The Democrat Primary Race Is Filling Up

[KMaC]

It may be tax cut, but the messaging hasn't led a good bit of the public to view it that way. People got more money back in their paychecks, but less of a tax return. Sure their net money in their pocket was more, but it didn't feel that way to a lot of people. So I doubt everyone who hears about Biden wanting to end the Trump tax cuts see it as raising their taxes. Such is the world when the voting public doesn't really pay attention to details.

So morons who don't understand basic logic or math will vote Democrat?

It seems to work for Republicans, too, so yes. Such is the state of the much electorate, regardless of party.

 

[Dead Duck]

OK...
So depending on how you vote we are now down to ... you are literally hitler or you're a complete dumbass.


Is that what I'm reading here?

It doesn't apply to everybody, but it sure does apply to a WHOLE lot of people from both tribes. It's why we have been getting progressively worst elected officials since our founding, with only a few bright spots.

Well, Kut, I agree. I met people that couldn't understand, even with the numbers in front of them.

Bernie is going all in on cancelling student loan debt. Plus making public schools free. It will all be paid for by those evil Wall Street folks.

[actaeon277]

Well, Bernie never worked for a living, or ran a business.
So this is all "magic" to him.

I didn't understand why tuition went up so much when other prices were stable or declining. When the taxpayers start footing the bill expect the price to rise to the moon. College towns will be like smaller versions of dc with so much money floating around

Supply and demand?


The perceived value of a college education has skyrocketed.

For STEM based education maybe. I fail to perceive any value in almost any degree that ends in "Studies". The job market supports my view I think, which is why these people with ________ Studies degrees can't figure out why they're having a hard time paying off their student loans.

Dude, I said perceived value, not actual value. The push from HS staff has been "go to college or be a loser". We all no that to be false, but some bone-headed educators have done much to increase the perceived value, without considering the actual value, to the detriment of the children they shove into college education with college price tags.



And I think medical education, lawyerin' and some others have value. But when art started to squeeze in to become STEAM, nope, no way, it's STEM, GTFO art.

No matter what the degree, the completion of a 4 year bachelor's program shows a level of concentration and commitment. Lots of folks "attended" college. A subset of those finish.

Much like a PhD program. The attrition rate is over 50% in the aggregate. Up to 90% at some of the more prestigious schools.

By the way, some of those "art" degrees are in music. Anyone who believes a music program is a walk in the park is not thinking it through.

Its more like a waltz?

1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3....

That's the MFA in Interpretive Dance.


What is it today? Everyone have a bowl of puns for breakfast?

Maybe INGO just feels giddy, and witty, and ... that other thing.
