1. That would be just the opposite

of what the repbulicons want for our Country. But, a way to get them out is to get Active and always Vote.

Thanks for the graphic, she.

6. Good evening Cha~

You are right...we will VOTE like crazy!

[rhett o rick]

40. I voted for Democrats but somehow I got Republicans like Clapper and Mueller

and Tim Geitner, Lawrence Summers, Ben Bernanke, William M. Daley, Jeff Immelt, Alan Simpson, Dave Cote, Jeb Bush, Robert Gates, Gen Stanley McChrystal, Jacob Lew, Jeremiah Norton, Gen Petraeus, John Brennen, Chuck Hegal, Michael Taylor, James Comey.

If I vote for Ms. Clinton will I get more Republicans??

2. VERY sorry its too late for my daughters, ages 25 and 28, to move to Nordic countries;

they're both about to have children, and I am VERY concerned about the family's (and country's) future for the reason you suggest.

10. Because the powers that be don't want an educated population! They're harder to control. n/t

11. ..your rich own most politicians and FOOL most to keep it that way...

There's the rub.

[msongs]

13. It is a real travesty

The corrupt state of our nation.

Government owned by corporations and not representative of the people.

It gives a legitimate argument to those that wish to render government powerless.

What those people don't realize is that powerless government is the end goal of the corporations that have corrupted our government.

Such corporations wish to take our government's traditional roles for profit.

We can start to change things by cutting the gonads off of ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council).

We can only do that by educating ourselves and then others.

The recovery will take decades.

If we don't start right now, we will be a totalitarian state.

Then all of us can fear the "black helicopters". The privatized, contractor type of black helicopters.

14. It is pictures like these

that make me so envious of other countries sometimes. Countries like Canada and some of the European nations really seem to have it good and seem to be on the correct side of the debate on more issues than we are. And I'm as much of a patriot as the next guy, but is the U.S. truly the greatest country on Earth if we cannot even provide college education with no strings attached?

[xtraxritical]

31. Start with single payer nationalized health care please.

[Jamaal510]

37. That too. Especially.

[Notafraidtoo]

15. I know some here don't have respect for the millinials...

Some think we are lazy,rude and have poor english skills. Others complain that we can not write or read cursive and don't read newspapers..

Just wait until we are all in the 45-55 age range and it becomes so clear that our parents and grand parents have left us nothing.

Just wait until we and our children see that the greed of the past few generations have destroyed any hope of a True American dream.

Then you will see us take to the streets and invoke a economic revolution on this country that will rival that of the greatest generation. Then we can be like the democratic socialist country's that many of us envy, its just a matter of time and it wont happen until the cookie jar is empty.

20. The plan to educate all children is here...staring at Pre-K

K-12 Education

In today’s global economy, a high-quality education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity—it is a prerequisite to success. Because economic progress and educational achievement are inextricably linked, educating every American student to graduate from high school prepared for college and for a career is a national imperative. The President has articulated a goal for America to once again lead the world in college completion by the year 2020, and all of President Obama’s education efforts aim toward this overarching objective.

To create an economy built to last, we need to provide every child with a complete and competitive education that will enable them to succeed in a global economy based on knowledge and innovation. To provide a high-quality education to all American children, President Obama has advanced reforms around four key objectives:

Higher standards and better assessments that will prepare students to succeed in college and the workplace

Ambitious efforts to recruit, prepare, develop, and advance effective teachers and principals, especially in the classrooms where they are most needed

Smarter data systems to measure student growth and success, and help educators improve instruction

New attention and a national effort to turn around our lowest-achieving schools.

Since taking office, the Obama Administration has designed and implemented

38. Eliminating public education is not the same as educating the people

In the countries in the OP poster, education for everyone is paid for entirely. The president wants to do exactly the opposite - completely replace public education with profit centers. He wants to turn our education system into a replica of our health care system - worst in the world, despite the highest cost.

26. I like the millenials a hell of a lot better than my own generation (in general, of course)

I'm pushing into my upper-40s. So many of the people I grew up with were selfish little Reagan Youth pricks with a sense of entitlement as wide as the Mississippi. They haven't changed much, as far as I can see.

My kids, their friends, and my younger relatives are smart, liberal, gay-friendly, internationally minded and they have a healthy cynicism about the bought-and-paid-for-by-corporations workings of the U.S. government.

[xtraxritical]

32. Are the Koch Bros. baby boomers? I don't think so.

Boomers' fixed it the way it needed to be fixed in the mid-sixties. I see that millennials are letting all that fall apart and going goofy over the R. Pauls. Millenials should be smarter and stick with DEMOCRATS. Any other vote is tantamount to a Republican vote. BTW, Republicans are the ones that made the mess.

16. Excellent

It took years of work for the RW to get this mission accomplished. Now Americans have to take our lives back and change the mission back to We The People.

[burnodo]

17. asking Americans to be reasonable is an unreasonable request

just sayin'

[Uncle Joe]

19. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, sheshe.

21. When is enough going to be enough

Knowing the "general public",as I think I do,enough will be enough at some point past being able to do anything about it...

[OneGrassRoot]

22. Huge K&R n/t

[progressoid]

23. But what does this have to do with Kim and Kanye's Kid?

Inquiring minds want to know.

25. Excellent topic.

Boehnor and his Tea Party coalition in the House just flushed another segment of the voting public right down the pipes.

They don't care about anyone but themselves.

And the rich white men managing corporations that gave them the money to run for office to begin with!!

28. Many here would tell them to STFU or be bombed.

[sheshe2]

33. huh?

36. That too.

29. I have always been of the opinion that we don't have to raise taxes on the

general population to use for a free and universal education for all young people like the Nordic countries have. I do believe the 1% of billionaires and multi-global corporations should shoulder the burden. All billionaires and the corporations they sit on the boards of directors for should be paying taxes on all their transactions to fund education. They are the ones who benefit the most from an educated workforce. It's time they paid for it. Letting corporations like GE get away with paying no taxes at all is a crime.

[Enthusiast]

30. K&R! The 1% and the corporations have no love of country.

They do not care what would enhance the common good. That is why they fight tooth and nail to keep from paying a decent tax rate. It's pretty simple.

34. I would move if I could

I don't speak Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Danish or Finnish...just English and German.

Nonetheless, I would "go Nordic" if I could, but moving to another country just isn't as easy as it sounds.

I live near the Canadian border. I would move there in a heartbeat but unless you're a political refugee, have guaranteed in writing employment, immediate family or are a citizen of another Commonwealth country it's very, very, very hard. I even asked about joining the Canadian military some years ago...I could join, but only AFTER I was already legally living in Canada, and then only as a reservist.

I think this country is too far gone down the path of RW hell to be salvageable.

35. Get out of the way

We are trying to build an aristocracy here.
