Time to start home schooling the young. Public education is financed by the same international bankers that own the mainstream media. Finance ultimately rules politics, so the elite is run that show as well. Were being colonized to perceive the world as the elite want us to. Were educated to become good workers for the elite, not critical thinkers. Ever heard of propaganda? Some of you morons are voting your second amendment away. Wake up people, do you want a modern renaissance, or dark age

The US is just going to go through a BAD spell - but on a good note it will come back someday...:)

20 years from now or so :)

I like the US but its just simple economics - at 53 i dont have time to wait for the kick the can down the road. The Policymakers dug a hole , and its going to be 10 times as worse as Europe because they never let it correct in 2008 out of continued greed.

Im lucky i never worked for a corporation and always made living wage , but im sorry i just feel that its going to get far worse - before it gets better.

Sure its going to get better , but i feel its going to get far worse first.

I was going to open a business up in the US being i have a few million in trust , but i have decided when my parents are gone in a few years , im selling out and moving to my wife's country and will start a business there.

I have had enough of the zionism in this country and the BS , sad it used to be great - but the policy makers have drove it into the ground..

Im tired of the lies and BS...

Income Based Repayment for student loans is just kicking the can down the road and with annual increases in defaults that end of the road is here for the taxpayers to foot the bill. Colleges have been taking taxpayers for a ride taking money in aid and fees. Congress should investigate where the money goes and hold administrators accountable. Eventually the number of defaults begs the question why college didn't remain free to begin with? Unsustainable debt is obvious.

I appreciate your interconnected comments that a living wage is more important than just minimum wage and the Paycheck Fairness Act illumination during the State of the Union address.

Common sense laws that address the systemic problems with gun violence are urgent. What suggestions can you amplify today that speak to a comprehensive approach?
