We see how well the left have done everyplace else... Detroit is their crowing achievement. Product of the decades of Democrat "Leadership".

Total failures everyplace with horrible economies. The best employers flee liberal areas because liberals hate businesses. And those jobs leave with them.

They suck as educators as well. Education isn't brainwashing with propaganda, and propaganda is all the left has to go on.

Technology and cheap labor runs the factories out of the country, along with emerging global markets... and cheap labor. Beer is as easy to get in America as a gun, and any dope you can imagine by young and old legal and illegal, despite the right wing holler machine. Youngsters don't make policy or practice, old duffs do, and Detroit is hardly the only place with problem, righties just say it is. None of which has anything to do with the topic as usual.

The kids didn't screw up the world... we did. Simple truth own it.

No it's the people that believe Businesses and the rich can pay the bills for the free stuff the rest gets that ran the businesses out of the country. Don't say WE did it when it's the left and all the rest that expect something for nothing that did it.

No business can compete in that environment. There is no level of productivity that can overcome the cost associated with all those imposed upon them. It used to be enough up to that certain breaking point when it forced them to close or move offshore.

Nothing is free....the people that expect free stuff are the least willing to work for free themselves to pay for it. And coincidentally its the young who think they are entitled to everything without working for it or paying their dues to earn it that are the most guilty.

Our grandparents, our parents and even those of us that are over 50 have not had everything handed to us. (except for certain minorities but that's for another discussion).

If you wanted something you worked hard enough to pay for it or you did without it.

gotta love it . The lefties create the scenario where businesses have to flee a locality ,or a nation ;and then rail against the business that take that option . IE the US has the highest corporate tax rate in the free world . Then when a business exits to a nation with less taxes the lefties and the Trumpsters threaten tariffs .

I need a score card, I have a hard time figuring out who is on first, what inning is it and what is the score? Who is pitching, is he a lefty or a righty. Most of you guys who have done a lot of cheering have been in the stands for a long time and as a newbie, I am out in right field. Whatever!!

I think you will find more right leaning than left here, some are actually sitting on the fence. So you better understand the lead question here originated because a leftist leader suggested a change and cynically that is because the young who have little experience of living under radical leftist policies think they will be advantaged where the government will give them something to keep them sweet, that might be more welfare, cheap access to higher education and training and even jobs

Most of the people in college aren't even smart enough to be there in the first place. Or waste huge amounts of money on fields of study that won't or at best are highly unlikely to land them a job. Then whine about having to pay it back.

Nobody had a gun to their heads when they enrolled and picked those majors. They did it on their own. If they were half as smart as they think they are, they would have picked courses of study that actually have jobs...and not Liberal arts or Ancient Greek Mythology, or Philosophy. That last one is a good one...I wonder if they ever sat down to ponder where exactly the jobs for people that study that are? Apparently not.

And people like this vote.....scary..isn't it.

paraclete · Oct 31, 2015, 03:44 PM

No people like that find their way into government and politics that's scary

The problem is those who are inexperienced are attracted by handouts and hate change

Yeah, where is my "Obama Phone", as a small example.

talaniman · Nov 2, 2015, 08:42 AM

Ever try to get a job without a phone? Plus the program started under Ronald Reagan, and every president since has continued it. That's scary that you don't know the FACTS and call others DUMB, and shouldn't be allowed to vote for it!

Obviously you are not a part of the INFORMED electorate, despite your claims of vast experience!

You are ENTITLED to your opinion, as fact less as that may be!

smoothy · Nov 2, 2015, 10:03 AM

They had Obama phones under Regan?

This was a cell phone in 1987. Doctors and rich people had them. Nobody else could afford them.

They’re Reagan phones, not Obama phones | MonroeNews.com

But did you know the history of this program dates to two previous presidents? And the service isn't funded by taxpayer dollars. The discounted, sometimes free, wireless services that started to become available to low income households in 2005, under George W. Bush's administration, is an expanded and updated version of the Lifeline telephone service program that launched in 1985, under Ronald Reagan's administration.

smoothy · Nov 2, 2015, 10:16 AM

A landline is a necessity... but a cell phone is a luxury when you don't have money because of the differences in cost. And certainly everyone in the house doesn't "NEED" their own personal cell phone either. Unless they can afford to pay for it themselves.

Maybe the poor need an Armani, and a Coach subsidy so they can afford luxury clothing too.

Net10 even offers free (reconditioned) cell phones. Their minutes plan is very reasonable. (Yes, I have one of their phones, an ancient one.)

So this allows the electioneers to keep the message going but youth has to do more than receive a message to vote, how advanced are they towards an app which will allow SMS or other vote? Social media is the way to go to get youth more engaged in voting
