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

I don't like it but I'd probably compromise and let people include student debt in Bankruptcy if they had special circumstances like job loss or medical issues

Compound interest should be taught every year to every student. Even in college. Every math class should start with a 5 minute reminder of how dumb you are if you aren’t contributing to your 401k. It’s crazy how much people leave on the table.

i can’t agree more. We don’t get a lot of do-overs in life but that’s one I’d like to have had.

In 1966 I went to work part-time after school at a local grocery store for $0.75 cents an hour....just starting out. Back then I was too dumb to know what the pay wage was. Finally, worked myself up to a $1.80 cents an hour after a couple of years at a different store in town. Man, those were the days I learned a lot about schitt to help me on my way to success in life....

I remember two times in my life that taught me that doing your best paid off...when I worked in the grocery store us bagboys were each given one aisle to keep stocked..mine was the cereal aisle every time it got slow I would run back and block everything to the front .the DM saw it and gave me a quarter raise and a promotion to the produce department...when I worked for Walgreens as a tech in college the district manager said I had great customer skills and gave me a 20 dollar gift card...I was broke and a single dad but spent the entire thing on children's books to take home to read to my son lol

Healthcare should be affordable, but it shouldn't be free. Education should be affordable, but it shouldn't be free. Expecting things to be given to you is no way to go through life. I think we need to find a way to mitigate costs, how I'm not exactly certain, but you earn your way through life. Things are not just given to you. That's not reality. Life owes you nothing.

See the problem is you all will treat this election like a cakewalk and then have such a meltdown when you realize you should have taken it seriously.

I mean I though the tea party was crazy.

You all are going to have to riot in the streets when Bernie wins.

Berns not winning. You need to go ahead and accept that fact.

Healthcare and college will never be free. Being free at the point of service does not mean free. Grade school isn’t free. Roads aren’t free. Police protection isn’t free. But we don’t have to pay money at the point of service to send our kid’s on the bus to school, drive on a road, or call 911 when someone is trying to break into our house.

You get your education, get out, make more money, pay more taxes so the next generation reaps the benefits and does the same thing. It's not free. Not only that, educated people tend to take care of themselves better and have fewer health problems.

It’s not “ gay people “thing , it’s a biology thing . There’s a before puberty, during Puberty and after .

That's what I said (hormones, brain chemistry). Since you seem to have figured it out and linked being gay to stages of development, I want to hear your theory in detail.

I have kids , they help you figure out what puberty is and does to children . Oh and I also was taught basic biology in school . There’s no gay stages , there’s only stages of advancement through biology. This is well documented and a 10 second google search will give you all the details . 9 year old boys shouldn’t know if he’s gay or not . If you are having to talk about being gay or straight with your nine year old , ( IMO ) there should be a lot of questions being asked why . Unless you as a parent are the source .

If Bern is the nominee, I expect to see low democratic voter turnout. I expect to see Trump do better among minorities this time and moderate Dems either vote Trump or just not show up.

This is your experience. That doesn't make it fact for everyone.

You have kids and basic biology in school (high school no doubt) and you think you know what you're talking about? The boy can't be gay or can't know he's gay because of "biology"?

How many 9 year old boys do you know of that’s knows they are gay without outside influences? This is not just a one persons experience thing , it’s basic biology .
