1. K&R,

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Investing in education is investing in people. THAT'S how you run government like a business. . . nt

[RAB910]

3. That's what I love about the response

Nothing is more powerful than a good analogy. A great analogy creates a situation people can relate to

4. $54B down the drain or providing $75B for real progress.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Money sunk in a bomb is dead money. Money sunk in an education generates more money.

Further, a bomb sucks money because it has to be checked, maintained, and guarded.

5. +1000

Great analogy. Stupid woman.

6. Amanda

Amanda Carpenter is an American author, political advisor, and speechwriter. She is a former senior staffer to Senators Jim DeMint and Ted Cruz. She was a columnist for The Washington Times from 2009 to 2010, has an active Twitter following, and regularly appears as a political contributor on CNN

7. What is it about some women

who should know republicans do not care for women unless they are lying naked on the bed, but as rights go? republicans will take them all away from women (they have voted consistently against equal pay), but some clueless women still fight for them. It is almost like the battered wife who can't get away from the abusing husband, its almost as if they suffer from "Stockholm syndrome".

8. they're mostly sellouts

Communications is a tough field to break into. It's very hard to get a break.

It's no secret that an easy path to success in media is to be a r-w commentator. The money is good because it's put up by corporations. A lot of times the training path is through the r-w think tanks. A lot of people, women included--sad to say--see no farther than their own personal welfare.

11. This is true, but make no mistake that there are countless women who buy the right wing bullshit

in full of their own volition.

White males understandibly get the most derision for being right wing nutters, but white women are close behind.

9. Who is this imbecile now? nt

[PatrickforO]

10. Right on, Neil.

Silly me, I'd much rather have free or subsidized college than a $733 billion 'defense' budget, a shiny new space force and 200,000 people 'on the ground' in 167 countries.

Healthcare would be nice, too.

12. When I still had cable, I stopped watching Tapper because of Ms Carpenter and

another frequent panel member who is a federalist. I found them both to be disturbing. I also stopped watching CNN.

13. I am too lazy to do the math

But I suspect that the increased tax revenue over their lifetime could pay back much (if not all) of the investment.

This is from a combination of under educated people having an opportunity to earn more and from graduates having more spending power because of lack of debt.

I actually am not a big fan of "free for all" because some people should pay if they can. I say this as someone with a daughter going to college next year and staring down the barrel of a six figure cost.

It should definitely be lower cost by at least 2/3rds. And real aid should increase by an exponent. But I think people with means should still have some skin in the game. Students and families are more likely to take it seriously when it has value attached. But no one should be priced out. Ever.

15. There's a reason Scandinavian countries

provide free college education.
They cannot see a better Return on Investment for their tax dollars.

[calimary]

16. BOOM!!!
