Look at any college curriculum. Plenty of engineering and business courses.

As far as jobs coming back in droves, they were leaving in droves during bush years.

Who's educating employees? Certainly not the colleges. Coming out with a liberal arts major and expecting to find a job in this economy isn't going to cut it. If you are going to train for jobs, it needs to be job specific. You won't get that from a college course. College gives you a general knowledge, but doesn't prepare you for life in the real world.

The jobs will come back in droves as soon as we get Obama out of the White House. Until we get past this election, reduce ridiculous regulations, get rid of Obamacare and let businesses know we aren't going to tax them to death or force an idiot healthcare law on them, the economy and jobs will be spitting and sputtering.

If obama is the socialist you say he is, then he will probably make internet access free in his second term. This way you'll be able to get on the internet free of charge and complain about not being charged. It's a win win for you.

I'm telling you the problem is Obama and his agenda. You don't agree. Fine. Hopefully, Obama will be defeated in November and we will get someone in there who understands economics and what it will take to get this country back on it's feet. Romney is that person. We need to have this same discussion in about 3 1/2 years if that is the case.

If Obama gets back in, most of us won't be able to afford internet access, so we probably won't be able to have any discussion.

Actually the internet was developed by the government in the first place. It's development later heavily subsidized

This is the liberal mindset in a nutshell. You think that money that comes from the gov't must just magically appear and the people have no part in it. When you can say that a taxpayer funded project is a handout, then you truly have no clue about how our gov't finances anything.

It's just like when they say ObamaCare offers FREE exams or FREE medical benefits...

They can't grasp the concept that "FREE" means "NOT FREE"...

Seems like they'll never grasp that concept either...
