was researching tuition costs at the time. But nothing short of a Grantland Rice scholarship was going to get me there.

    Why not just train in that career?

    Hey, maybe it works beautifully. Maybe the progressive cities in America, San Francisco and Seattle, are divided more sharply into haves and have nots than we ever could have imagined. How'd that happen, in such progressive places, where you're either tech rich or pooping on the streets, and there's virtually no middle class?

    And if that's the small-scale model of progessivism, if that's the evidence on hand, why would we have such confidence in this open-source, full-equity system of which they speak? Wouldn't we first ask, rightly, hey, how's come America's most progressive city is so fucked up?

    . That’s the kind of obvious bullshit espoused by weak-minded hacks and trolls. SeaTac and the whole NoCal Valley is awash in middle class. Capitalism has taken firm grasp there even with progressive politics. They are making tremendous amounts of money and a vibrant middle class of entrepreneurs and tangential businesses have done well. Construction, plumbing, electrical, restaurants and other services are thriving. The homelessness is a function of conservative politics in mental health care. The government should be taking care of the mentally ill, who make up the bulk of the homelessness. But we still haven’t recovered from Reagan and the Gingrich and their war on the mentally infirm.

    Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, objected ...

    "Our nation is strong enough, and compassionate enough, to have a responsive and fiscally responsive approach to help people who are hurting in the wake of natural disasters," he said.


    What an asshole. Dump it all on local taxpayers. ... What was his position after Hurricane Harvey wrecked Texas?

    What else would you expect? Conservatives aren't known for their eagerness to help others get ahead.
