What I'm saying is because of the ag laws, factory farms end up crowing out locally-sourced foods. And now, we find that we will be importing chicken from China. I think you and I both agree the agriculture laws are a mess. I think the solution is more community and urban farming.
Um....no. Factory farms crowd out local farms because they are more efficient.
It's why food spending has actually decreased as a percentage of household spending.
Furthermore, I don't know from where you got this idea that Starbucks workers are post-college kids who can't get a job.
By being in Starbucks every day... pretty much. It's where I meet my clients for the aforementioned resume business.
Moving right along.
It's not your determination what is a useful field or not.
It is when you are asking the rest of us to pay for it with scholarships and subsidized student loans.... which is the point of this thread.
NOPE. College is expensive because states cut funding to education to pay for useless tax cuts, and the deficits that come from those tax cuts have to be closed because many states have STUPID Balanced Budget Amendments.
No, Balanced Budget Amendments are smart. I wish we had one at the Federal level.
Look, if we are going to get serious about controlling deficits, then we have to make some choices we aren't going to like. Yes, it would be nice to pay for all these nice things, but sometimes you have to buy the Focus because you can't afford the Mercedes.
