February 7, 201610 yr Just can't believe America has got to the point to where many feel socialism is the best answer. Sad times. It's not. And they don't. Don't let 22P sell you that bill of goods.
February 7, 201610 yr Just can't believe America has got to the point to where many feel socialism is the best answer. Sad times. Socialism is better than Billary to almost everyone.
February 7, 201610 yr In a socialist system, which you and other Righties are pushing young people towards, there is no other people's money. :wave: That's what's wrong with you and the rest of the Left, you don't understand that when you take all the money from everyone else, there's none left. Talk to Venezuela about how well socialism works.:wave:

You say that like that is a good thing and one could argue hellcats that progressive people like you are pushing people away from the left and more towards the right. Donald Trump got big in the polls for a reason. Edited February 7, 201610 yr by jbird
February 7, 201610 yr Social security, public education, and govt bailouts are just a few socialist programs that already exist. Government bailouts are not exactly a good thing and you could make a great argument that the federal government getting involved in our education system has made it worse.
February 7, 201610 yr @Hellcats I think we on the left need to stop the back and forth bickering between the conservatives and liberals. We made fun of the right for their tea party section for the longest time. We have to admit that there are crazies on our side as well. We need to clean up on our side of the political spectrum. There is an idealogical rift on the left. The super duper pc crowd is apart of it. This whole you're not progressive enough/micro aggression BS that has taken a hold on those on the far left is not doing the democrats any favors. We need to start convincing more liberals to vote in the primaries and midterm elections. Because the way I see it, it's mostly those on the far ends of the political spectrum that vote in those elections. We need a more moderate and cooperative government, not a highly polarized one.
February 7, 201610 yr Clinton is the worst kind of politician in my eyes. A highly intelligent person who thinks the rules don't apply to her. Some would say she resembles Trump but there is a difference in a business person having that attitude and a politician IMO. I would vote for anyone and I mean anyone over Clinton. If Clinton is elected president I guess the only thing I will have to look forward to is the rapture.
February 7, 201610 yr You say that like that is a good thing and one could argue hellcats that progressive people like you are pushing people away from the left and more towards the right. Donald Trump got big in the polls for a reason. Oh, I don't think complete Socialism a good thing. I just think it's funny when some think we don't have it in forms. You could say that, but it hasn't really been proven. Trump's followers are that angry middle age group. Government bailouts are not exactly a good thing and you could make a great argument that the federal government getting involved in our education system has made it worse. They are if the company gets its act together and invests in our country, but if they continue the same old irresponsible practices then no. I don't really see how you could say education has been adversely affected by the fed, but to each is own.

I don't really see how you could say education has been adversely affected by the fed, but to each is own. Companies do invest in our country. They offer these things called jobs. Also, No Child Left Behind. You trying to tell me that act was good for schools? Also, Obama bailed out the too big to fail banks. Iceland government did what he should have done, put them in jail.
February 7, 201610 yr It's not. And they don't. Don't let 22P sell you that bill of goods. The socialism train departed the station decades ago. One of the reasons for Sanders' popularity is that free-market capitalism is a corrupt shell of its former self. Don't want more socialism? Then address the deficiencies of free-market capitalism.

Also, Obama bailed out the too big to fail banks. Iceland government did what he should have done, put them in jail. Except when they send them overseas, or take profits and invest them in risky stocks instead of reinvesting in their workforce. I agree the bankers should have been prosecuted. I can't see either side of our govt doing that though. No Child Left Behind Worked | FiveThirtyEight Kind of strange to say W did a little something right.

The TPP is the government helping companies pick on smaller countries. Also, NCLB failed. All I saw in that article was data from testing. Testing is what teachers are teaching to and instead of actually trying to help their kids learn. I never met a teacher that was a fan of NCLB at Highlands. NCLB worked in the sense that there was less children "left" behind, but it failed in teaching students to get ahead. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/21/standardized-testing-no-child-left-behind_n_6517102.html http://progressive.org/news/2008/08/6696/one-teacher%E2%80%99s-cry-why-i-hate-no-child-left-behind
