I have a bachelor's in Political Science and a master's in Public Admin both from a top 20 university, fully funded by student loans and I got out at only $48k in debt. That guy is full of poo poo. :colbert:

I have friends who got out of med school with less loan debt.

"Only" $48,000.

Most people would call someone $48,000 in debt royally screwed unless they start selling cocaine for a living. For a middle-class American, it's considered a normal part of growing up.

The schadenfreude here is state schools offering liberal arts degrees with no applicable job skills (english, poli sci, history) for $60,000, knowing full well 80% of those students will graduate into jobs just above the national poverty line, and selling it to hopeful kids as a necessity to avoid working at McDonalds.

Well, at least it's schadenfreude for the schools sitting on massive piles of wealth earned from naive kid's debt. For the rest of us it's spelling the doom of our economy but lol whatevs v:shobon:v

I hope Bernie takes to the hill and becomes the world's oldest guerrilla leader. I have trouble trusting any politician that hasn't done time for his views or engaged in some form of insurrection.

Bernie Sanders didn't serve time, but he did get arrested in 1963 while protesting attempted segregation and was fined $25 (the equivalent of $193 today) for resisting arrest. So actually, the tiny old Jewish grandpa is the most legit of all the candidates.

For comparison, at the same time as Bernie Sanders was getting arrested for fighting segregation:

* Hilary Clinton was campaigning for Barry Goldwater (an anti-abortion and anti-homosexuality Republican who wanted to bust up unions and welfare).

* Donald Trump was attending a military academy and possibly faking a medical deferment to avoid the draft.

* Ted Cruz did not exist.

It's not hard to get good jobs with liberal arts degrees (especially poli sci and english). You just have to specialize and start putting in the work as an intern during school, which is never made clear and most schools ignore.

At least it's better than former Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey who was found protesting the introduction of University fees just after trying to make tuition ludicrously expensive.

The funniest thing about that whole birther horseshit is that even if it was all true, even if Obama was born amidst a pack of hyenas in the deepest, darkest, most Muslim jungles of Kenya, with HD cameras filming the whole thing and a birth certificate signed by Idi loving Amin, he's still a natural-born American citizen because his mother is American.

Hey, if you're born outside America, you're not a real American.

Also, if you're born inside America, but your parents aren't legally American, you're still not a real American.

Don't think they're intended for fishing, though.

I was always told that the ones they actually used for hunting weren't designed to return at all.
