Rand Paul promises to leave NH alone if he wins presidency

That's your opinion, which the majority of the voting public doesn't share. I'm a senior and I vote for the school budget every year, because I understand the value of a good school district to a community. We have had a couple of towns ask in to our district, and in fact Middleton secondary school students will be in Kingswood next year. That's a great deal for everyone involved!

There isn't a dollar around that you don't think government can spend better than we can ourselves, NB. You are great at spending other people's money.

Your opinion is also in the minority, WHL, and I should point out that by voting for these budgets I am also spending my money, for a good investment in America's future!!

You hope!!

Right, which is why "democracy" is nothing but organized crime.

You get three of your buddies to hire strongman to collect your weekly vig.

That's what's so frustrating.

You, yourself, would never stick a gun in my face and rob me, but you think nothing of getting a proxy to do it.

That said, NJ, of all places, only spends $19211 per student per year.

Recent data shows for every pupil attending school in the Garden State, the state Education Department is spending a record $19,211

That is one of the most ridiculous posts I have read here. Do you actually believe that? The problem in America today is when a vote doesn't go a particular group's way, they say stupid $hit like you just said!!!

Good way to put it, Anti!

Of course I believe that.

What do you suppose would happen to me if I said: "I am not using this public school "service", therefore I have no obligation to pay"?

At the end of the delays and maneuvering, men with guns would come and take my property by force.

Just because 51 percent of people agreed to it.

I want no "vote" to go any way, other than leave me and you alone.

You're the one sticking a government gun in my face, demanding I pay, or else.

How's America's "future" working out?

This is the unsurprising conclusion of a sprawling international exam.
Here we go:

“Sponsored by the OECD, the test was designed to measure the job skills of adults, aged 16 to 65, in 23 countries. When the results were analyzed by age group and nationality, ETS got a shock.

It turns out, says a new report, that Millennials in the U.S. fall short when it comes to the skills employers want most: literacy (including the ability to follow simple instructions), practical math, and — hold on to your hat — a category called “problem-solving in technology-rich environments.”

Not to worry—Spain, Ireland, and Poland are in last place (of 23 countries).

Yeah, pretty lousy return on that "investment".

Of course, it's not an "investment".

Merrill Lynch does not send armed men to my home to demand that I "invest" in what they say.
