    thanks to DeVos if you get ripped off by a fraudulent student loan company your degree will be worthless and you'll be bankrupt. Isn't capitalism great?!

      Politics aside that school was destined to fail. It had like 200 students. A friend had a kid at another bigger school that nearly went under. They had done no investigation into the financial stability of the school. Schools are non profits (well, except the for-profits) so you can look at their financial information. If you visit a school and it feels stale, look into that. Conversely, if they're spending like drunken sailors, where is that money coming from?

        I voted for Bernie. Would do again. Nevertheless, his wife screwed that job up. Still, why are we going on about her? She didn't run for office. She has a good job and didn't sleep her way to the top and into a green card.

        But, here, this will help: https://www.forbes.com/sites/schifri.../#23c97b557d68.

          Love the Bern, don't know enough about what happened with her school so I won't say about that. Bernie may not run and honestly I kind of hope he doesn't. At this point I want someone who can win and I'm not sure he can. The GOP will hammer his "socialist" positions (you and I know it isn't communism but to Trumpies it is) and will utilize her also (even if not at fault) because that's what they do. Problem is, who? They've got no one.

            No socialism is not communism- the world has never seen true communism
            The Soviet Union was forced socialism and they had to wall people in and kill 20-50 million of them to keep them in line. But that was 25 years ago
            A more recent example of your socialist dream would be .....
            Venezuela- I socialist paradise where they are down to eating their pets
            It’s a theory that works in small doses but has never worked on a large scale and relies on people accepting shared misery and forgoing personal gain, in exchange for a level of safety
            Works for sheep until it’s harvest time

              Well said. Most liberals don't have a clue what they're asking for.

                  Ahahhaahahaha.

                  Venezuela was one of the most prosperous countries thru mid-century bolstered by oil revenue with high standard of living, education, etc. it collapsed thru dependence on commodity prices, corruption, etc. the reactionary movement to the far left in the past couple decades isn't the root cause of the decline versus mismanagement of the economy. But keep trotting out those pepe memes...

                    Relying on a commodity is not exactly capitalism... yes mismanagement by leftist ideology.

                        greed, corruption and stupidity have no ideologies (cf US 2007, 1929, 2018(?))

                          Greed is good... has driven the greatest technological advances the world has ever seen and has moved billions of people out of poverty to high standards of living.

                          Sounds like you're happy living under a rock. No need to participate if you're afraid of 1929, 2007 or today.

                            Like Medicare. Ditch it as socialist garbage or keep it?

                              Or social security. Cons think "socialism" = communism. That is especially rich given their new found love for Russia.

                                Social Security and Medicare are earned benefits.

                                Medicaid, which is what Obama put 7 million more on by changing the rules, is a handout. That's what Progressives want for everyone , another handout entitlement.
