My apologies to any Mentally challenged individuals, who tend to be sweet, gentle, and hard working. These micro-aggressed little Flowers need to have their collective asses kicked, then sent to the Middle East to fight Isis..just for ***** and giggles.

I'm not sure the creators of the movie "Idiocracy" realized just how accurate it would be. Or maybe they did.
These people are so brainwashed and entitled. They have absolutely no understanding of economics or history.
Poor kid. What we've got here is an apple that has fallen too close to the tree.

Just more proof that I will hang myself when I am 60 yrs old. No way am I going to retire and live out my "golden years" with THESE folks in charge.
My Dad & Mom used to live outside Vancouver back in 2005-2009. Canada has a lot of these socialist programs too including "free college". However every parent that I met up there was paying to send their kid to Univ. Washington or Washington State, or Oregon, or somewhere else in the US. I asked them the obvious question, why pay for USA College when you have the option of "free" (heavy taxes) Canadian College. They all said Canadian College was ****---good professors don't want to teach there, have to grade on a big curve because of the intellectually college students who shouldn't really be in college, and basically since EVERYONE was getting a college degree (participation trophy) that being a college grad didn't separate you from everyone else applying for jobs.

can't be related - she comes from "an inclredibly working class family on ...
numerous forms of government assistance that is basically scraping by to get her through college".****

wait a minute ... now, she is "upper middleclass" according to her youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aygOY2nVRWw
She should be ashamed that her family has taken so much government assistance.

This is what happens when an egghead Sociology major gets on her soapbox about how the economy should work. Did anyone notice she accused the the "1%" of hoarding? I guess she thinks the greedy billionaires keep their money in a coffee can buried in the backyard.
I will add that, I would hope this girl would learn a lesson from this experience. That lesson being if you are going to go on a major television program and argue for something as outlandish as "free college for everybody" and "across the board student loan forgiveness" you better have pretty damn good idea how it should work. But, she will not learn a lesson, and there in lies the problem. Little Egghead will go home to Father Egghead and cry about how Big Bad Neal Cavuto was mean to her with all his facts and common sense. Life just ain't fair.

It started when we had an idealistic, rather than realistic, president ... namely Clinton. Now I wish we had him back ... it's gotten much worse since then. College students have always been somewhat rebellious, but not it's gotten ridiculous. Perhaps one of these days people will realize that "free" isn't free ... somebody has to pay for it. And if not for the upper 1%, the other 99% would not have a job.
- The Blaze is still around? Holy Hell, how is that possible? Have enough people really still not come to terms with Beck being a shill and fear monger? Or has that site taken on a life of its own?
- Presidential candidates don’t have specifics for their ideas and goals. They almost never give detailed plans. Why are they supported for pushing totally impossible goals either due to financial limitations or because they wouldn’t have the power to do what they want, yet this girl is lit up by Cavuto and posters here for the same thing?
- Cavuto had to have known he would school her based on scouted info from his team. Being Billy Madison in dodgeball is funny in a movie and pathetic in real life.
- What the hell is wrong with that girl and her movement to think she was prepared to go on the most conservative media outlet to ever exist and do well?
- 1 in 6 Americans currently live in poverty. 1 in 4 kids currently live in poverty.
- Half of the kids in the US will receive SNAP benefits before turning 20.
- Half of the kids in the US receive WIC benefits at birth.
- Minimum Wage is less real money in real terms than in 1968.
We are the most powerful, the wealthiest, and the most advanced nation not only on the planet, but in all of history. Yet half our kids will have received SNAP benefits and will experience food scarcity as a daily struggle before they turn 20.
I will repeat one of the above points because it has apparently been totally lost on most everyone in this thread and is shocking to me,

The girl’s goals are unrealistic, but interesting. 1% of our nation controls 35% of the nation’s wealth and 17% of the nation’s income, and these are expected to only increase as wealth begets wealth.
Any time a group uses "million" in their name, you know they're full of crazies.
"One Million Moms," for example, is also full of lunatics, just on the other side of the spectrum.

