Hell with housing how many of our own vets are homeless? You're telling me they don't deserve basic housing for their sacrifice? What has either side ever done for them once they've killed who they wanted?

The VA needs to be overhauled so badly.

Put a lot of people into student loan debt with no hope for a good paying jobs.....as pretty much promised if they went to college.

 

[Spitfire]

and international companies based in the US, would just relocate if doing international business was laced with a heavy tax burden

 

[Swamps]

Schools have been on this "YOU HAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE!" push for 30 years. It is leading us down the wrong path.

You don't need college. I only went because I got a scholarship and it was free. Hell, I even got money back

I went into debt and I will never get out of it because of college. And it didn't do shit for me. All because I was told that was the thing to do.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Don't even get me started on student loans.

I could explain that problem, but you wouldn't like my answer. However, the entire DOD needs a change.

Then tax the imports if they want to sell their stuff in America.

It got me a worthless degree, but hey at least I got to play football!

Its a social contract but I also wasn't asked to be born and as a society were more than capable of carrying our weakest if we just stop being selfish and comparing ourselves to each other and thinking one person is worth more than another. They are not. That's That's lie by the people who want to own us to keep us believing we're enemies amongst ourselves

I can't speak for people who live outside the United States, but almost anyone can get a job and find someone that's renting. I wouldn't live in California or New York, but move to the plain states, you can find affording housing easily. My point is though, needing a home is the number one reason anyone works anywhere. I can't imagine how half the businesses we rely on daily would get staff if you can just get a house for free without paying for it.

 

[Dakstang]

I think after 25 years I can get out of paying the loan.

 

[Barry Poppins]

If I were in the government I'd probably also throw more money into public broadcasting like NPR, PRI, and PBS.

 

[Dakstang]

I don't know. I am halfway there almost.

 

[Comrade Khan]

If they have money for no reason, it's whatever, you can have that point, but if they own a business and are filthy rich because people all over the world every day log onto their website and buy hundreds of dollars of merchandise through their own voluntary desire for their goods, that's fair game imo. No one forces people to use Amazon billions of times a day. Their daily business is insane and I can't even imagine how large their servers are to contain that bandwidth.

but the problem is they've stayed in power abd getting richer by having no stop gaps to prevent them from buying more and more legal power , more unfair business advantages, etc. None of these ppl started poor or are funded by the poor either. It's all fixed in their favor and continues to do be so more and more. You surely can't think that mhch wealth and power siphoned that thinly above is good everyone.

I fucking love listening to NPR and PRI.
