Felons will vote for Obama and the Democrats but Vets more than dislike Obama and will most likely vote Republican.
Yup. Guess how man whites are going to get this.
To libtard socialists, prison is now college.
That’s good!
Don’t we want people in prisons getting educations so they can do something other than commit crimes in the future?
The more fundamental problem is that subsidizing education has resulted in no cost-control for large institutions, and small ones prey on on the unsophisticated (e.g. places like university of phoenix, devry, or $500k helicopter training for veterans ((http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-0325-flight-hearing-20150325-story.html)).
Richard Vedder has a lot of good pieces about that. But until we fix the system, I don’t see why it’s good policy to keep felons from having economic alternatives to crime.
The Obama Doctrine: reward criminals, punish Christians. He is satanic; he is evil.
Since when does he (or the congress) care?
This is something I just found that is interesting, I just read this at Western Journalism:
Have You Heard Of The ‘Donald Trump Act’? It Just Passed And Obama’s PISSED
It’s known as H.R. 3009, but many people are calling it the ‘Donald Trump Act.’ It just passed the House with a landslide vote. Unfortunately (for Obama at least), it’s a strong anti-progressive bill, andeaning our current President is nothing short of pissed.
With a 241 to 179 vote, the bill passed with flying colors and effectively forced Obama’s intentional neglect to come to a grinding halt. According to Western Journalism, the bill would, “punish cities that refuse to enforce federal immigration law.”
More specifically, local law enforcement agencies are now forced to report they have an illegal immigrant in custody to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or else have federal law enforcement grants withheld. There’s one thing for sure you can do if you want a liberal’s attention – hit ‘em in the pocketbook.
The fact is, this one had no other choice but to pass. I mean, if politicians voted against it, they would essentially be saying it’s ok to pick and choose which laws you have to follow. Sadly, 179 actually did just that.
“I think we can all agree that any state or locality must comply with the law—and they are required to coordinate and cooperate with the federal government,” bill sponsor Rep. Duncan Hunter said in a statement. “If an arrest is made, the federal government should be notified. The fact that San Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities disagree with the politics of federal enforcement doesn’t mean they should receive a pass to subvert the law.”
He later went on to say, “If they do, there needs to be consequences—and the way we impose those consequences is by hitting them where it hurts. In the pocketbook.”
The bill was brought about after the murder of 32-year-old Kate Steinle, who was killed by an “illegal immigrant who was deported from the U.S. multiple times and convicted of several felonies.” Those who opposed the bill, such as nitwit Nancy Pelosi, quickly dubbed it the “Donald Trump Act.”
Pelosi even went so far as to try and make the issue personal by calling it a “wildly partisan, misguided bill that second-guesses the decisions of police chiefs around the country about how to best ensure public safety.” Her sad attempt didn’t work and may have actually helped it to pass.
Americans are sick of the nonsense put forth by the Obama administration and the constant excuses. As the mentality of “enough is enough” continues to spread, its no wonder why folks like Trump are on the rise, while Hillary Clinton continues to fall.
We’re sick of the lies, diversions, and misinformation brought forth by liberal politicians, and it’s beginning to show. Hopefully the nation continues in this trend, only then will we see an improvement in the state of our nation.
And, to top it off the Republicans in Congress will go along with it.
A tested vote buying strategy.
