Sorry to have offended you bobabode,

I did not call you that to offend you.

Yep, they can work at Walmart. You are right.

that is nuts also
Maybe the Left should put in cost controls like they try to do to everything else. The Left likes to see educators make LOTS of money.

Obama is putting pressure on schools to stop tuition increases or lose federal money.

Problem is the states are cutting money from education, and the schools are making it up with tuition increases.

It isn't just the educators with their fingers in the pie, though. The price of some textbooks is astronomical. The price of on-campus housing is also proof of the old real estate adage - location, location, location. The price that the school got for a two-room, four student suite could easily pay for a small house.

Regards,

D-Ray

If they are so myopic that's the only option they see, then yes, I'm sure they will end up working at Walmart.

At least, over the internet, you don't have to worry about any "inappropriate touching".

Good for them. Teachers should be paid well. The right doesn't want ANYONE to make "......LOTS of money." Except themselves, of course. Then, limitless wealth is a "constitutional right".

If you only have half of you 401k left, then you need to switch banks or learn to manage it better. Mine has recovered and surpassed 2008 levels.

Or maybe your statement is just more childish right wing doom and gloom based denial?

I thought it funny, but of course there's been upside.

It's even better Dave. I have more in my 401k, and SS is still 2.5 tril in the hole.

And I'll have to pay it - again. So much for evil business and wise government!
