Mr. President Obama
I always vote conservative and hate obozo polices with a passion, I think he is the 3 crappy presidents we have ever had Bush Jr. and Jimmy Carter the others
But it he could get this passed I would have respect for him I would put him along with Bill Clinton he had faults but did ok
Now my reasons
1. Any industrial community college done in the 80s is useless on a resume, old technology
2. College degrees of the 70s is useless in most fields on a resume today
3 Germany is kicking our ass, in the high tech industry fields, I know been in injection molding for 30 years
4. What I understand Germany is now offering free 4 year colleges
5 do we want to get further behind Germany in technology?
6. The kids I get at work for the past 15 years are complete idiots with just a high school diploma (not all still some diamonds in the ruff like I was)
7. Way to many single mothers, I know they bust there ass and try real hard, but I have seen so many kids at work with street smarts, that didn't even know what a crescent wrench was
9. Companies today deal in a global market now a Dogg eat Dogg, most companies don't even now give a christmas bonus like they used to much less a turkey on thanks giving
They cant afford the old days of sending there employees to school, like my old boss did with me
10. Cons should embrace this ideal by Mr. President Obama, if you invest in community colleges , you will get a return for your companies smarter and brighter keeping up with new technologies not falling back
11. We have I don't know a million or so of skilled jobs go unfilled because they can not find any one, I know this is true, because read about bosh local bitching about in my local paper
It is a great idea by Mr. President Obama a major return on investment , I am 49 Years old and i want to go back so bad get updated on new tech, but why?
Why should I spend say $8,000 dollars to work at a job making 60 grand a year when I Already make 60 grand a year?
With say a person like me goes back to night school I learn about new tech in automation , plcs and apply it , you can only read so much
So pleading with my fellow cons, back this plan with Mr obama.
show proof of you sending in your weekly paychecks to fund it then the "cons" might consider it. you do realize, Guberment doesn't have it's own MONEY TREES they pluck all this money to pay for all this "free stuff" right?
TAXPAYERS already pay for enough. Pay you're own way through more education and stop wanting other to do it for you
I get the distinct impression that the first two posters (that would necessarily include the OP) could benefit from taking some courses at the proposed community colleges, particularly in grammar. Just sayin...
Steph a major return on the investment hell Germany knows

Obama's 'Free' Community College Plan Could Cost $34B Per Year

Previewing an item from his upcoming State of the Union address, President Obama
announced a "Free Community College" plan Thursday evening for "anyone who's willing to work for it":
According to Justin Sink of the
Hill, Cecilia Muñoz, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, declined to put a price tag on the plan during a conference call Thursday evening. Rather Muñoz said details of the plan will be in the president's next budget proposal.
However, the president's announcement said that the plan could benefit as many as nine million students who could save an average of $3,800 per year. This would put the total cost at a little more than $34 billion.
In a
video accompanying the announcement, the president said that his plan would be "making two years of community college free for anyone who's willing to work for it."
At $34 billion per year, taxpayers at least will be working for it, willing or not.
