There is Zero reason the Federal Government should be involved in running Schools or Education.  Especially due to how much they've F'cked the whole thing up.  The education level has taken a nose dive in the US since Federal takeover.  States are more than capable of handling it, just as they did in the past.

baloney.

the US became the most powerful nation on earth because - right after our revolution - federally mandated universal education made us the best educated nation on earth.  that lasted until somewhere around WWII.  since then the corporatocracy has been incrementally whittling away at our educational infrastructure.  and it shows.

take, for example, your grasp of history...

<sigh>

The US wasn't the most powerful nation on Earth until after WWII.  The federal government had zero roll in education until the founding of the Department of Education in the 1970's.  Compulsory education of children didn't exist in the US anywhere until New York State started requiring the education of children in the 1870's, and compulsory education wasn't an nationwide requirement until 1913.  Even then, it was only compulsory until 8th grade until after WWII.

This is too beautiful.

Still waiting reply from Jaime Frontero

Still waiting reply from Jaime Frontero

Don't hold your breath. I'm still waiting for a response to this:

The whole notion of "Tax the rich" is based on a fallacy. First, one must ask, who are the rich? The rich are the ones who in most all societies hold political power.  Having political power and connections is the easiest way to get and stay rich.

In the USA for example just look at the net worth of senior members of govt who make all the rules:

Barack H. Osama - Net worth $10.5m source

Nancy Pelosi - Net worth $35.2m Source

Harry Reid - Net worth estimated between $3.1 - $6.7 million source

I can go on and on...

After decades of "socially progressive" policies all other the developed world we still see an increasing gap between rich and poor.

I wonder, are people really that stupid to believe this shit? Or is this some kind of sick joke and I'm in the twilight zone?

What will it take for you lefties to realize the plan ain't working?

@ GideonGono - This is purposefully done so the population does not wake up to the financial robbery going on globally as well as at home.  People are starting to wake up though through the efforts on Alternative News Outlets, and prominent figures such as Ron Paul who inject real issues onto the political scene while his po9litical "peers" flounder and look like morons whenever they speak.

"Yeah, that education system of yours is doing a great job teaching financial literacy."

Very true. My enlightenment started off with watching Ron Paul vids on Youtube, then I read Ron Paul Revolution > Milton Friedman vids > mises.org > read For a New Liberty and that was it. There is no coming back to statism after reading Rothbard.

I think I will keep most of every spending, then I have to print money to pay them, so debt ceiling must be raised!

As Buffet said, as long as the debt can be paid by printing US dollar, there is no problem. Of course USD will drop in value, but this has already been discussed many times in Keynesian Economics.

More money will be printed, but there will be no significant inflation, inflation comes when demand is higher than supply, currently it is definitely not the case.

Big international companies sit with tons of cash and loans but never spend, hope government will make an example by spending those loans and create some new projects

Reagan graduated public school.

Dept of education costs less then 2 months of iraq.

Reagan was a Democrat for 20+ years and the president of the Actor's Guild in California before becoming a Republican as well.  Most good minds never really stop learning, and a public education can only delay the good mind for so long.  That said, Reagan wasn't really very good with Economics either.

And the Department of Education doesn't really do anything worth two months in iraq.  The most influential regulatory body in the US over education is the Texas Board of Curriculum.
