What the fuck is a college education gonna do for someone if Mcdonalds cant even hire them... I'm tired of hearing how motherfuckers need more time but keep blowing money...

I understand your trane of thought, but I have to disagree some, and here's why:
Education is fundamental in any civilization. It should be crucial to educate anyone, as much as possible so they can compete in a global market and knowledge shouldn't be only for those that can afford it. That starts a class warfare and oppresses the poor even further into menial jobs because they can't afford the education to do something else even if they are qualified accademically.
There areways to cut OTHER spending and still fund educational programs.
Congress could stop ear marking laws with frivilous spending bills that grants certain things money. Millions of dollars get wasted that way because it's either pay out, or kill the initial law that needs to go through.
There are also other wasteful things that should be cut in government along with getting people the fuck out of the middle east and focusing on our own civilians more.
I work my ass off to support a daughter with NO HELP from the government. They say I make too much when after expeditures like insurances, taxes, etc, my check is absolute shit and rent takes most of that. I'm left scrounging on hotdogs n basics while other fuckers get stamps n shit and eat steak, shrimp, and crab legs.
But it is what it is. I have ethics that makes me go in everyday and bust my ass.
In 19 yrs of work, the only handout I've ever taken was the government starting a free lunch thing for ALL kids in my county up to grade 8. I didn't even ask for it.
If the governemnt restructured it's shit and politicians weren't so fucking greedy, there would be plenty of shit to get real stuff done and still run well. People toss around socialism like it's cooties, but they forget, social programs have been around since Roosevelt, going on almost 90 yrs. I'm not against helping other people get by, because in the end, it helps the group as a whole grow.
