Hey, I’m an old guy. I’m still learning. So does this mean that I should have bypassed a money-making career, and just been supported in a lifelong time of gittin’ edgicated?
I am sure that there is plenty more that I still don’t know, and I would like a full-time scholarship to go to a country-club college forever, surrounded by comely and willing young women, and with an endless supply of beer.

And some children, like Biden, are a complete waste of education, but we have to give it a try.
The commie circles are rubbing off on ol Joe. This is not some "stupid" statement by Biden again, this is what those circles believe and Joe is regurgitating what he is around.
Just who exactly decides "to the degree"? Why, Government of course.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need
He was merely explaining “White Man’s Burden” in a way that those “ignorant savages” could understand.
You beat me to it. Yup, Ol’Slow Joe the commie, as are all Dems.
That famous 8th-grade test from a hundred years ago was not for graduating from 8th grade, but to enter high school. If you didn't demonstrate on the test that you would benefit from a high school education, then you didn't go.
Similarly, it used to be that if your test results and grades were not good enough for college, you just didn't go. Most people didn't go to college.
A noble idea at first glance.
However for those of us familiar with Uncle Joe we know that what he is suggesting is that all children should get as much education as they desire at the public expense.
Of course as those who have been paying attention already know is that billions of dollars are wasted every year on government subsidized higher education.
Thousands upon thousands of students receiving government subsidized education drop out of college wasting government money and leaving the student most times with useless debt that they will struggle to pay or in many cases default on the loans leaving the tax payer to pick up the tab.
Just what this country needs; more useless debt “INVESTED” in failure.
wonder if the kids has any say in that, or will the government tell them how much they are educatable
In contrast to Obama’s claim that everyone should go to college...
I guess Biden is just affirming that. And to the cheers of the NAACP.
Makes you wonder.
Had Romney said the exact same phrase it would be front page show leading news, depicted as a “racist rant”!
Running it up the flagpole for your mob-boss ah Joe?
The longer man-boy obami is in power, the more we look like russia.
Slow Joe only wants to see them grow up to become clean and articulate.
Yep, it’s called, “Goal based education”. The Obama administration wants to take the theme even further and make 11th and 12th grades optional, putting students directly into union apprenticeships, without graduating or taking any test. This would allow them to put former gang bangers in jobs as apprentice law enforcement, border patrol, health care workers without any testing or a high school degree, not even a high school equivalency test.
Like the Channel 7 newscaster said last night, “You can’t make this stuff up, folks.”
Except she was talking about an I-10 accident when a semi loaded with bananas overturned, spilling bananas onto a wet highway, causing a cement truck to overturn, which made an El Paso Police car to veer into another car, broadsiding it, making it spin into another police car. When all the slipping and sliding was over, 12 cars had crashed.
But none burned, unlike Biden, who has a “crash and burn” mouth!
