You obviously think education is a waste. I don't know what to tell you. The real money waster is the military but no one talks about that. 

Bye

I'm sure China and Russia would love to see us stop spending money on our military.

Hmmm, a familiar failure to answer questions.

 

When you use logic, their arguments fall flat and short usually.  I really wish there was more logic and thought put into the (mostly) emotional responses I have had experience with.  I'm sure if we but worked as a team, we could put forward better ideas for all of us.

I certainly never said stop spending money on our military. I mean, clearly this government doesn't have a problem taking money away from the Pentagon to be used for non-military purposes.

It's about priorities. This administration sees building a wall to be more important than expanding access to affordable post-secondary education and vocational training. Not that difficult.

Ask Senator McConnell. Really Nature Boy, you know what's happening in the Senate. You're a smart guy. Only I get to play dumb here. 

 

Time to dry my hair and go pick up some dry cleaning. Check you later. 😘

Are those the House bills that simply throw more money into the cesspool?

What's your take? I'm not sure which House bills you're talking about, so if you could point me to them, I'd appreciate it.

You implied the Senate was holding things up, so I assumed you were referring to a House bill that the "Turtle" would not take up.

It's common knowledge that Senator McConnell is holding pretty much every House bill up. I am merely presuming there is a bill relating to education in the bunch there. I'll have some time later this afternoon to have a peek at the list of bills if that helps.  Today I'm running around like crazy in preparation for tonight. It's our first Valentine's Day living together and I'm kind of trying to make everything perfect because I am kind of a hopeless romantic.  ❤️

If you want free education, it is out there for you to apply for.  If you want low-interest loans, that is also out there.  Even better, if you are intelligent enough, apply for a scholarship or two.

 

If not, join the military.  
 

If not/not, STFU and pay your own way.
