RW>> I haven't believed the two majors are good for average   
    RW>> folks in this country for a long time though.  Still, I   
    RW>> truly believe that ROmney coupled with the tea party is   
    RW>> dangerous to personal liberty and freedom in this country.   
      
   BK>>  Truly seriously.   
      
    RW> I'm dead serious.  Along with that, I'm rather disgusted   
    RW> with a bunch of octogenarians telling me bs instead of   
    RW> loking at the future with anything other than all this   
    RW> whining about national debt.   
      
    Esp since the great majority of that debt was accumulated under   
    three republican anti-tax presidents. Even what has accumulated   
    under Obama is a small portion by comparison.   
      
    RW> where's talk of improving our   
    RW> infrastructure to meet future needs?  What about folks like   
    RW> my grandson, who's a senior in high school these days?  "we   
      
    Yep. Shut down all the public colleges. If you can't afford a   
    private college you are a peasant and deserve nothing.   
      
    RW> want handsome" they tell us.  Screw handsome!  How about   
    RW> seeing what needs to be done re alternative energy   
    RW> production, improving the electrical distribution grid to   
    RW> meet future needs, repair and upgrading our transportation   
    RW> infrastructure, etc.   
      
    You damn liberal!   
      
    RW> You put people to work at other than 30 hours or less a   
    RW> week at Walmart then you have the money for medical care for   
    RW> octogenarians.  oTherwise, I'm sorry, but we just can't   
    RW> afford it!   
      
    Yep. I've been saying that all along. We need jobs, and we need   
    to bring back the factories.   
      
    RW> YEt I still see a lot of apathy among young working age   
    RW> folks.  they don't figure that it makes any difference   
    RW> whether they vote for tweedle ddumb or tweedle dumber.   
    RW> Can't blame them, it's more for the plutocracy, screw them!   
    RW> iT isn't going to improve their lives whichever one they   
    RW> vote for.  The only thing I get from both parties when   
    RW> trying to talk to our younger voters is "drop your pants   
    RW> and bend over."   
      
    Obama doesn't know, Romney doesn't care. They actually believe   
    the interest rate on student loans is a problem. Hell no! It's   
    the student loans themselves.   
      
    RW> I keep telling my grandson to be careful to go into a field   
    RW> that can't be outsourced to China or somewhere similar.   
      
    Which everyone else will be trying to get into.   
      
    Here's one for you...   
      
    Medical bills are a major factor in over 50% of bankruptcies. So   
    businesses lose their money, and debtors wind up with little or   
    nothing, but the medical industry, the cause of so many   
    bankruptcies, is protected against the disaster they caused.   
      
    Repeal the Bankruptcy (De)reform act of 2005 or whenever, and   
    let hospitals and doctors share the risks with the rest of us.   
      
    Why would colleges and universities hold costs down, when   
    students can get loans for any amount they need? Why would   
    lenders not give out those loans, as long as they are guaranteed   
    they will get their money back?   
      
    And people wonder why the cost of education keeps rising faster   
    than inflation, and yet students have debts they can't pay back.
