Much of what you say is true, and I guess people need both schooling and practical. The thing I don't like is that those with higher education will be able to obtain positions that affect the majority in many unfavourable ways. I see this constantly. Ridiculous rules and regulations but when those with good sense should speak up, they don't, b/c they are facing someone with a degree or PHD (piled higher and deeper) and are intimidated, may not have the public speaking skills.
When did someone without an expensive education become a cabinet member or Prime Minister. Or mayor of a major city, these things affect all of us and I think we end up with the fox guarding the chicken coop.

Unemployment everywhere is measured by THOSE looking for work. In Sk, are the First nations, counted? I doubt 4% if they are included, more like 10%. Are the foreign workers "looking"? Again a skewed number?

[errolanderson]

boarder . . . this was the worst monthly jobs number for the U.S. this year. A cause for concern for the U.S. Fed.

Dont get me started on those ****ing university criminals.

Give out student loans to jack up tuition to pay for salaries,brain wash everyone in the country they need an education,make the trades and rig type jobs look like for the mentally handicap-creating a serious labour market distortion,monopolize the actual careers that make sence by making them impossible to get into and create a shortage of those professionals,so they can charge what ever the hell they want in the private sector-lawyers dentists,etc..

Next up relators....

As far as the economy,50 millionish?on food stamps,unemployment closer to 20%,real inflation 6-8%,un funded liabilities 100 trillion ish,consumption 70% of gdp,number of people who take out more than they put into the system 50%,total percent of personal and corprate tax revenues need to balance federal government expenditures-100

[errolanderson]

cotton . . . Don't want to get too bearish on agriville to offend some viewers, but holy crap the U.S. labour force is in very bad shape.

Just line up at an American grocery store and watching how many food stamps are cashed in front of you.

Maybe a wider division between rich and poor down there as well? The working poor are happy to have a job and at lesser wages.
Wealthy working middle class here skewing expectations? No one left in this country even qualified to 'pick cotton'.
One thing caught my attention, OPP contract states they automatically get a raise to trump if any other civil employee gets one.
Read a perfect expression today.
"Bell the cat". Indeed.
