Never said college and education should not be subsidized. I stated that
for education for self enjoyment should not be. I paid a lot more back in
to the state than they ever put out for my education. Maybe if you had
actually studied something useful, you would not have had to file
bankruptcy twice. Maybe a simple economics 101?


My navy training was totally wasted in the CG. I did get some basic
ballistics concepts that applied, if we were actually ever going to
shoot that 5" gun an anything important but the fact was, the hardware
I was learning about in FT-A school was never going to show up on a
ship I would be on.

It did get me the job at IBM tho and like Bill says, they took a lot
of tax money from me and the enterprise I was supporting so it was not
a macro economic loss for the government.
