I think I've found a new talking point ....As you know there is the bigmac economics comparison but I think
a Hillary speech $$$ economy might put things into a deeper perceptive.
How many speeches would it take Hillary
to build this if she got $230,000 for less than an hour of work?
This would take only 27 speeches.....to build this.

(36,988 posts)One of the biggest factors in calculating the average cost of a college degree is whether the school is a public or private institution. In the 2010-2011 school year, the national center for education statistics (NCES) calculated the average yearly public not-for-profit education institutions cost at $13,600; this calculation included fees such as: room and board, books and transportation. The average cost for a private not-for-profit education institution was around $36,000 with the same expenses attached. For more information on average college education prices, visit the Nation Center for Education Statistics.

They have some amazing solar bike paths, bike paths lit at night, and there are bike paths EVERYWHERE! Bicycles there are a major means of transportation. There are probably twice as many bikes as people there.
I have been to the Netherlands twice (my girlfriend is Dutch). Each time I go there there is more that impresses me. From the time you leave customs at Schipol Airport, and can catch a train to nearly anywhere in the country in a half hour during normal business hours, to the quaint town centers with all the local stores (as well as the national chains), to the markets on Saturday, they are more advanced than we are here in the US.
Whenever I come home to JFK airport, I feel like I live in a second world country.
It is no wonder that I plan to retire there, marry my girlfriend, and spend the rest of my life there.
