We see the cost of ignorance in every one of your posts.Drop the self centered attitude and consider this: an educated workforce is a competent work force. A competent workforce is a competitive workforce. A competitive workforce produces higher paying jobs. Higher paying jobs means more tax dollars in government coffers, more disposable income in more hands and therefore an expanding economy.Why is it my job to make it easier for you?
You'll make your money back. And there will be more educated people helping you in your time of dire finacial circumstances, like now the way you're complaining.
Is the cost of knowledge too high? Try the cost of ignorance!
You are equating more money with better education. Except it isnt true. We are spending more per pupil in almost every school district and results on tests etc are worse or very slight better.
Throwing money at a broken system appeases union drones etc but does nothing to help anyone. The unemployment/underemployment rate for college grads is nearly 50%. Why would we want to contribute to that??
pay high end wages to union drones, appease Republicans, build Keystone Pipeline.
why would YOU want to contribute to a UNION? That's the question.
Yeah, build the pipeline. Obama's own CBO said it would create 42,000 good paying jobs.
I like the idea of the pipeline, I wonder how many of barrels of oil are projected to pass through it? What will the Saudi response be, will they lower production to make oil more scarce and thus fuel prices will rise? Will the creation of the Keystone pipeline counteract that in a timely manner so it offsets the Saudi cut in production? Can the Saudis afford to play that game?
I haven't the foggiest but you can bet that the Canadians are not going to just sit on it. It will get to market somewhere somehow. We have pipelines already in use. There is on about forty miles from where I live that has been in use for about forty years with no problems.
