Just as $1 in food stamps changes into $1.30 for the economy.

Then again just take a wad of money and every hour move it to another pocket if it makes you feel good.

Dell why do you continually quote my post and then rant about something completely different then my point?

You can only push too far. In a country with so many weapons in the hands of the populace there is potential for some real fireworks ahead.

Sorry it's probably too abstract for you to understand.

Similar to asking the WalMart Greeter where the printer ink is.

But as long as Danzig says more people are going to college it's all good.

Even though we know over 50% of young African American males in Chicago drop out of high school.

Nah.. It's you Dell all that Private School learning and you have the reading comprehension of a sixth grader. When in doubt obfuscate the issue with a straw man. You counter Danzig fact with a statistic that may be true but has nothing whatsoever to do with disproving her statistic. The only fool you are fooling with this tactic is yourself.

Geez and I thought when Danzig wrote and I quote, "This country is still the number one manufacturer in the world" she meant the U.S.

Or in your mind is Danzig a better source than the world's largest accounting firm?

Wasn't addressing what you are commenting about but don't let that stop you

[Danzig]

Jms, your quoting dell defeats the ignore feature.....

Google is useful. One would find stats indicating college now vs decades ago...including the fact that in the early 70s, 11% of americans had degrees. Its now 33% and rising, with 75% of hs grads now going to college.
One would also see that more and more people are now underemployed. But im sure its their own fault....

How about the government distributing the $23.45 billion sales tax it takes in from WalMart sales every year?

Divided between WalMart's 525,000 hourly employees giving them each $44,666 or a $22.20 per hour raise.
