When Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama were asked to compare their education plans, both candidates went out of their way to say they support public education. ,,,,,
"When he says that people should borrow money from their parents to go to college, that indicates the degree to which folks, just don't have that option," Obama said.
Romney responded: "I don't have any plan to cut education funding. But I do agree with you that where you put your money says something about your priorities."
"You put $90 billion into green energy," Romney said. "I'm all for green energy but you could have hired two million teachers with that money."

When Romney said he would work with everyone in Congress, Democrats and Republicans, how I wish he had thrown in - “I wouldn’t be saying that if Congress won’t act then I will, and then proceed to govern by signing over 900 Executive Orders.”
When students pay their own we Im sure we end up with more business majors.
It all depends on the student. Told my son that if he did well in school (K-12) we would pay for the first 4 years and after that he's on his own. He did very well, graduated from college with a double major (Finance and Spanish) with honors and is now paying his way thru grad school.
How do you (zero) head off on a campaign stop this morning.....
He better steer clear of teacher groups...
Also, Saturn and Hummer were not saved, Chrysler was sold off to an Italian company, and Ford seemed to weather the downturn alright.
In addition, why should GM be treated any different than the airline industry where American Airlines and others went through bankruptcy proceedings without a government bailout?
Thank you!
