Yeah Raygun gutted public education to the point of wanting to call ketchup a vegetable for school lunches. All to buy space lasers.

The Department of Education should be either eliminated or privatized, just like Social Security.
Everyone knows that when the government gets involved, well they just can't do anything right.
I mean, this IS a free country. We don't need no Nanny State "taking care" of us.

Still pissed about waiting too long at the Department of Motor Vehicles when I was 16.
That's why I hate big government.
Liberals, thinking everyone should be able to get an education. Idiots.
If you want an education, then go pay for it yourself.
Liberals, always wanting something for nothing, never willing to work for it.

Edit: LOL
I would get a bigger tax refund if the guvmint didn't make all those bad stupid loans.

No Fatty, just mocking your "intellect", as usual.
Can't even tell, can you?

From what I have seen of white areas, now in my third in cali in 6 months, white people are a national disgrace.
I honestly don't think lower levels of ignorance, sloth, health and self abuse can be reached.
I wonder if you'd say the same about blacks and Hispanics who are proven to under-perform compared the whites and Asians.

I, me and mine...
an ignorant country is easier to rule
it's easier to scare and fool people
nothing new under the sun
Is this a reference to America?
Don't confuse I, me, and mine with personal freedom and independence.

Lolli, there's a saying that goes like this;
If I'm not for myself, who will be? If I'm only for myself, then what am I?
I have a feeling that is the gist of your meaning.
EDIT: Also;
Actually, it's a reference to any country which downsizes education
especially in history
What it was overspent for years to no positive outcome???

I don't even understand why this is a question, much less confined to americans specifically.
Address the question for what it is, PEOPLE. Pigeon holing any specific group only ignores the actual real problem.
Therefore, the question from the OP answers itself.

"I, me, and mine..." indicates a focus only on the latter, genius. Note there is nobody else in "I, me, and mine..."
I never mentioned the notion of I, Me, or mine. I only mentioned personal freedom and responsibility.
WTF are you talking about?
EDIT:
Blue- ignorance is ignorance..
why would i give a sh#t what color ou are?
At least some minoritys have an excuse though..
No excuse for these methed out loser poor white areas and people- except ignorance and a real shity gene pool. Freaking gross man, toothless ass, bad tatoo having white trash..
So ya, I'll take a poor minority over poor white folk anyday.
It is all good though- everyone gets treated the same in reality.
It's a good thing you don't give a sh#t about color after mentioning 'white trash' repeatedly....hypocrite. Have ever seen black trash? How about brown trash?
And what "excuse" do minorities have???

And here I was deceived to think you were a logical man....
If we spend more on education we'll have smarter kids??? Tell me you jest.
