where are those better teachers at to recruit from? Why is it always like pulling teeth with you libs for you all to make a fking point?You've GOT to be kidding lol, dupe. Change the channel.what funding is needed that the repubs won't allow? explain.they try? what do they try? they never offer up ideas on how to raise up blacks and poor? all they do is throw relief to them and keep them in need. I've never seen them offer up a proposal to end poverty. NEVER. In fact, the voucher for schools program they shit on every time. A way to educate them better with smarter programs. Shit it on it every fking time. Education is the only way out. my further evidence they wish hate on the blacks.so how does that help them? What skills does that provide them to get out from the need? That is the help that is being requested. you should comprehend that better.
The thing with Dems is it does appear they try. How successful the attempts are is in question. Now repubs don't have much a history of even trying and I think the poor are hurt by things like repeal Obamacare and cutting planned parenthood funding. So it is easy to see why they stick with Dems.
Education IS the only way out, but Republicans refuse to provide the funding needed to give kids in inner city schools a chance. Charter schools are not a solution. Education for profit is just as bad as for-profit prisons, and for many of the same reasons.
The difference between American conservatives and the rest of the civilized world is that American conservatives want no government at all, and the rest of the world has been smart enough to realize that there are some things that government can and should do, because the greater public good is involved, and government can do it better.
Americans call this "freedom", we call it "folly". Your so-called "freedom" puts the US at #7 in the "world freedom index". Your free-market medical mess puts your health-care system at #34 in the world. While the rest of the first world has better, cheaper, government funded health care, Americans desperately cling to their expensive, bankrupting for-profit insurance scheme, and call it "freedom".
The US is one of only two first world countries that spends more money educating the children of the rich, on purpose. Using local property taxes to fund schools is archaic and will always favour the children of the wealthy. Charter schools are not doing well in New Orleans, and many children are disappearing from schools which are coverting to charter, with no idea of where these kids are going to. With no centralized school board tracking students, it is entirely possible that poor kids in New Orleans are just no longer going to school at all, there is no way to know.
As public schools have converted to charter schools, few former enrollees return to the re-opened schools. As few as 35% of the former students come back. In one school, only 17 former students re-enrolled in fall. If 65% of poor children are simply giving up, this is hardly going to help the poor work their way out of poverty.
Despite Charter School reform legislation to prevent the schools from culling poor students from their rolls ("creaming"), 10 years after Katrina wiped out the New Orleans public school system, standardized test scores for high school students show LOWER test scores than before Katrina, and fewer students qualify for post-secondary education. Charter Schools are still creaming out disabled, or low performing students in an effort to boost their test scores, and their profits, adding to the children who are disappearing from schools and going where?
THIS IS WHY YOU NEED A STRONG, WELL-FUNDED PUBLIC EDUCATION CHILDREN. CHILDREN ARE NOT CONSUMER PRODUCTS. EDUCATION SHOULD NOT BE ACQUIRED FROM THE LOWEST BIDDER.
Are you saying that higher teacher salaries make teachers better teachers?
No, you GET better people as teachers.
What's funny, dupe 456. All fact.The GOP has always given immigrants an open invitation to come here illegally and work. 90% are worthy immigrants and an integral part of of our economy. Pew 2007:, 94% of adult males work, 65% pay taxes (get the rest), 35% own homes. NOW STOP more coming with a good SS ID card, the only thing that will work. The wall is expensive BS for hater dupes ONLY.what is wrong with deporting them per what the current law allows? and is happening. what is your issue with that? can you articulate that for us?NOT: Or the GOP can keep this mess going FOREVER.and what is that 'one solution'?It's not working at all...as always. There's only one solution.The Dem plan is nothing but 3/4 amnesty which they would love the Republicans to fall for. It's not going to work because Republicans are smarter than Democrats.
Our plan? Put in a President that means business when it comes to immigration. Put in a President that's going to give Democrats the middle finger when they start their racist, xenophobia bullshit. Put in a President that will strictly enforce our laws and let outsiders know they are not welcome in our country.
Wait a minute! We did that, and it's working out just fine! It's working better than lib amnesty programs designed to buy votes for the Democrat party. Who would have thought????
Pass the gd Dem Immigration bill of 2010 with unfakeable SS ID card and END this GOP BS, dupe. The GOP have blocked that forever. Commie plot.
Not a chance, dupe. More GOP unicorny bs. Just facing reality...so? he wrote EOs making regulation laws. he did that, yep. Trump took them out. and now we will see employment return for coal.Fact, dupe. All Obama could pass was EOs. What exactly is your brilliant point (bs talking point?)? He did no such thing. 80 months straight of growth despite pure GOP obstruction of usual solutions (infrastructure/jobs bills, training for 3-6 MILLION tech jobs, BS never before seen debt ceiling crises (1% cut in GDP each time). Change the channel,dupe.fella, there is no longer a reason to discuss with you. That is just an absolutely stupid claim. thanks though for showing off your stupid.Obama passed no new regs that caused any such thing. Coal went to hell on merit and a fracking boom before you start with that bs. You know unicorny bs...well again, the regulations put in place by obummer caused manufacturing to decline. we know this, trump is correcting that. Now with the choice program and the return of manufacturing jobs, we will expect a increase in jobs and an expected decrease in poverty numbers. Especially when the illegals are removed.
Becoming lawyers and MBAs etc to make more money than teachers. BTW, my nephew just started as chem teacher. Oberlin idealist/lib. I think?where are those better teachers at to recruit from?

