I ignore the trolling posts of his and his lame unfounded attacks on me. For some reason he thinks it's a slam of me to suggest I work at Piggly Wiggly. I'm sure a lot of good and hard-working people work for Piggly Wiggly. A lot of them have families, pay taxes, etc. I would never stoop so low as to denigrate a whole industry of workers.

Just FYI though, no one here, through any posting of theirs, has the ability to make my life worse. SOME actually make it better. I like to read insightful posts on this topic, and while you and Fat Hurts have had plenty of those, Trollminator and Conundrum have been very good lately.

If I ever decide something I am doing is making my life worse, I stop doing that immediately. Ain't nobody got time for that!

I’ve never seen a troll put so much effort into their scheme. That is why we know Sally is mostly “outrageously stupid”. A$$hole? Yeah that too.

When you say that most people who go to community college have no business attempting college, that is incredibly insulting to them.

A lot of them leave for urgent need or desire to work full time. It’s not for the lack of intelligence or potential.

And more to my point, businesses are lacking a pool of educated workers to fulfill job needs.

The country needs to invest in its future.

If the truth insults them, then it does.

I agree that a lot leave for reasons other than lack of intelligence or potential, but MOST do not. MOST leave because they are not well suited to be college students, they gave it a shot at the Community College because it was cheap, and then the discovered they couldn't hack it.

The biggest areas of need are jobs that do not require a college degree. Service industry, electricians, manufacturing, skilled trades, etc.

There are other areas too, but you can't just create college-educated people out of nothing.

Like I have said, I would be all for FREE trade schools, free truck driving certification, government-paid apprenticeships. I am not for the government spending tax dollars on free 4-year college educations...there are just too many ways for people to go to college already that doesn't destroy them financially, and it will just bring in more people who have no business going to college.

Not sure why this offends you, but that most recent stat is that 69.7% of American high school students go to college. That is too high a percentage. That many students are not equipped to go to college. Community Colleges around the country and some low-tier colleges accept really bad students who have next to no chance of getting through with a degree. Free college would create even more of them.

One of the worst colleges in Ohio is Shawnee State University. It has a graduation rate of 29.7%. That is abysmal. More than 7 in 10 go there, pay money to attend for X amount of time and never get a degree. Free college will bring more of those kinds of students into it. Throwing money down the toilet.

There IS an argument to be made that if college students didn't have to pay back loans that they would spend more money on goods and services thus priming the economy. Maybe. Lenders and all their employees would miss out though.

We don't need an influx of bad students trying to get college degrees just because it's free.

You are either an idiot or a troll. There are no other choices.
