[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 1493513, member: 56035"] "[B]politics/ government is the problem, not the solution" this is straight political rhetoric.[/B] ironically u were able to afford your own college education back then because government funding for college was higher back then. the government spends less money funding colleges and it is therefore more expensive for each individual because: A. public education is undergoing a corporate privatization B. debt peonage is a means of social control america spends over 1.5 trillion on its "defense" aka military empire each year. 9/11 was what the CIA refers to as "blow back" from america invading other countries. america should be following ron paul's advice and getting out of other countries. unlimited pollution with no regulations, and $0.50/hr wages with 90 hour work weeks with no worker protection is what drove good paying jobs out of america. if your argument about unions were true then america would be doing good right now considering unionization rate is less than 7% right now compared to 33% during the great depression. but anyways.....americans should have comfortable retirements and they should be doing economically better than ever but theyre not basically because of capitalism.
