  1. There is some truth here. Millennials have been spoiled due to the success of capitalism. They don't like the idea of working hard and becoming an adult so they push for someone like Bernie who offers the free shit. The millennials really need to grow up and start acting like an adult.

  2. +Mike D Those trade agreements have a lot of benefits in our society.

  3. +Mike D It allows jobs to be created in developing countries so they can develop. It helps them out so no radical group, such as terrorists, take over. We are a developed nation, we can't keep holding onto archaic, low skilled jobs. Those on the left want healthcare for all and college for all, to do that you need resources and workers in those fields (we lack them as is). To get those you need to push people to take on higher skilled jobs especially in the STEM fields, not allow people to settle for a factory job.

  4. +liedata011 Our K-12 education system sucks for two reasons 1. teacher unions caring more about teachers' jobs than teaching students 2. the department of ed Both of those are liberal programs. Our college system is top of the world and we have cheap colleges people can go to, so the poverty excuse is lame. I really don't get what you are saying in your last part of your comment, but I am working on a research project right now so i am not completely focused. Maybe if you can clear it up I can give a rebuttal.

  6. +liedata011 Finland's teacher unions push teachers to actually educate the children. Also their system endorses creativity as opposed to just we have with CCSS. It also helps when they have around 5 million people. I do support Finland's system and feel states should follow suit. That would mean dismantling the department of education and changing how teacher unions act. You see it goes beyond just them having public schools. Nowhere in my previous comment did I suggest dismantling public schools, I suggested that the federal government should stay out of education (and was prior to the 1980s) and our teachers should actually care about student success. The US does have the best university system in the world. We have a very diverse system that develops a strong connection between staff, students, and professors. You don't see that in other universities, at least not as strongly. You are talking about choosing a university for research, you do that for internships and graduate school. For undergrad your selection is highly diverse. There is also a reason why the US is number 1 in percent of international students in college. Some universities place restrictions on the number of international students to accept into a program. I agree poverty is an issue, but there are programs for people in poverty to get accepted into college and be able to afford it. Also college is cheap if you choose the right on. My undergrad was $10,000 a year including summer sessions. That is not expensive considering the payoff. "Schools with less money will usually have less equipment due to having less funds. Less text books, less teachers, and less teaching hours equals less education and less likely to get employed. Hence you're stuck in the same economical situation as your parents, who are likely working two low paying jobs, so can't help their kids with their education either." I agree that is an issue. I feel that can be solved by changing the teacher unions. Actually pay teachers well who are successful in teaching in low income K-12 schools. That is not how teacher unions work though in the US. "n paper this seems to be a good thing, but if you look at the fine print, or even better go to one of these countries you'll find out that these deals are holding back the economies of these countries." Those countries are developing countries with basically zero jobs. Those trade deals help them develop. That is how us as the US developed.

  7. +liedata011 In the US it is the political left, typically liberals, that support strong unions and the federal government getting more involved such as the Department of Education. Those programs are failures but when you try to bring up discussion on them you will get attacked for supposedly hating education. The US is not a democracy at the federal level. K-12 public education I feel has high benefits if implemented correctly. How we do it is abolish the Department of Education and reform teacher unions (or get rid of them all together). It comes down to that. Liberals really don't want to have a discussion on that because if you attack teacher unions they feel you are attacking teachers which is not true. If you attack the Department of Ed. they feel you are attacking education which is also not true. "Finland demands a Master's degree at minimum from people who want to be teachers," So do other school districts like the one in my hometown. "They also have reduced competition among teachers by removing private schools and virtually all exams until the age of 16. (i.e. the exact opposite of what you are proposing)" Why remove private schools? That should always be an option. Do you think that I want to abolish public schools though and push for more private schools? If that is the case then you are wrong. I support public schools, I actually work for the school district. But we still should have private schools. I agree we should push to remove testing. Testing comes from the Department of Education. Removing the Department of Ed means less testing. " This way teachers are allowed to teach without stress, and students are encouraged to enjoy learning. They also utilize an education system that is focused around the application of knowledge. i.e. instead of giving students a mathematical equation to solve, they give them a paragraph with information and ask them to reach a conclusion using what they know." I 100% agree with that. Those jobs go to developing countries. The alternative is that they have nothing. How much money they earn means nothing because they are countries of limited resources and jobs and opportunity. Those jobs allow those countries to develop and build. The alternative is keeping those jobs here but then that holds us behind. We should push people to take on better paying jobs with higher skills which increases productions. Picture those countries as our little siblings and they get the hand me downs of our jobs.

  8. Ok around 1:50 Kyle says that the Glass-Steagall repeal led to the crash. I have as serious questions, how can you be so wrong on several issues and still get viewers? The Glass-Stegall repeal did not cause the crash. This is why someone like Bernie loses, his supporters like Kyle are idiots, the lowest common denominator.

  9. +Daniel Pierik Several factors, recessions happen, how we recover is key. The bailouts is what caused the major problems we have. The pure fact is that Glass-Steagall did not pay a significant role in the crash http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/10/14/448685233/fact-check-did-glass-steagall-cause-the-2008-financial-crisis http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/aug/19/bill-clinton/bill-clinton-glass-steagall-had-nothing-do-financi/

  10. +Ottery Otter I understood him fully. I commented to Daniel Pierik on it and provided two links that discusses the issue. Recessions happen, the Glass-Steagall was, at best one of many factors that caused the crash.

  12. +Daniel Pierik Did your read the links I sent you? Recessions happen, it was the bailouts that made it worse. What I find to be funny is that when I ask for what deregulation caused the crash. Glass-Steagall is all people say when clearly the facts say the Glass-Steagall repeal was a best a small factor.

  13. +Rob McCune So when almost every economist agrees that the Glass-Steagall repeal had basically nothing to do with the crash, they are idiots as well? Even ultra liberal Elizabeth Warren admits that Glass-Steagall would have done nothing. I guess she doesn't understand as well according to you.
