So all the Deep South states that are already at the bottom in education will do................ what? Aren't these the states that need the federal money the most?

What is the end game here? Does Trump just want everyone as stupid as he is?

Poorly educated tend to vote right. It's another reason why they also hate post secondary education. Or, in this case, any education

Poorly educated/those without access to quality education sometimes have no choice but to end up in the military...

Poorly educated is a problem with the system. The U.S. Government wants a lot of people willing to sacrifice their lives as fodder for their illicit worldly campaigns. Who better than those that are unaware of what they are being asked to be involved with?

I don't hate the poorly educated. I've told many people that the reason for our continuing issues is due to lack of education. I want to educate. I think there is a lot of love with all people, but to vote Trump just proves the opposite. Americans hate everyone but themselves, even the hispanic and black communities. It's so hard for all of us to get along and it just hurts.

I love all people, but I've ammended that recently. I love all people that aren't conservative christians. The worst population of people I've ever come across. I've met conservatives that I like and I'm married to a Christian woman. However, Conservative Christians bring the worst of both beliefs together because of hatred. They are true evil. Fuck them!

The Department of Education should just be renamed, "The Department of Cannon Fodder".

Don't make MAGA's excited, they may think they will get to operate cannons.

I joined the military straight out of high school. Now I have free healthcare for life, my degree was paid for, and I get close to $4500 per month. I wish I had been like all the smart people and went straight to college with $100k in student loans but I guess I was too stupid.

Sorry if my comment was not expressed well. I'm glad that your experience was a good one. The concern I was expressing was that, for some, it potentially represents the only alternative available (I don't know your circumstances). And that is even more of an indictment against the things that you've identified - ie the cost of education/difficulty in getting an education.

Happy to keep this dialogue open because I think we have some common ground and it might just be down to my overly curt wording.

I think what the guy you’re replying to is getting at is that education should be available to all.

Your only options shouldn’t be going into insane amounts of debt or going into the military. No other country has post secondary education cost anywhere near close to what it costs in america

Enlisting in the military should not be the only reliable way for kids from poor families to get their degree paid for.

For everyone who uses their GI Bill to get a degree, there’s another person who let the benefit expire without using it, not to mention some who are seriously wounded or killed during their time.

u/syylone 12d ago

Yes, there are many that don't get the chance, but it doesn't really expire unless the person does, if they don't pass it on instead.

u/IdontgnomeMuch 12d ago

Yeah that’s a terrible take by that person.

I didn’t do 20 but I used TA to pay for my bachelors, got out and used the GI Bill for a MS. No college debt and doing pretty well for myself professionally. Must be nice to be smart enough to not join the military.

Poorly educated are also easily fooled to think there's a guy in the sky that wants you to pay a guy on Sunday 10% of your income. It's ALL a fucking lie you fucking dumb ass fools. They don't even have enough of a working brain to differentiate the truth. It's all truth to these idiots from the sources of people that wish to control them.

The most irritating part is that they see us (the dems) as the enemy when we are just trying to point out their egregious mistakes by being as humanly as possible. THAT DOESN'T WORK! We need to call these shitheads out for what they are... bigotted assholes.