Isn't that also how he got us out of the great bush recession? This is probably another damned if he did damned if he didntLike what policies of Obama's made the rich richer?
Our wages haven't gone up since the late 70s. That's when Reagan hit the scene
It's called Quantitive Easing. In case you don't feel like looking it up, it's when the feds pumped trillions of dollars into the stock market artificially causing it to be much stronger than the actual economy. Many people knew the game was rigged--mostly large investors. It made the rich even richer.
well again, the regulations put in place by obummer caused manufacturing to decline. we know this, trump is correcting that. Now with the choice program and the return of manufacturing jobs, we will expect a increase in jobs and an expected decrease in poverty numbers. Especially when the illegals are removed.I don't know the results of theirschool vouchers for grades k through 12. why are you against them rising out of poverty?Also the free or very cheap college and training we used to have before Raygun and we're starting to have again (Cuomo in NY NOW), the infrastucture bills we al.ways used to mhave and NOW Dems will help Trump with, all kinds of small business loans when the GOP gets the FEQ out of the way, ditto alll kinds of other programs Trup wants to cut so he can have ANOTHER giant tax cut for the rich. You have to be willfully ignorant/brainwashed to be this dumb...
Milwaukee has had vouchers a long time. That your symbol of success?
Wisconsin School Choice, charter programs, Voucher program, education options, educational programs, Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, Racine
"We are a statewide organization headquartered in Milwaukee, home of the nation's original educational voucher program for low and middle-income families. We support expanded educational options for parents through the use of school vouchers, charter schools, and innovative new programs centered on parental empowerment."
I have no idea what reports are available for education participation from the poor. I'll go looking.
"Statement on WILL Test Score Study
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) released the results of a study on standardized test scores that accounted for socioeconomic factors for all school sectors across Wisconsin. Here are some of the highlights of the study:
- Students in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) scored 5% higher in reading proficiency and 4% higher in math proficiency on the Wisconsin Forward Exam than similar students in Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS).
- Students in the MPCP scored 8% higher on the ACT than similar students in MPS.
The study can be found HERE."
- Students in the Racine/Wisconsin Parental Choice Programs scored 17% higher on the Wisconsin Forward Exam than similar students in Wisconsin outside of Milwaukee.
Poverty keeps tight grip on Milwaukee, census figures show
I've talked to such brainwashed Republicans the last couple days. Unable to rationally discuss the facts.I'm just intolerant of the lies and bs propaganda that are the base of all your misinformed "opinions", dupes... Most of my friends are dupes, but it's hard when many hate you for the facts. So I don't talk politics with them.Lies are lies, and you dupes believe a giant pile of them. Here's hoping Trump learns that and jettisons Bannon and the lies and goes middle party.
I like Carville and Colmes, sounds like you are the piece of crap that is lying. You on the left are just intolerant of others opinions, now go crawl back into your cave, Neanderthal.
Facts! Lol! You wouldn't know a fact if it bit you on the behind.
When I tried to point out how Republicans told Obama no when he asked to bomb Syria I got two responses, no three
A. He's a Muslim
B. He was weak
C. I must be watching MSNBC.I've talked to such brainwashed Republicans the last couple days.

No sure what this has to do with the Democratic Party's hate for poor black people.
Just Reaganism rolling on, and the middle class losing jobs during the Booosh depression. He didn't PASS ANY POLICIES except the stimulus and ACA...there's your brainwashing kicking in again...Under Democratic Presidents, Minorities Make Economic Gains - And So Do Whites | Scholars Strategy Network
Under Democratic presidents, black families’ incomes grew on average $895 dollars annually, but grew only by $142 dollars under Republicans. The black unemployment rate fell by a net 7.9 percentage points across the 26 years of Democratic leadership, but went up by a net of 13.7 points during 28 years of Republican presidencies. Across the years of Democratic leadership, black poverty declined by a net of 23.6 percentage points, but grew by three points when Republicans held the White House.
Try again Brian...
Bush and Reagan were geniuses! Look how butt hurt you are and Reagan has been out of office for 28 plus years and you still can't figure it out. You Dems are pretty stupid.

