Elizabeth Warren wants to be president. I've been trying to warm up to
all these democrats, to brace myself for the despicable things he or she will vote for once elected.

The problem with most Americans is that they understand shit about politics, not even the politicians.

The only system the 1776 USexit-people understand is 'winner takes all' ... that's rather a kind dictatorship, who-ever the winner is.

How many voters carry student loan debt? Enough for this handout queen to
win the popular vote?

Are handout promises even the way to win an election these days? What about these nutjobs like Donald Trump who, instead of offering handies, offers employment opportunities instead? Or, even more unthinkable, offers dialogue with the guy who wants to nuke us?

When will these LUNATICS stop trying to make out country stronger, and start handing me some more handouts - so I can have more money for weed?

From what I hear, certain West Coast states have an oversupply of ganja. Could probably get it there, homegrown, for pennies on the dollar.

One of my disowned stepsisters works in Medford, Oregon as a "marijuana quality control tester". No kidding. Gets paid $20 an hour to sort different types of weed. For her, that's quite a challenge because I'd figured she'd smoke it all. (I have nothing to do with my two living stepsisters.)

Hello Aaron,

Elizabeth Warren wants to be president.

So do 534 other Congresscritters, 50 governors, countless mayors,
and several businessmen. Along with every cabinet member, and one
vice president. Not to mention one former vice president.

I've been trying to warm up to all these democrats, to brace myself for

the

despicable things he or she will vote for once elected.

Who sez only Democrats want the gig?

How many voters carry student loan debt?

None in Louisiana, thanks to the TOPS program.

Enough for this handout queen to win the popular vote?

Louisiana college students have their own state program (TOPS)
to pay for their tuition.

Are handout promises even the way to win an election these days?

Promises made are not promises kept.

What about these nutjobs like Donald Trump who, instead of offering

handies,

offers employment opportunities instead?

Everything ought to be free. Not just for those playing golf.

Or, even more unthinkable, offers dialogue with the guy who wants to nuke us?

Giving a tyrant something for nothing will never make that tyrant
your friend. But the tyrant will be happy to take you for a sucker
every time.

When will these LUNATICS stop trying to make out country stronger, and

start

handing me some more handouts - so I can have more money for weed?

First you need a prescription.
A prescription for disaster.
After that, anything is possible.

Everything ought to be free.

Barack Obama gave us "Cash for Clunkers".
And also extra checks for Social Security and SSI.
But he stopped short of allowing felons the right
to vote while still in prison. Had he done that
he would have been able to be President for Life.

That's good! I hope the program works well for Louisiana. NYS public colleges
& universities are free for residents too, thanks to our state assembly and
Gov Cuomo. I'm optimistic & thankful for that. I just hope the funds were allocated & not imagined.

In that case, I no longer hold a negative opinion of Obama for hiding from

I don't know what to make of the democrats legalizing marijuana. Do they
really want people (besides voters) to be happy? Marijuana is handy, but it's being over-glorified. I get stoned once a day, every day, but the drugs that
I really need are under strict government control and are basically unobtainable, so are the democrats just giving me something to suck on?

All they're doing is buying votes. The United States government's
funded and unfunded liabilities FAR exceed the value of its assets and
any reasonable estimate of its projected income (and it's still
overspending its income by well over a trillion dollars a year) -
that's a very good definition of bankrupt

Cannabis sativa grows wild around here, a lot of it. It's
called 'ditch weed' because that's where a lot of it is. Occasionally
I find some on my acreage, and I just pull it up and put it in the
trash after it dries out. If I see some on the other side of my fence
I spray it with Round-up (the other side of my fence is a corn field,

Students should be paid for attending class. They are our future,
and should be rewarded. Putting them in debt for the next thirty
years is not the answer.

Student-athletes are rewarded with scholarships. Nobody cares if
they attend classes or not. All the general public wants is a good
show, with their favorite school winning championships. But even
scholarships are not enough, as there are other expenses students
have to pay for. Such as textbooks, food, and drinking expenses.

Our educational system is so poor, that no college or university
is smart enough to offer scholarships in football, basketball,
baseball, gymastics, or whatever other choice of sport a student
wishes to participate in. Instead, our nation's colleges and
universities rake in the dough from the income received from
televised broadcasts, and revenue from tickets sold.

Graduate students get paid through internships. Teaching is
voluntary. These internships include free tuition. The least
we can, and should, do is offer undergraduates free tuition.
And not just student-athletes.

I wonder how that would work out, if the term is president for life.
The only means of removing the president from office being impeachment
by the House and trial by Senate.

Representatives would still have only 2 years per term, and Senators
only 6 years per term.

In fact, I think this may be a real possibility after the upcoming
presidential election. Assuming Donald J. Trump wins a second term.

Let's do it! But when students sign for student loans, they agree to pay it back. Paying it back is hard - so we change the rules and teach them that
legal contracts are meaningless?

What about african americans having to pay for anything at all? They were brought here against their will; the least we can, and should, do is treat
them as our superiors, enslave ourselves to them, and teach our great grandchildren to feel guilty for all the trouble they caused to african americans. We can also teach them how to whip themselves.

Many students are not able to pay it back. The interest rates
are too high, and the debt incurred takes them forever to repay.
The only realistic solutions for this are to forgive the debt,
or offer free tuition.

State programs work well, as shown by Louisiana and Georgia.
As such, there is no need for a federal program. Or should be
no need, as each state is fully capable of having its own program
for that purpose.

Of course, we already have free college tuition nationwide
with pell grants. But somebody forgot to tell Bernie Sanders.
Maybe because his wife is a retired college professor ...

What about african americans having to pay for anything at all? They were brought here against their will; the least we can, and should, do is treat them as our superiors, enslave ourselves to them, and teach our great grandchildren to feel guilty for all the trouble they caused to african americans.

Kamara Harris is in favor of reparations. For all Americans.
She was asked by the news media, point blank, how she refers to
herself, as she is of mixed race. She answered "American".
She has also publicly stated she is in favor of reparations.

We should embrace all, thus paying ourselves a huge dividend.

Not able to pay it back? Or able, but takes forever? How long is forever? It took me about 10 years to pay mine back. I only had to pay about $100/month.

The only realistic solutions for this are to forgive the debt,

What about that loan I took for my $800,000 home? It's taking forever to pay
it back. Is the only realistic solution for that to forgive the debt? Let the rich people pay it for me, because it's not fair that they got money and I don't?
