Bush and Minimum Wage (Community Colleges)
OK. I screamed at the TV on the part about raising the minimum wage. He went blathering about education and folks going to community colleges to learn a trade or get an education. Bush, what do you then say to a person with an advanced degree (or two) who has been out of work for two years due to your eceonomic policies. How the f+$k will they benefit from a community college? My IT job that has been outsourced to India is not going to come back while you are president. I don't need to go to a community college. asshat.

1. But no, you're just not listening to what he's really saying!
/sarcasm off.

I look at all the engineers getting their jobs outsourced and wonder how they will benefit from a community college education...and if that education benefit will include food and clothing for the student's family. He really did very badly. :hi:

2. I KNOW WTF - I think Bush lost the election with that
anybody who knows anything knows that that is a very stupid idea except for maybe laid off burger king cashiers and convenience store clerks. Nut those jobs aren't going anywhere cause the rich need convenient servants everywehere

3. The jobs being created don't require degrees
How are people supposed to pay the bills while going to Community College? This was so utterly ridiculous. Reminds me of Bush's professor saying Bush once said poor people are poor because they are lazy.

6. Does SHRUB think all unemployeed people are dumb?
I dont understand why did he keep insisting that unemployeed people need school. Is he saying they're dumb thats why they lost jobs? I didnt get that. Seems odd his puppet masters would give him that as a talking point.