So will conservatives give up all 36 of these union fought rights? Will they stand by their rhetoric that unions are thugs and refuse to take benefits from these "thugs" or will they hypocritically carry on the diatribe that unions are ruining this country while enjoying their weekends and paid vacations?
Or...
Maybe they could just admit that while not perfect, like anything else, unions have done great things for working people that they use and benefit from everyday of their lives?
Maybe a conservative union-hating family got to have some of the best moments of their lives while on vacation from work, and they still got to come to a job still there waiting for them, because of unions?
Maybe a conservative can't wait for their lunch break at work so they can turn on the radio and listen to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Back talk about how horrible unions are?
If you don't want to give up all your union fought rights and benefits at work, I understand. I don't want to either, that's why I'm pro-union and vote Democrat.
But maybe you could just admit that unions are not demons spawned from hell, and admit the FACT that they have improved your life in more ways than one?
Or am I asking too much?
Isn't that also how he got us out of the great bush recession? This is probably another damned if he did damned if he didntLike what policies of Obama's made the rich richer?

If it makes you feel better, that's fine with me. But don't pretend that only Republicans help the rich. But if you really believe that the market is what got us out of the recession, then I guess you also believe that when the rich make more money, it's good for the economy.

So will conservatives give up all 36 of these union fought rights? Will they stand by their rhetoric that unions are thugs and refuse to take benefits from these "thugs" or will they hypocritically carry on the diatribe that unions are ruining this country while enjoying their weekends and paid vacations?
Or...
Maybe they could just admit that while not perfect, like anything else, unions have done great things for working people that they use and benefit from everyday of their lives?
Maybe a conservative union-hating family got to have some of the best moments of their lives while on vacation from work, and they still got to come to a job still there waiting for them, because of unions?
Maybe a conservative can't wait for their lunch break at work so they can turn on the radio and listen to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Back talk about how horrible unions are?
If you don't want to give up all your union fought rights and benefits at work, I understand. I don't want to either, that's why I'm pro-union and vote Democrat.
But maybe you could just admit that unions are not demons spawned from hell, and admit the FACT that they have improved your life in more ways than one?
Or am I asking too much?
The minimum wage was set up to be racist at the start, Henry Ford started the 40 hour a week movement, the social security was always a ponzi scheme... Can go on and on but earth to silly boo bio the year is not 1930
All that from being abe to dump slag in rivers? Wow. lol.40K of jobs created will be reported in the coal industry. That will be reality.Not a chance, dupe. More GOP unicorny bs. Just facing reality...so? he wrote EOs making regulation laws. he did that, yep. Trump took them out. and now we will see employment return for coal.Fact, dupe. All Obama could pass was EOs. What exactly is your brilliant point (bs talking point?)? He did no such thing. 80 months straight of growth despite pure GOP obstruction of usual solutions (infrastructure/jobs bills, training for 3-6 MILLION tech jobs, BS never before seen debt ceiling crises (1% cut in GDP each time). Change the channel,dupe.fella, there is no longer a reason to discuss with you. That is just an absolutely stupid claim. thanks though for showing off your stupid.Obama passed no new regs that caused any such thing. Coal went to hell on merit and a fracking boom before you start with that bs. You know unicorny bs...
Just Reaganism rolling on, and the middle class losing jobs during the Booosh depression. He didn't PASS ANY POLICIES except the stimulus and ACA...there's your brainwashing kicking in again...Try again Brian...
Bush and Reagan were geniuses! Look how butt hurt you are and Reagan has been out of office for 28 plus years and you still can't figure it out. You Dems are pretty stupid.

The formation of unions helped to strengthen the idea of working five days a week as well. In 1937, auto plant workers staged a sit-down strike in Flint, Michigan, to protest bleak conditions at General Motors that included no bathroom breaks, no benefits or sick pay and no safety standards.
The negotiations between GM and the United Auto Workers ultimately improved working conditions. The federal government would show its support when Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938, a key part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.
Many historians credit Roosevelt’s labor secretary, Frances Perkins, for championing the cause. Perkins was in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village in 1911 on the day of the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Almost 150 garment workers, mostly women and immigrants, were trapped and killed when the building caught fire. The exits had been blocked — a common practice at the time.
“She saw the young girls jumping out of the window,” Santomauro said. “This, I’m sure, opened her heart about the plight of the workers. That really stayed with her.”
Aside from the 40-hour workweek, the Fair Labor Standards Act also included several reforms in place that Americans can appreciate to this day — establishing a minimum wage, overtime pay and putting an end to “oppressive” forms of child labor.
