No, actually, they won't, because jobs are increasing; manufacturing is increasing

All those part-time jobs, er, manufacturing jobs coming back...Even a decrease in off-shoring? RMoney and the Righties will be so disappointed... All those beautiful talking-points and outrage-of-the-day, down the toilet....

Great point LJ, manufacturing is coming back, why? Because the dollar is falling, and American labor is becoming cheaper. (In essence, American's were earning $10 an hour in manufacturing compared to Chinese workers earning $1 an hour, but now if those same Americans are essentially down to earning $8 an hour and the Chinese are up to $3, jobs will return.)

More Obama achievements, bringing jobs back by making American workers earn less in real terms.

Look, once you are walking down the highway with your gas can, does not really make it better to pretend you did not run out of gas?

Race to the bottom?

Look everyone who has no place to live or cannot eat can just rejoice at reading Lmoney's articles about the people one or two economic classes above them are doing better and better. They lost their jobs so these people that were already ok could get a couple more dollars an hour and now they get to not get reasonable welfare because their govt is focused on college loan policy.

How about we don't allow our govt to do anything else in regards to college loan policy or lending until 99% of people in the US are well fed and out of the cold. Anyone disagree? Do you feel that education tomorrow for some is more important than others eating today. There are not unlimited resources.

Is there really any other public policy task after defending our boarders? How do people that claim to care get past this all the way to college loans market manipulation as the next best thing we can do with our govt better than feeding and housing starving children?

What a bullshit discussion. It's crunch time on feeding Americans and getting them out of the cold, it's freakin' November.

Higher Education is a privilege, not a requirement, a need or a right.

Let's have some priorities and start pretending like we have a limited amount of resources, because if we had all we needed, there would be nothing to fight over.

I bet way back when, in a REAL community that really cared for each other, depended on each other like Lmoney's US utopia, that NO ONE would have lalalaed the time away playing jazz until everyone in the community was fed. Arts and humanities came out of having extra time to do things that were not practical or necessary for survival. But somehow we have evolved to not only live in a society that allows folks to starve, but we somehow simultaneously have time to be creative enough play jazz or bitch via the blues and think that is OK, while we preach (or sing) about how much we care.

I think we are all full of it, esp the rest of you.

Thank you for that empty, irrelevant bit of drivel... I think you need to go get some more FauxNews talking-points... These aren't working for you too well..

defending our boarders


I assume you meant "borders"? Or do you have some live-in renters that need defending?
