we are a society of human beings, we all start out as children and if we care about the future of society, and not just ourselves, investing in those children should be considered a civic duty,, so if those children's families fall upon hard times,, it is just as tantamount that society have a way to assist in getting them through as it is that they financially support a military,,,

not really

Government is not your Mother & father, brother or sister or family. YOU have to make your future with or with out your families help.

And it is NOT a civic duty for the taxpayers to foot the bill for you to go to college unless their is a perfectly valid reason. There are grants available, scholarships available as well. If you don't fit into one.. then do it yourself.

There is no such thing as free college.. somebody has to pay for it and in your scenario.. that is that tax payer.

And the folks in the Military EARNED the right to a education after their time has been served. They did this by putting their life on the line for their country.. And they have earned that perk from their fellow countrymen.

To recap. People make choices in their life that they have to take responsibility for.. THEY DO.. not somebody else.. or their Government.

Its called accountability and responsibility for your decisions and actions.

Can't get handouts at every turn.. someone has to pay that bill

government is my mother and father, because it is the PEOPLE,,,which includes my mother and father and all of my family

my point about military is that taxpayers maintain it,, not that it provides education,,

we dont tell them because it was THEIR choice to join, we shouldn't be required to maintain them while they are in,,,


taxpayers understand the importance of a military and they should understand the importance of our children,,,

unfortunately, many only believe its important if its THEIR children

None of what I said had to do with taxpayers sending kids to college

I am only suggesting US CITIZENS should be as invested in their AMERICAN generations (Whether they personally created them or not) as they are in their AMERICAN MILITARY

Nice try.. but that is talking from both sides of the mouth ;)

What you can " investing" I call taxpayers paying for... no matter which way you package it , it is coming out of the tax payers pocket.

Goes back to what I said... you make a decision to have them.. you foot the bill to raise them... not " Mom & Dad".. who I always thought was Uncle Sam... Lol

But enough of this.. we will never agree.. some want hand outs.. some believe in working for what they achieve... so be it.

Btw , the American people offer college aid to veterans for the service they GAVE to their country.. you know.. like defending their country.. being shot at.. stuff like that.. they earned that benefit.

Don't cheapen that.. please
