I have an additional take on the education topic above ^^^. I wonder what anyone else thinks about this. I know a couple of smart young kids who are just beginning college. They are having a rough time of it. My theory is that they have grown up playing video games – every day for xxxxxx years. Video games are known for addictive qualities of raising dopamine levels in the brain (how the game companies keep making money). So my theory is that compared to this video-game dopamine high, book learning pales by comparison for many kids.
By the way, just in case folks think I’m making this stuff up, I can further state (since it is public info):
-My MIL uses Epire as her “Medigap” insurer. They have filed a notice with the NYS Dept. of Insurance to raise their premiums by 10%. Look it up.
-My daughter’s individual policy was with Oxford. The rates for individual policies in NYS are posted on the Dept. of Insurance’s web-site. Look it up.
Obama never ran a company, a business or even a state. He’s got no hands on management experience and no decision making experience. All this has now come to light.
Obama care is terrible policy DIBS, but that doesn’t mean you can connect it to today’s jobs numbers.
Another moronic statement.
That’s not what I said at all. he spent all his time working for Obamacare and did virtually nothing to focus on what would be needed to give the econmoy a boost, like lower taxes for one thing and many other things that could have been done to at least stimulate spending.
M4l- I can’t agree or disagree when I don’t know what you’re referring to. You made a comment and I’m asking what you’re referring to, was all.

And he continues to blame the oil companies for all the ills of crude prices!!!!!!
Only people who vote straight Democrat tickets can be so stupid to believe this.
