83. Higher ed used to be free and is in europe. Raise the min wage to help pay for
things that should be free and could be free seems futile. Free higher ed. National single payer health care ins. Working on masters and then get sick or have an accident and miss and then all those student loans become due...it's the luck of the draw right now for you so don't have an accident or catch hepatitis or god forbid have a child that does because then you're out. There should be a common safety net. If other countries have one why don't we. Many poor people were not always poor, especially those that became disabled...like over 20000 vets this year. We need Edwards...but we need Kucinich more.
Kucinich/Edwards '08. They tell us we can't...why? MONEY. They represent the only real change from the money party...from the dinosaurs of pork...the porky pigs...the beltway insider elites (both dem and repuke). We need the progressive direction which will eliminate the porky pigs, make education free, and provide an emergency safety net to help eliminate poverty.

I know how to do it and if I know how to do it you can be sure "they" know how to do it but the greed and profiteering of the money party prevents it.
