I am sure Ladydoc would agree with you on that one, huh?

...The only reason that I got a degree, took me 22 years, military career interferred with schooling, was to get the GI Bill bennies while I was also working. Didn't need the college degree but wanted the bennies. Did very well in high school, attended DOD Oversea school for HS in Japan and was way ahead of those that attended HS in the states. They actually taught us something in the DOD Schools.

Do I understand correctly that your education was largely the result of government programs encouraging and enabling people to advance their education and the economic benefits that result? Interesting that we have one presidential candidate that argues that such government involvement is all wrong and should be eliminated. In fact, he home schools his kids. Would you have gotten the additional "bennies" with a home school diploma?

Are you on the Santorum bandwagon now, Richie? How many candidates that have come and gone in just the last few months have you backed as "the next best thing"? Sooner or later you'll have a candidate. There's gotta be someone who's name is on the ballot in November. And then, that guy will be un questionably better than the current POTUS. If it's Santorum, maybe Joe the Plumber will be dragged out to campaign. Then again, maybe not. His schedule may be full campaigning for his own election to the House from Ohio's 9th district. Maybe they'll find Charlie the Coalminer to put down that Harvard-educated snob.

Two interesting facts; Rick Santorum has three college degrees compared to President Obama's two degrees. Unemployment rates for college graduates hovers in the 5% range, while non-college graduates is 13%.
