of course they did. i think soldiers should have free education across the board for the most part. |
That and free health care. Teachers too.

the teacher loan forgiveness plan is what i'm aiming for but you have to teach at low income schools that qualify for 5(more like 3 would be preferable) consecutive years but that's fine by me. a lot of teachers i've spoken to have had issues getting it though.

for the most part they get free health care.
i don't think they should have to pay federal taxes especially when in hostile zones...

I make under 25k and get taxes taken out of my check and then still owe when it comes to tax time. And guess what? Gov't says I make too much money to receive food assistance or state/fed healthcare. So no, I am not happy about folks in a program that I help to fund being able to buy honey buns and 3 liter fruit punch soda when I can only afford beans and rice.

but this is why you have students who aren't prepared to major in STEM programs. if you don't have the basics, you will fail in college.

Teachers should have a lot more access to certain things. Not all teachers are good, but I couldn't imagine the issues the deal with trying to educate these lil bastards alllll day long 5 days a week.

one could argue that the economy boost was direct result of the rise of middle class and the power of their dollar
