2020 Primaries

[zaqhhh]

For @zaqhhh

Tennessee Higher Education Enrollment Increases for the Third Consecutive Year

Look at the numbers in that report. For that year, it grew less than 1%. So yes it grew, but barely. Probably less than the total rate of population growth.

They didn't back FDR. Why would they back Bernie?

They didn't back FDR cause the Rs back then had to run to the center left to even have a shot at winning.

Now the Republican Party has gone through Goldwater then Reagan and now Trump.

Y'all headed right and just kept trucking it.

I thought Trump was a Democrat.

 

[zaqhhh]

I thought Trump was a Democrat.

Trump was and is an opportunist. He adapts to whatever the party that will give him power would want.

He'd be a fake Bernie if he ran on the left.

He's a far right lunatic emulating Hannity and Alex Jones rn.

How about we go back to teaching a trade in highschool. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, mechanics, welding etc. Each student would be required to take and pass the three year course to earn their highschool diploma. If you still wanted to go on to college and earn a business degree so you could get hired at the cell store you could pay your tuition as you go while moonlighting as a plumber.

 

[LouderVol]

Then why haven't they switched to our system?

see how unreasonable you are about getting it? Imagine trying to take it away.

 

[zaqhhh]

So if I hated it, I'd keep it to spite you instead of admitting I'm wrong to benefit me financially?

Right? Keep drinking the Kool Aid

It seems Mayor Pete had a plan for everything, yet his leadership of a 100,000 person town has been a shltshow.

"Right now there's no way he can stand on the stage and honestly talk about the issues pressing this country when he can't even successfully address the dire issues of race, lack of diversity, and poverty, not to mention the homeless issue in this city," Mario Sims, a pastor in South Bend, said. "If you can't even address those issues in a city of 100,000, my God, how can you address those issues in 50 states?"

There are plenty of people, a lot more actually, that firmly approve of Pete's time as Mayor of South Bend. Look at his approval ratings in South Bend.
One person that disapproves doesn't mean he was a failure. If that was the case, Trump is a failure.
I can post plenty of positive opinions about Pete, but it won't change your mind about him.

What are the other alternatives? The .gov reneging on .gov backed loans?

Capping interest rates, zero interest rates, student responsible for 40%-gov 40%-bank writes off 20%.

 

[LouderVol]

Hmm so even though they are terrible, no one gets rid of them.

Hmm now is it more likely you are just consuming propaganda or every other nation is wrong.

The government doesnt give you a choice. How would people get rid of it?
What's the last government program people actually got rid of?

 

[C-south]

Capping interest rates, zero interest rates, student responsible for 40%-gov 40%-bank writes off 20%.

Why aren’t schools responsible?

 

[luthervol]

So there is approximately $900 million to a trillion dollars in student debt. What percentage is on the Universities?

17%

 

[hog88]

Capping interest rates, zero interest rates, student responsible for 40%-gov 40%-bank writes off 20%.

We were talking about the promise to forgive student loan debt. There are only two options to do that, stick the taxpayers with the bill or the .gov defaults on the loans.

The banks shouldn’t have to write off a penny since these are .gov guaranteed loans.

See the funny thing to me is how much you all scream commie and then you think that the

Tennessee Republican Supermajority Government was too liberal for allowing free education.

Fact of the matter is some of you on this board don't realize that you all are the extremists.

Bernie Dems are really just advocating the party move back to where FDR brought it.

I'm fact 1940s Republican Party would have backed Sanders/Nearly any Dem over Trump and today's extremists on the right.

I bet your eyes are brown.

 

[luthervol]

Now you’re catching on.

I know the answer. Because they can make money.........no other reason.

Lol. Everyone else is the extremist except the one advocating for all their s*** to be free and on someone else’s dime. Lol ok.

 

[zaqhhh]

Literally you are making my point. People don't get rid of the programs because they need them in the first place.

Why do people vote for single payer? Cause they don't have healthcare that works for them now.

So even if they don't like it, they don't get rid of it. They just edit it to something they do like.

Eliminating it without something in plan to replace it (like Trump tried to do with Obamacare) never works.

 

[hog88]

I know the answer. Because they can make money.........no other reason.

Wrong, they make the loan because the .gov backs them. Without the .gov guaranteeing them the banks would not be loaning the money.

That is the way I see it. I don't respond to Luther.

 

[LouderVol]

Because it is needed. You can't just scrap it. If something isn't working, fix it. Don't get rid of it.

Except private health care?

 

[hog88]

@zaqhhh how does Bernie feel about wiping out all VA Home Loan debt? These are gov backed loans.

 

[zaqhhh]

Lol. Everyone else is the extremist except the one advocating for all their s*** to be free and on someone else’s dime. Lol ok.

Actually I quite clearly said I'd be in favor of the Medicare for All Premium Tax and increased tax for Education despite the fact I wouldn't benefit in time.

But to clarify yes you are definitely the extremist.

Listening to you and Hog with your "Hospitals should refuse people who can't pay" and "the Republican supemajority gov" was too liberal with the TN Promise.

 

[82_VOL_83]

So if the Den Socialist party elects Mayor Pete, he would be the first president either not allowed outside the US Embassy in most middle East countries or not allowed to take his "family".

 

[hog88]

That is the way I see it. I don't respond to Luther.

You’re smarter than I am.

Should grocery stores have to give food to starving people who can’t pay?
