You are quite welcomed but to tell you the truth, we only want liberals to be educated, we would rather keep the dumb redneck conservative just that, dumb.

Strawmen aside, I don't think a single one of you genius liberals gets the point.

The OP makes it pretty clear.

Great article from the New York Times. Even a $10/hour job as a document runner for this law firm requires a college degree now. All of this thanks to degree inflation, or shall I call it degree water down. All because liberals think everyone has the right to go to college. If one tries to even insinuate that maybe college might not be right for everyone. they throw a hissy fit.
BULLS**T!

There's nothing forcing the law firm hiring a $10/hr runner to require a degree for the position.

Meanwhile the people seeking careers in trade skills, like plumbing, woodworking, carpentry, construction, brick laying, carpentry, etc... are not discussed by Obama at all. There are no grants to owners of trade skill businesses to hire and train people, because they don't have cool names like Skip Gates, don't have deep pockets, or college basketball teams, and their students don't borrow billions of dollars in tuition loans from the government. Also, these businesses don't help move Obama's liberal agenda.

Oh look, another "it's the liberals fault" thread. No proof whatsoever to back up the claim as usual, which is not surprising. Just another attempt for someone to voice their disdain for "liberals". Would be nice if someone offered up a solution, rather than slinging mud at a group that may or may not have played a part in breaking another aspect of our society. But if we did that, we'd clearly see that both conservatives and liberals are to blame for all our problems. And we can't have that. It's a bi-partisan war, back to the mud slinging!

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm OK.

THIS liberal realizes that not everyone is college material, and I respect people who opt out of college and train for a trade instead. Up to them.

I also realize that not every job requires a degree and have been in positions before where I have recommended non-degreed candidates over degreed candidates for IT jobs.

You were saying?

Where exactly in the article does it mention liberal? Quote, please.

This has nothing to do with liberal policy. It has everything to do with the job market being a buyers market.
