Being on FB (yeah I know), and being exposed to friends of friends has helped me discover this. I'm stunned out how many-- supposedly educated young adults-- are out there ready to stand in the bread line. I knew this reality existed, but I fear it's bigger than I previously thought.
Not only this, you still have that group of people who work for a living, can't manage their finances, and will still vote for this clown thinking they are going to get something in return.
There's too many free loaders, and now the free loaders are "educated".
It is good to put the word “educated” in quotes now, the real problem is not educated idiots, that is a contradiction in terms, the real problem is idiots who have degrees but little or no actual education. The author alludes to this when he mentions that Americans of 1865 understood the Gettysburg address, were more well-spoken and had a richer vocabulary than modern day Americans. Listen closely to what passes for English among “journalists” on television. Most could not pass a fifth grade English test from the nineteen fifties. Even those who major in history at today’s universities know less about real history than the average twelve year old son of a sharecropper knew fifty years ago.
