Time For The Education Bubble To Burst

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 22:42:02 -0800

The meteoric rise in the cost of housing was fueled by easy credit and unscrupulous lenders loaning money to people who couldn't afford to pay it back. As long as prices kept going up, buying a house created instant equity allowing unqualified buyers to refinance or flip their way out of trouble. When the bubble burst, prices plummeted, the party was over.

The cost of education bubble needs to burst. Colleges cannot continue to raise rates as they are doing. They are pricing students out of the market.

If prices exceed enough people's ability to pay, perhaps this bubble will burst and the prices of an education, like houses can start coming back down to earth.

Student’s Day Of Action and the TEA Party Movement-Different But Similar

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:28:00 -0800

College students all over California took to the streets today to protest budget cuts in scenes reminiscent of the anti-war protests of the sixties. Students shut down intersections, freeways and buildings and were countered by riot police armed with pepper spray, night sticks and hand cuffs. The students are protesting fee increases caused by budget cuts that are forcing many out of school as they can not afford their education at the higher rates. Millions of Americans also took to the streets in the TEA Party movement over the last year or so and maybe there is a connection. There is a difference. The TEA Party protestors are saying they are Taxed Enough Already. The students on the other hand want taxpayers to subsidize more of their education. One wants a bigger share of the tax money collected from others while those others are saying enough already. But there is also a similarity. They are both symptoms of bad government, and bad government has sent millions of Americans into the streets protesting. These are the same Americans that rarely pay more than a passing interest in government as they go about their daily lives. A sleeping giant has awakened, it does not like what it sees and if things do not change it will reach critical mass. SHAME on you California State Legislature. Year after year you overspend with no common sense of priorities. Instead of balancing the budget you borrow to cover the shortfall. Now California is nearly bankrupt and our once proud public education system is not so proud anymore. And the Federal Government is following California right down the tidy bowl as President Obama and Congress try to force national health care down our throats when they haven’t yet dealt with Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security or the worst unemployment since the great depression. Spending in the first year of the Obama Administration has already eclipsed the entire 8 years of the Bush Administration but it isn’t working. There are four priorities California in particular should be focusing on. 1. Public Safety, 2. Infrastructure, 3. Education, 4. Caring for the truly helpless amongst us. Despite the many tempting good causes the State, under direction from well meaning but often misguided lawmakers takes on, there has to be a limit. We would recognize good government if we had it. It would focus on the four priorities. Budgets would be balanced, there would be no long term debt and there would be a rainy day contingency fund for difficult times such as these. Taxes would be lower empowering growth and job creation. Businesses, especially small ones would not be crippled by staggering regulations, taxes and fees. Our schools would be among the best in the country as they used to be turning out the best and brightest to help tackle our problems. Yes a sleeping giant is awakening. What form will its anger take? Lets hope the politicians get the message at the ballot box. Join me in the next election and vote against every incumbent in either party. It is time to send these self serving moneyhaulics packing. Let’s throw the bums out!

Jerry Brown Running For Governor, Again

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 07:49:02 -0800

Wow, I cannot believe Jerry Brown (left side of photo) wants to be Governor again. I remember him being Governor last time. His signature blue Plymouth, instead of a fancy state issued limo gave him a reputation as a tight wad, but I must admit I do not remember much about how he governed.

One thing I do remember was his faulty logic in trying to force people out of their cars by building fewer roads. They sold off valuable rights of way losing the ability of the State to build the roads later.

I am in the mood to vote against any incumbents this election cycle, but I think I will at least hear what he has to say. We could use a few tight wads in government these days.

Canada Wins Hockey Gold With Storybook Finish

Canada Wins Hockey Gold With Storybook Finish:

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Sidney Crosby sized up goalie Ryan Miller in overtime and delivered hockey gold to a nation that not only craved it, but demanded it, too.

Silver wouldn’t satisfy. Not in this sport and not in these Olympics.

Canada needed a pick-me-up to call the past 17 days a success. With a wrist shot Miller wasn’t expecting, Crosby wiped away a whole lot of hurt. The scoreboard read Canada 3, USA 2. A happy — yet relieved country — rejoiced Sunday.

Joke: Old Lady In Court

Defense Attorney:

Will you please state your age?

Little Old Lady:

I am 94 years old.

Defense Attorney:

Will you tell us, in your own words, what happened the night of April 1st?

Little Old Lady:

There I was, sitting there in my swing on my front porch on a warm spring evening, when a young man comes creeping up on the porch and sat down beside me.

Defense Attorney:

Did you know him?

Little Old Lady:

No, but he sure was friendly.

Defense Attorney:

What happened after he sat down?

Little Old Lady:

He started to rub my thigh.

Defense Attorney:

Did you stop him?

Little Old Lady:

No, I didn’t stop him.

Defense Attorney:

Why not?

Little Old Lady:

It felt good. Nobody had done that since my Albert died some 30 years ago.

Defense Attorney:

What happened next?

Little Old Lady:

He began to rub my breasts.

Defense Attorney:

Did you stop him then?

Little Old Lady:

No, I did not stop him..

Defense Attorney:

Why not?

Little Old Lady:

His rubbing made me feel all alive and excited. I haven’t felt that good in years!

Defense Attorney:

What happened next?

Little Old Lady:

Well, by then, I was feeling so ‘spicy’ that I just laid down and told him

‘Take me, young man. Take me now!’

Defense Attorney:

Did he take you?

Little Old Lady:

Hell, no! He just yelled, ‘April Fool!’ And that’s when I shot him, the little bastard

Joke: Little Kids And Lifesavers

The Candy With The Little Hole
This should make you smile.
You have to love little kids.

A Teacher Gave the kids in the classroom Fruit Flavored Lifesavers.

The children began to identify the flavors by their color:

Red…………………Cherry
Yellow…………….Lemon
Green……………….Lime
Orange …………..Orange

Finally the teacher gave them all HONEY lifesavers. None of the children could identify the taste.

The teacher said, ‘I will give you all a clue. It’s what your mother may sometimes call your father.’

One little girl looked up in horror, spit her lifesaver out and yelled, ‘Oh my God! They’re ass-holes!

The teacher had to leave the room!

Wackin' Ur Doodle In Front Of Ur PC? U May Not Be Alone

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:01:00 -0800

The scandal surrounding kids being spied on at home via webcams in laptops provided by schools extends further than just schoolchildren – four years ago Google admitted that it was implementing similar invasive surveillance technologies that would target all Americans. A school district in Philadelphia faces a class action lawsuit after it allegedly issued laptop computers to 1,800 students across two high schools and then used concealed cameras within the machines to spy on students and their parents without their knowledge or consent……

…….In 2006, Google announced that they would use in-built microphones to listen in on user’s background noise, be it television, music or radio – and then direct advertising at them based on their preferences. “The idea is to use the existing PC microphone to listen to whatever is heard in the background, be it music, your phone going off or the TV turned down. The PC then identifies it, using fingerprinting, and then shows you relevant content, whether that’s adverts or search results, or a chat room on the subject,” reported the Register. Hundreds of millions of Internet-active Americans will all be potential targets for secret surveillance and the subsequent sell-off of all their information to unscrupulous data mining corporations and government agencies. The report cites the inevitability that the use and abuse of this technology will eventually be taken over by the state.
