He should have been out of office in 2012. I believe Hillary will win easily in 2016. The reason for both of these is America's addiction to deficiet spending. Americans love something for nothing, all Americans. It drives crime as well as politics. We are a people willing to sell our grandchildren's futures to maintain a standard of living. There can be no community in the U.S. more dependent on deficiet spending than our own Villages yet there seems to be very little concern or push back. A recent news story again claimed S.S. Trust fund was good until 2034. Damn it people there are no assets. Americans are deadbeats according to to Webster's dictionary. There I feel better.

56% approval rating???? Are there really that many people getting Gov give-aways in this country?

And I paid for my own education. Obviously, you didn't.

The SS money was taken, used for other things, and an IOU was left in it's place. PLUS they're borrowing like there's no tomorrow.

We're doomed financially.

We're also doomed demographically as whites are being replaced as the majority by mostly hispanics.

Yes, there are. More than half get SOME form of government benefit. The numbers getting benefits grows daily.

Those 56% were all democrats.

The percentage of U.S. adults identifying as political independents has recently reached levels never seen before. As a result, a new low of 29% of Americans identify as Democrats, and the percentage of Republican identifiers is on the low end of what Gallup has measured historically.Jan 11, 2016

Democratic, Republican Identification Near Historical Lows

Is that all you have? Pathetic, and I'll bet you did not pay for all of it
You sound like a trumpster, lie, lie. But I guess your so perfect.

I didn't have to pay for mine. I had an academic scholarship. Is that mooching?

Are you kidding? I can tell by the way you write that you are either a female or gay. Do you really want to trade insults? Because, believe me you will go away crying like a little girl. Either grow up and discuss these issues like an adult or just go away crying. Your choice.

And yes, I DID pay for my own education, as if that means anything to anyone. It doesn't. But, can you say that? Nooo. And I did it while supporting a family of four children. And yes, I am proud of it. Self-reliance is something that one should be proud of. The gov didn't build it, regardless of our Affirmative Action president's lies.

Technically...yes. Someone else did the labor for the "benefits" you received for "free".

You're SUPPOSED to "pay it forward" by being a good, productive citizen repaying it to society tenfold. That's the original intent of scholarships.

I did.

The purpose of the academic scholarship is to recruit the best and the brightest. This raises the academic bar for the institution causing demand for future potential students. When demand exceeds supply the tuition goes up. Academic scholarships reward the institution 10 fold. It's a business.

Why do they give athletic scholarships? I let you figure that one out.

Officially the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, the G.I. Bill was created to help veterans of World War II. It established hospitals, made low-interest mortgages available and granted stipends covering tuition and expenses for veterans attending college or trade schools. From 1944 to 1949, nearly 9 million veterans received close to $4 billion from the bill’s unemployment compensation program. The education and training provisions existed until 1956, while the Veterans’ Administration offered insured loans until 1962. The Readjustment Benefits Act of 1966 extended these benefits to all veterans of the armed forces, including those who had served during peacetime. G.I. Bill - World War II - HISTORY.com


That's affirmative action too. God Bless America. These men didn't do it on their own. That's the teamwork Obama is talking about.


How much was your tuition and what year did you graduate? What college did you attend and I'll tell you what the tuition is today. Let's compare apples to apples.

The government [that's us] steadily lowered their contribution to colleges. It's a downward cycle that started 35 years ago. What makes it even more difficult for young people is that now 1 out of 3 have a BA or BS. That's what's needed for an entry level position.

My modest salary the first year out of college was enough to pay for the previous 4 years in college if I had to. Who can say that today?

That WAS the purpose. Now it's a way to beg for money when you probably have no business being there.

The tuition goes up when the government makes $trillions available via easy money. Yes, too many "students" with money to spend makes tuition go up.

But it shouldn't a Harvard who gets just 1% of it's income from tuition.

Athletics is where the money and prestige is.

Isn't a football coach the highest paid in "academia"?

That was the only way to fight quotas and affirmative action. How to keep from having to carry all that dead wood. Make all the jobs require advanced degrees. Even WITH quotas and affirmative action on;y a VERY small percent of minorities can complete them, and those who do, are the cream of the crop and can usually handle the work.
