"i am sick n tird of hering we got to envest in edyucashun"
Don't forget "college dropout"
I tend to agree with your theory that rush and beck do not want an educated public bc they would see right through them. That is obviously the case this minute bc no-one with any sense at all would listen to his hate filled speech unless they were being tortured with it. He really is quite pathetic.
Just someone who, like Rush, is tired of investing in education -- including his own.
And judging by some of his phrases {"squeeze them out of there homes", "seniors buy defination], that investment wasn't very large to begin with . . .
yes rush is an idiot for his remark but he only says it to get you all riled up. works every time.
In my experience, there is no such thing as "union rules." There are contracts between unions and employers that both sides agree to and each side should expect to be honored.
If you've had enough of beating your head against the wall, participate in the democracy by doing what I suggested earlier, or throw your support behind candidates who you think will get the job done. A doubling of property taxes, in my view, would be pretty damn motivating to a great many taxpayers to vote some people out office, especially if all they have to show for those tax hikes is more employees and buildings that never materialized.

Well, craig keeps trying to -- the only problem is, with each statement of {wrong} fact, he merely reinforces the point of why more education spending is necessary . . .
Pompous @$$
Education is the silver bullet that fixes everything, but Rush thinks otherwise... how shocking
I guess Rush saw the movie Idiocracy and thought that it was a documentary and he liked it!
You want all 75 cents?
Educated people tend to skew liberal. That shows (using faulty wingnut logic) that our higher education institutions must have a liberal bias. If everybody in the nation was indoctrinated with facts and knowledge, the possibility of somebody like Sarah Palin being seriously considered for office would be unthinkable.
This leftist "learning" must be stopped !!!
But smart people are independant.
A high school diploma isn't enough any more for a good job, and so we need to ensure that those people who can succeed in college get that chance and those for whom a high school diploma is all they'll get end up with a good education from that venue!
Oh, and way to back up your assertion that American education is uniformly bad with reasoned research, Rush. Actually, given that people are dumb enough to listen to you -- maybe you are right.
Another thing that Rush constantly says is how much better education was in the (wait for it) good old days. You know, like the 1950s, with segregation and many poor people not being educated at all. And when colleges were mostly finishing schools for well-off kids.
Just wondering.
Limbaugh began his career in radio as a teenager in 1967 in his hometown of Cape Girardeau, using the name Rusty Sharpe. He graduated from Cape Central High School, in 1969. Because of his parents' desire to see him attend college, he enrolled in Southeast Missouri State University but left the school after two semesters and one summer. According to his mother, "he flunked everything", and "he just didn't seem interested in anything except radio."
Yep! America should just take advice from him??
SMH!
