Quote from RiceRocket:
What sucks is that they print the money out of nothing, so it's really not owed to anyone. But, in sleight of hand, add it to the balance sheet of the treasury, which forces the borrowing rates to go up for the US government, which forces the treasury to raise taxes to new higher levels on Americans.
Our system of public education is mostly shit, I'll agree with ya on that one. I would argue that the reason it's shit is because it gets a lot of anti-social students. I know, I taught for 5 yrs.Quote from res:

AMT4SWA does make a difference. I was not fully aware of just how bad things were. First, he got my attention because he made these ridiculously good trade calls. Second, he really got my attention when pointing out an important agenda being carried out by those in power that I was unaware. I in turn, will inform others. Thus the "pay it forward" mentality will pay exponential dividends over time.

However, libraries are still free and open to citizens and illegals alike, so your argument doesn't work because parents who value education are involved with their kids.
The rest, which is the majority, just drop them off at the bus stop and don't give it a 2nd thought.
