RYAN'S SPEECH....GREAT !

[CuteOldGuy]

I worked full time during undergrad, and both post-graduate degrees, Also had a family and small children. It can be done.

One of the major reasons college costs are so high is because someone else is paying for it. Freshmen students don't comprehend what kind of debt they're taking on, but they are lulled into the idea that it will come due later, and they can go to school and party now, and pay later.

Then when their student loans come due, they march in protests demanding that they all be forgiven.

If you want an education, you can get one. It shouldn't be handed to you. It's not my duty to fund someone else's education involuntarily. There are scholarship funds I'll donate to, and other ways to help. We don't need government funding everyone's post-high school education.

Damn, now WE will be calling you a liar and dumbass as well. Good luck!!

I've been called worse by better people.

Isn't it obvious why Ryan cuts back on education?

He's just saving his own ass!
Educated people won't vote for him, he needs, like all republicans, a dumb country.

They all want a stupid electorate, Wave. Both Democrats and Republicans depend on people not understanding that they both want to screw them and take for themselves.

Maybe it's good after all that legally I can't vote.
I'm not a citizen and never will be.

May I ask what your yearly tuition was during that time? Do you think Med students can work FT and finance their way through college with a Full or PT time job? Are you saying it's easy nowadays for a student to be able to afford a 30,000 a year tuition, work FT, study and keep their grades up without any type of loans????
You make this crazy assumption that it can be done- yeah I might be able to run through a burning flame- it can be done but I am going to have some serious burns right??? A person can take a razor blade and slice themselves 100 times also- what does the fact that it can be done and the reality that it's nonsense to expect a middle class working family to easily afford a 30k a year tuition as if it were money they can get from their piggy bank.

Why is that my problem?

True he wants them to be looking at Romney Ryan posters...

Contrary to your beliefs, Odumbo polled higher among high school dropouts than McCain among 2008 voters.

The federal government isn't allowed to spend any money on education. It's prohibited by the Constitution. Education is supposed to be paid for by the states.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

I noticed you left out this part. I'm sure it was just an oversight.

Wow, Munchie! You've proven your point! There is something definitely wrong with our educational system!

Thanks for pointing that out!
