Get Used to Unemployment
As mentioned above the Ultra Wealthy are now having a great time and our Legislators are making sure they will be well taken care of, ============ Well, in a nutshell, that is the whole enchilada of the Yale piece; http://pas.sagepub.com/content/38/2/152.full.pdf+… .— August 20, 2010 2:17 p.m.

Is the US starting to slide, or perhaps it's on it's way ? =========== We are essentially bankrupt, as a nation, state and city-we have already been flsuhed down the toilet. The question now is how are we going to get out. There is only one way-cap gov spending and work on rebuilding the middle class backbone of America, our manufacturing base.— August 20, 2010 11:22 a.m.

Palm Springs spring break was so huge back in the 80's, it is hard to imagine it today. But that is all long gone-and has been replaced by pretty much alargely gay population, who started coming out from the Laguna Beach and other OC areas when housing got too expensive there in OC.— August 20, 2010 11:17 a.m.

Daniel2 ClayinNP newsfollower11 All three of these accounts were opened yesterday and have just 1 post-the ones here. They are all obviously connected to the dispute personally, and have an agenda. Come clean folks, what is your stake in this dispute and why not give concrete info instead of unsupported comments.— August 20, 2010 8:11 a.m.

And parents wonder why our schools can't do a better job; the truth is that our Schools are being poorly managed and all "our education money" is not being used properly! By Founder ==================== Oh, I agree Founder-you're preaching to the chior on this issue!!!!!!— August 20, 2010 8:06 a.m.
Get Used to Unemployment
I was amazed at how many students are "undecided" and did not know what they wanted to major in. Instead of finishing college in 4 years, they were there for 6-8 years. Living in a city like San Diego, where there are excellent public schools, you can minimize your costs by staying at home and getting a viable degree at a minimal cost--though much more than when I went to school. Far too many kids make it a point to go to a school that is far from home and incur, or their parents, much higher costs than necessary. By johnsd 12 ======================= John, you CANNOT finish school in 4 years at most state institutions b/c you cannot get the classes b/c the school is impacted. It was this way at SDSU over 30 years ago when I went there and tuition was $150 a semester, and it is worse today. As for living at home, that works if you have a school near your home, many metro areas in CA do not have a state school within a distance to make this possible, BUT even if they did the tuition cost today for the LOWEST cost universities-state universities- run $5K-$40K per year. Those are the cheapest, go to s USD or USC and you can add on much more. Eduication is not what it used to be here in CA. Please hit the link in my post in #42 right above-it has an AWESOME breakdown of how the wealthy have co-opted the Congress the last 30 years and wiped out the middle class. This article from Yale University academics nails why there has been an explosive rise in the superrich in the USA, and the slow collapse of the middle class. The rise of a well organized busines/gov lobbying infrastructure, which has bought Congress and the White House ever since the late 1970s. This article goes a step beyond the normal vague comments about the plutocracy and details the specific laws that bought and paid for Congress has done to destroy the middle class including: - collapse of the labor unions - protection of company management against shareholders - massive tax cuts for the rich - special low tax rate of 15% for hedge fund managers A very depressing, but energizing read. http://pas.sagepub.com/content/38/2/152.full.pdf+… Good stuff— August 20, 2010 8:04 a.m.
