“88 is a white supremacist numerical code for “Heil Hitler.”

You are right, I didn't know that

88 is a white supremacist numerical code for "Heil Hitler." H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, so 88 = HH = Heil Hitler. One of the most common white supremacist symbols, 88 is used throughout the entire white supremacist movement, not just neo-Nazis. One can find it as a tattoo or graphic symbol; as part of the name of a group, publication or website; or as part of a screenname or e-mail address. It is even sometimes used as a greeting or sign-off (particularly in messages on social networking websites).

The number is frequently combined with another white supremacist numeric code, 14 (shorthand for the so-called "14 Words" slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children") in the form of 1488, 14/88, 14-88, or 8814.

It should be noted that 88 can be found in non-extremist contexts. The number is used by ham radio operators to mean "hugs" or "hugs and kisses." Also, a number of NASCAR drivers, including several very well-known ones, have used the number 88, resulting in various automobile stickers and other forms of merchandise sporting that number.

The irony is it is still a much better reason than socialism though.

Because any reason is a better reason than socialism. Simple as that.

If they are all so racist, how come they actually have muslim, let alone black supporters?

Because, like my better half said, there are actually people who will sell their souls to get on the ticket. Or think that they will be "accepted"if they hate on their own people or Obama.Every black person who wants to get somewhere in the GOP has to do three things. Hate Obama. Hate Muslims. Believe that racism doesn't exist and hard work can overcome anything, Just like Carson actually believed he was going to get the nomination. I said it here F-I-R-S-T, his campaign was DOA the second he decided to run for office. He was just the GOP's black friend, the one they rolled out to try and say they're not the GOP of old, when in fact, that's EXACTLY who they are.

What's so funny is, when a black person says it's racist, folks like you and Expatty won't believe it. But if a black person says it's NOT racist, that clears it right up. It just can't be, because a black person said so. Interesting how that works, no power to label something racist, but an overwhelming amount to say that it's not. Nothing weird about that at all...

“88 is a white supremacist numerical code for “Heil Hitler.”

And while he typically considers himself a strong, pro-union Democrat (he helped elect President Obama in 2008), Farron now has his feet firmly planted in Trump’s camp. This election cycle, he says, the country’s problems need addressing “on a much grander scale.”

His wife’s name, Grace, is tattooed in thick cursive on the side of Farron’s neck. They’ve been married for 16 years. Grace (a first-time voter, she’s also supporting Trump) has been looking for work for six months and says they are living paycheck to paycheck at times.

There are a few people of all colors and religions willing to sell their souls if they think it'll boost them on the socio-economic ladder.

You're fired!

Get with the program already. Who's talking about any political figure? I'm talking about actual, average people.

Free college tuition - why is it a bad idea?

Well, where do we start. How about with the fact that government is the most inefficient body that exists. If product X would cost a private company a certian sum of money - chances are that for a lower quality it could cost 2-3 times as much if it was the government. It has been proven - take a look even at public schools. So much is spent on them per year yet with not much to show for it.

As Milton Friedman brilliantly put it: if you put the government in charge of the Sahara desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand. Not to mention the fact that what government gives government could just as easily take as well. In other words - the government creates the problem and then pretends it is the solution. Once you rely on it to be the solution - you're at their mercy, you'll do anything so that they don't take your drug away from you.

Another point is that when you pay for something you actually care about what you do with it. Can you imagine if it was free - oh I don't feel like going today or oh I want to try something new. Why not - someone else is going to pay for it. I don't wanna pay for someone else's kids' college tuition. We don't all have the same number of kids, we don't all send our kids to public colleges, some of us don't have any kids. Why should our tax dollars be responsible for someone else's education?

This will cost $70 billion per year. Much of it would provide free education to students whose families can already afford it. I believe making something cost less to deliver is a much better solution than subsidizing to bring price down. Unfortunately government really likes the latter. The system needs to be more cost effective, not less, and free public college will only make it less cost effective. Also, today students can take much of their aid to the institution of their choosing. Free public college would limit choice as many private institutions, that wouldn't be able to compete with a highly subsidized, free public option would struggle to survive. It would also reduce pressure on public colleges to serve students efficiently. It would cut the economic legs out from underneath innovations such as open online courses, which are already on the cusp of delivering low cost, high quality college education for all. Organizations trying to deliver radical new models will now have to compete against a $70 billion subsidy for the old system. Is it not enough that by virtue of eliminating competition - the government has already caused issues such as with the car manufacturers? I can just see it now...a bailout of colleges(real estate is another example and I can go on and on).

Anywhere there is government involvement, there is less innovation. Top-down controls means a less dynamic and innovative system. The price of free public college is more than taxpayers would spend on it. A system based largely on public institutions managed through top-down regulation, would exacerbate the challenges, not solve them.

"colleges and universities must reduce their reliance on low paid adjunct or part time faculty" according to Sanders' college for all act. Currently 70% of American university faculty is adjunct professors, so a majority of part timers could potentially face unemployment.

Another thing to consider:

At age 19, only around 20% of children from the poorest 2% of families in the country attend college compared with 90% from the richest 2%. Inbetween, college attendance rates climb practically straight up the income ladder: the richer your parents are, the greater the chance you are in college at 19. In public colleges today already - students from the poorest fourth of the population currently pay no net tuition while richer students receive much fewer tuition and living grant benefits. Making college free for everyone would essentially mean giving far more money to students from richer families than from poorer ones. Any policy reducing tuition to zero would benefit students whose families earn the most, who currently pay all or nearly all of a school's full tuition price because they can afford to. And if the revenue is not replaced, it means fewer resources to teach students. It just makes no sense. This is one thing I agree with Clinton about - a better way would be to try to reel tuition back to reasonable prices and continue to subsidize financial aid for those who need it.

There are many reasons poor kids don't go to college - and cost is one of the reasons least supported by available evidence.

Also, directing that much guaranteed money into a system is a sure fire way to accelerate cost inflation. The state will pick up the tab for tuition, but students will still have to pay for services such as room, board, textbooks etc. Those services will go up in price. Those costs are not trivial. Although Sweden abolished college tuition, students graduate with more debt than students in the UK, and only slightly less than students in the US.

If institutions are free, there will be massive influx of applicants. Those who don't get admitted to the free public institutions, will be faced with either a high priced private institution or no college at all. Based on the basic economic rule of supply and demand, an increase in the applications to private universities will cause the already high price of tuition to rise even more. In countries where tuition is free, universities are failing to keep up with demand. Germany has struggled to keep up with building classrooms(according to the economist).

In short, free undergraduate tuition would only lead to more competition among applicants, higher costs at private universities, disruption of university research and apathy among institutions that are supposed to maintain a high quality learning environment, and lastly, as a trader, I am also opposed to the way he wishes to pay for all this(robin hood tax).

Another quote from Friedman(my fav economist): "one of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results" It's been proven time and time again that even the best intentions by government bureaucrats usually don't end up very well and lead to unwanted and unpredicted consequences. Governments mess things up big time. We need the government to stay out, not go further in.

Have to disagree.

The level of graduate back when the universities were free in the UK compared to now??

indeed.

[smilesammich 10,727]

state University, community college should be free. just like trade schools at high school level should be free. doesn't mean that privately funded schools don't exist.

[Rob L 3,811]

Completely agree this country needs to wake up. Socialism is not the way to go.

Okay you don't have to take social security,Medicare, hwy subsidies, tax credits..send your check to the treasury or just sign it I've RF to me

Was going to say the same thing myself.
