The fact that you think him bragging about a dementia test is joking or not serious disturbs me, and reveals all of you guys to be totally delusional about this man.
It is pretty well accepted that he is all of those things. Especially an imbecile. Even many of his supporters know he is pretty dumb, says dumb things, lies etc.
The typical defense of this for him is "everyone says dumb things", "everyone lies", etc. You guys do everything possible to not make it about him.
You serious with this? You honestly say that in defense of a man who President of the United States and name-calls, bullies, etc every single day?
Voters care about our reputation. You will see that on November 3rd.
"I do not support defunding police"
-Joe Biden, June 10th 2020
It already has bipartisan fixes. A group of 20 Republicans and 20 Democrats got together in the House a few years go and came to an agreement on how to significantly improve Obamacare. You can't release massive legislation like that without having to make adjustments after problems are identified.
The GOP went with sabotage instead... Which is their plan for everything they don't like. They want to sabotage Social Security and Medicare as well. They are sabotaging public schools and the Post Office as we speak. Make you believe it's going broke and that it can't be fixed. Push to make it private, etc. They began sabotaging the USPS in 2006 under Bush.
You need to educate yourself on these things.
All "free college" schemes come with similar conditions. You have to be able to get into the school, you have to maintain a GPA, some have to be in certain fields, with TCC you have to do volunteer work in the community as well. Those are all implied things if you care to read about the policy and its impact.
You clearly didn't recently graduate high school or have kids recently graduating high school. Otherwise you would have heard about it.
I can't help what you aren't aware of. All I can do is make you aware when it happens to come up on this forum. I will be more than happy to fill in the gaps of what you don't know going forward.
Because thousands of area kids get the first two years of their education completely paid for, or their job training paid for EVERY YEAR. It reduces the student loan debts by students who take advantage by half, allowing them to enter the workforce and the economy and contribute more. They can buy more, buy houses, buy cars, etc. That is the nature of the economy.
Other cities have used Tulsa as a model for similar programs. Tulsa actually helped pioneer it.
90% of TCC's students and graduates stay and work in Tulsa after their education.
My company has hired programmers, database admins, mobile app designers, etc from TCC and Tulsa Tech.
Tulsa Tech and TCC being "free" absolutely contributes to the economic well-being of the city. We should be proud of it.
Free education is good for communities, its good for employers, and its good economics. I am glad we have it in Tulsa.
No, it wasn't. And Trump's handling of Covid will end up being what makes his loss in November a certainty.
