This enables us to blame the workers -- lazy louts, they didn't go to college -- instead of blaming a system that does not provide enough decent jobs and makes it difficult for workers to organize to defend themselves. <br /><br />Education is shortchanged, because the right does not believe in public anything. <br /><br />If working people were resourceful and hard working and able, they would be able to overcome poor education -- perhaps by getting into private schools -- and thereby rise into the upper middle class, which is the only part of the middle class that seems likely to survive. <br /><br />The sad part if all the "we are the 99%" stories about kids who took on large debt, from which they can never escape, and then found out that there were no jobs. They had been told lies. <br /><br />I suspect it makes more sense to look at the system, rather than listen to its defenders. And you should never, ever do anything based on advice from the defenders.Eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352807916271183801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-13995282382296264162011-11-04T02:45:40.672-04:002011-11-04T02:45:40.672-04:00That's, um, kind of broad and unenlightening. ...That's, um, kind of broad and unenlightening. <br /><br />But, I'll bite. Who is the right-wing who has blamed skill deficiencies (presumably the shortage of Americans with science and math skills), and what have they done to prevent students from acquiring such skills?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
