I live in Missouri, and public schoool funding was SLASHED by our increasing move towards Fascism, and ONLY THEN performance declined
#3
Missouri used to be WELL educated and progressive. We've been forced to destroy the commons by Republicans and this year we will see Unions made illegal. I'm selling and moving, probably to France, but if California secedes......... BTW I bought Evloution, and LOVE it. We plan to play with Orange Hitler fans in FL over XMAS
#4
We don't need to TRY privatized schools, we ALMOST NOTHING BUT privatized schools for over a century, very low literacy, and government for the governors. (like Cuba pre-Castro.)
#5
Ask these clowns if they would support privatized schools where anyone is allowed to attend any school, including tranporation to/from, at zero cost.
#6
The Republicans, including Orange Hitler, have repeatedly said that the USA must lower wages to compete. They are right. When Americans work for $2 a day, no company will send fabric to Haiti to sew into clothes. What they never mention is at $2 a day, Americans will have the same standard of living as Haitians. Why not pay $1 a day, then Americans can make clothes for Haiti.
#7
The conversion of USA 2017 to Germany 1932 is underway. My unofficial research, talking to people in cities and rural, finds about 60% of Americans have no idea this is happening. I'm moving to France. After they've taken the blacks, jews, hispanics, women, gays, and lovers of freedom, I won't be here.
#8
Republicans love simple solutions. Think if they could skip right past poverty and slavery and just sell all the land to a handful of people and give them OWNERSHIP of anyone who isn't nobility on THEIR land. We could call it feudalism. Oh, has that been tried? From the point of view of the ultra rich, feudalism is the good old days.

From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
You mean man, telling the truth to a low knowledge fooled person
