Didn’t even let Bernie respond, she just ran with the assumption afterwards with the question “what do you say to people that say women can’t win?” Yea I am really mad that she didn’t turn to warren and ask “is Bernie lying?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Question, people keep talking about kids with “rich” parents getting free college or not. Why is there an assumption parents earning whatever you’d consider a lot of money, have money to send their kids to college? There are a lot of cash poor people in the upper middle class with impressive incomes. That isn’t their kids fault. Why assume those parents and their kids are even on speaking terms? 15 minutes ago, CousinsCowgirl84 said: probably does after having to listen to the warren/bernie squabble... What squabble? CNN took action to make certain there was no squabble, by dismissing Bernie as a liar outright and never questioning Warren’s account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Public universities should be tuition free for all of our citizens. Higher education needs to be more accessible not less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Encouraging people to find what they excel at in high school instead of ramming college down their throat is a much better solution.

Rich parents already giving up custody of their kids so they can get better financial aid. Just make it universal and end some of these shenanigans. https://www.propublica.org/article/university-of-illinois-financial-aid-fafsa-parents-guardianship-children-students?utm_content=buffer45461&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=buffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 The most compelling issue I heard today, that hasn’t gotten as much attention, was child care. This is more important to me than free college (even though I personally need neither benefit.) People can’t have kids if they can’t afford them because child care is unbelievably expensive. This is worse than the dwindling of the American dream of home ownership IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works at a pizza joint because it's less stressful. Does that really devalue a degree in that field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, dumb people still have kids.... what happens to a of people (dumb or smart, smart in this case) is they quit working because their job doesn’t pay more than child care costs, and if they’re not working they can also get government assistance they wouldn’t qualify for if they had a job. So they sat at home and care for their own child while collecting welfare because that’s how the current system is set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was that not paying for child care counterintuitively creates more of a welfare state, as women are encouraged to stay at home and collect public assistance the way things are now. Not even counting the loss in productivity that comes from having to retrain replacement hires and the loss of their job experience in the workforce.