Admittedly it's a screwed up cycle, but nearly anyone who wants to work hard and do well for them selves can at a minimum have a place to sleep and eat. If you are just focused on poverty in the US, you are completely missing the boat. Owning a car puts you in the top 3% of wealthy in the world. A lot of our "poor" are top 3%'rs. There is not a place in this country where if you are willing to accept assistance you will actually starve to death. That's pretty incredible and not at all like the rest of the world. We have it pretty good and if you take whatever dung heap life has thrown at you and try to improve upon it, you probably can.
The only difference in the wealthy politicians and the poor is the level at which they have succeeded in deriving all of their sustenance from government. Of course career politicians know very well that they can't do anything useful to earn a living and they also have learned how to dish out benefits to the dependent voting populace. They end effect is a basic form of control that is exerted through fear and threat of withholding benefits and the people on the power side have no desire to see it become any different. I mean does anybody really believe that the Al's and Jesse's of the world actually WANT racial harmony? Every concession that they make that would indicate race relation improvements is effectively giving away some of their power and money. It's unfortunate...
All that being said, it is a complex problem that probably never gets solved short of the dissolution of the nation. I'm not advocating that, just noting that about 200 years is the average length of time for a nation to exist. The Roman Empire is noteworthy because of longevity, but really the Pax Romana (stable period) was only about 200 years. I'm not predicting a time or even a total unwinding and I'm not a prepper, but the kind of system overhaul required to "fix" this is not in sight...

Highlighted your most important point.
I don't claim to know how to solve it, but it gets to a point where the ultra wealthy can just sit on their money and keep generating a outrageous amounts of it, while we have a startling number of very poor people growing up with significantly fewer opportunities than you'd imagine.

Please back up your claim that your repeated point has been "totally lost on most everyone in this thread."
I don't know what my team is. I am guessing you think I am a wrapped in socialism liberal. If that is what you think my team is, you are as wrong about that as you are about thinking everyone could pull themselves up by their bootstraps if they just weren't so lazy.
this is her free college education. she got to learn something, she may not realize it yet, but thanks to the interwebs, she'll be able to revisit this moment over....and over....and over....and over for years to come.
^^^This All Day^^^
I remember watching that movie for the first time in 2006 when I was too young to have a grasp on exactly what was going on in this country. I thought it was a silly, cheap movie and didn't think much about it. After seeing it again recently, I realize just how accurate that entire concept is. Great movie
Really? Instead of anyone bringing up that point, almost all posters prior to my post had ripped on the girl for not being able to give specifics on how her goals would be accomplished. Therefore, my point had been totally lost on most everyone up to that point in the thread.
here are some gems taken from the thread before my post.
“These are great days we're living (in), bros.”
“More like the Million 'Tard March”
“These micro-aggressed little Flowers need to have their collective asses kicked, then sent to the Middle East to fight Isis..just for ***** and giggles.”
“I almost felt bad for that girl... I wonder if she even knew how stupid she looked.”
“Funny...that's exactly what I said while watching the segment.”
“I'm not sure the creators of the movie "Idiocracy" realized just how accurate it would be. Or maybe they did.”
“That was rough.”
“The worst part is her bunch elected her leader.”
“These people are so brainwashed and entitled. They have absolutely no understanding of economics or history.”
“Just more proof that I will hang myself when I am 60 yrs old. No way am I going to retire and live out my "golden years" with THESE folks in charge.”
“This is what happens when an egghead Sociology major gets on her soapbox about how the economy should work.”
“I would hope this girl would learn a lesson from this experience. That lesson being if you are going to go on a major television program and argue for something as outlandish as "free college for everybody" and "across the board student loan forgiveness" you better have pretty damn good idea how it should work.”
Nothing mentioned that points out or even hints to the absurd reality that presidential candidates promise the sky without any details on how to get it, which is the very thing this girl was ripped on for doing.
I find it laughable that a group of mostly college educated adults rip her for not being able to do what presidential candidates also couldn't do. Seriously- hold the candidates to give details on how they would accomplish their promises and sit back to enjoy the comedic contorting that would ensue.
Made it through about a minute as well.
Free college tuition and income inequality sure do make strange bedfellows, though. I think both are interesting/important problems, but I wonder how "free college" feels to the > 50% (and rising) of low income high school graduates that don't even go on to 2-year or 4-year colleges? Or even the 35% (and rising) of middle income HS grads that don't go? Or those who don't finish HS at all?
