What's new

2020 Presidential election

I'm sure there were a bunch of people that were angry about not getting Social Security for the entire time they would have been eligible if the law had passed sooner. But you can't retroactively enforce all laws and provide all benefits. A good idea has to start somewhere, and it shouldn't be held up because people who don't get the advantage are angry about it. I'm not saying that this is a good idea, because I haven't done the research.
Great post

Was thinking about this today and not sure where to post it so thought maybe here.

The general idea of forgiving student loan debt isn’t a bad one but what about the people who paid their debt off? Are we giving them refund checks?

Let’s not discover a vaccine for polio because all the other polio victims will be jealous and bitter over it.

derp
 
it’s as asinine as refusing to improve our society via public education because a handful of people might get their feelings hurt.

I simply asked a question. I said I like the general idea of it. Reading comprehension and analogies are not your strong suit.

Kind of a dumb question though. I'm not trying to attack you or be mean, just stating my opinion. I think you might have known it was a dumb question when you asked it.
I do the same thing sometimes too

It was a dumb question. I gave you a snarky response. I figured you were merely being dumb. Were you trying to be serious? I wouldn’t be that surprised, many who are against tuition free education often pose that same stupid analogy. @JazzGal had a good response to it. She correctly refuted it. Did you have an issue with her refutation?

here’s a question, Why shouldn’t we have tuition free college if we can significantly help our society by not piling loads of debt on our young while promoting a better educated populace?

We already have free schooling in this country. Basically, on a line of education, everything to the left of the line is free:
-----FREE----|----PAY------
The proposal is to move the line:
-----FREE--------|---PAY---

Has our K-12 public education existed ever since we declared independence since 1776?

Why, no, it has not. It looks at first glance as though there were schools, generally what we would consider elementary schools, from the 1600s, although they were not free. The first public high school was opened in Boston in 1821. By the end of the 19th century, public secondary schools outnumbered private ones.

So, yes, the line has been moving steadily to the right for the entire history of our country.

Okay. So if systems change to meet the needs of society, why shouldn’t our current system change to meet the needs of the 21st century?

Claiming to be Native American DID NOT help her get HIRED at Harvard.

She worked at Harvard and put Native American on that form you fill out AFTER you are hired.

And what Bernie said in 1988 does not mean that last year he didn't say something else in regard to who could beat Donald Trump in 2020.
