    College has already been wasted by countless people with BS degrees (no not bachelors of science), and now they want them for free? Sheesh.

    If we should pay money for our rights to health care and education, what about paying a fee for our privilege to speak (formerly our freedom of speech)?

    Each time someone exercises his privilege to speak on this board, his credit card should be debited $5 and transmitted to the message board. $3 of that would go to the owner, $1 to the power-hungry Numero Uno moderator, and $1 to the Board Treasurer so I can keep records and enforce rules.

    That's a good one. I remember when I failed out of college at 22 after having a 3.8 my first three years. Depression/poverty and its causes are oppressive in themselves, please shackle on top of that more weight. Encumber me to all end. Please, out of the goodness of your heart, pile it on.

    Give what exactly? I think a good argument could be put forth that their cost(military) is astronomical to their value. So paying someone to do something with a net value of 0 or less than zero, is not comparable to giving people free money for doing nothing?

    Performing public service in exchange for public money is that hard to grasp?

    You've got to be kidding to challenge me on things like this.

    http://www.crainsnewyork.com/articl...9914/perfect-storm-led-to-fast-food-wage-hike

    The story of the economic recovery that began seven years ago is that it has been accompanied nationally by virtually no increase in real (inflation-adjusted) wages. Pay is rising in New York City, but nowhere near as quickly as it should, given the city’s record job growth and the now record number of people in the labor force. This is in sharp contrast to the economic booms of the 1990s and 2000, when fast-food restaurants were compelled to offer pay much higher than the national rate. Crain’s stories from both eras detail the competition to attract workers.
