I understand. Obama is a regular juggernaut when it comes to creating jobs.
What topic is this?

Interesting comment considering you just donned your cheerleader outfit for Flip

Getting a little worked up eh Side? I understand. Glad to see you weigh in.

I get real tired of reading about the educators plight.  Guess what, they elected to enter that field, no one forced them.  What needs to occur is a non-union scenario where they are actually paid and get raises based on performance (like the real world as it concerns most workers) instead of what they have now, which, IMO is a gravy train of paid benefits and wages based on years of service per a union mandated contract. 

I spend most times on this site just reading and not posting lately.....  a couple posters dominate this site with constant cut-n-pasta crap, like zoombies at a water trough.

If I want to look at Rachel Maddow's puss, I can do it myself.

I guess you brought Rachel into this to add to your anti-gay bend of late.

While your anti-union viewpoint may seem relevant to you...it's not.

The topic is about student loan interest rates.

Once again it is obvious you know nothing about what you speak. I enjoy my life, in fact, it has gotten considerably better over the last 2 or 3 years, and things are looking to be even better next year.

Strike three big boy, you're outta there.

You have to forgive him.... he apparently has that kind of time.

True, however, student loans would be less if the institutions charged less so in the 'trickle down theory', if the end game (educators themselves) were paid less, there would be less overhead and tuition costs would be less, prompting lower student loans.

Think about it....

The topic is still about student loan "interest rates" but 60 Minutes recently had a guest on that said:
"We have a bubble in education, like we had a bubble in housing in the last decade. Everybody believed you had to have a house. They'd pay whatever it took. Today, everybody believes that we need to go to college, and people will pay whatever it takes.

Morley Safer: You describe college administrators as subprime mortgage lenders, in other words conmen.

Peter Thiel: Not all of them, but certainly the for-profit schools, the less good colleges are like the subprime mortgage lenders where people are being conned into thinking that this credential is the one thing you need to do better in life. And they're actually not any better off after having gone to college; they typically are worse off because they've amassed all this debt.
