How is it help? All he is doing is hurting somebody else so he can give you a handout. </p>

<p>Theres a reason why 20-30 years ago college educated people made more than blue collar workers, and theres now a reason why the blue collar workers make more than the college educated.</p>

<p>Higher education has been the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life, I cant wait till its done with.

<p>Dr. Horse - </p>

<p>You’re so ideological. If you’re that bitter, then perhaps your party should have been fiscally responsible for the past 8 years. They weren’t and the people spoke. At least respect that. </p>

<p>I’m sure you realize that Clinton, a Democrat, ran the most fiscally responsible White House in decades. He was paying down the massive debt from Reagan / Bush I. Obama’s policies are aligned with Clinton’s. Don’t buy the Republican hype held over from the 1960s. </p>

<p>I’m also sure your realize that the GI Bill that paid for the education of soldiers after WWII laid a foundation for the emergence of a massive consumer middle class and is widely regarded as a cornerstone of the ensuing American prosperity and transition out of manufacturing. </p>

<p>I’m sure once you’re out of college you’ll appreciate it more. It’s not just about money. It’s about having a satisfying job. I would like to see a statistic citing your claim that blue collar workers make more than white. </p>

<p>You should examine the bigger picture beyond narrow fiscal conservatism. Sometimes investments in the public good are wise financial decisions for the nation.</p>
