Yeah. We are in debt. Where does that debt come from? It comes from businesses writing legislation in board rooms that call for their products, then using lobbyists and bribery to get that legislation through Congress.

Money isn't a solution. Just like guns don't murder people.
Money lies there until you do something with it; it's that action that may or may not be the solution. The cash is only the enabler.
Much like the gun only lays there until someone picks it up with intent. The tool enables but has no action in and of itself.
We spend more money on education than any other developed nation and are realizing diminishing returns and yet you think more money fixes that?! No. It doesn't and hasn't so far because money isn't a solution.
So yes, we have a corruption problem that needs to be dealt with. And we also have an exploitative capitalist system with insurance, pharma, banking, etc that needs to be dealt with.

Teachers get paid similar or more to teach at these schools. So that comment is a fail.
So you want them to have free time and do whatever they want and not have to take a standardized test and somehow that will make them feel HS is worthwhile to go to.
Medics are not RN's. If you think you can learn everything in nursing school in 9 months you are hilariously wrong. So stupidly wrong it's not even funny. Me and my wife are both nurses, I scored top 3 percent of the country on the tests, I did a 16 month accelerated program where you needed 2+ years of credits done to even apply. Those 16 months of non stop learning doesn't even get you to the point you can work without killing people, it gets you to the point you know enough to spend 3-6 months under someone else and not kill someone because they are watching.
Your statement is just ... wow.

Uh, Ryan is retired and Cruz, Rubio, and Paul are US Senators. All legislation which raises revenue (such as the Green New Deal) must, by law, originate within the House of Representatives.

You don't need physics. You will use your micro, you will use your history. Your assessment of what the job is is completely wrong. Nurses do constant assessments and are the first ones to find problems usually. If the nurses you work with only put in IV's and put meds in a cup they sucked. It's the reason for the push away from ADN to BSM. I never once saw a medic working as an RN at the VA here. The VA basic requirement is you MUST have graduated from a school of professional nursing approved by the appropriate State-accrediting agency and accredited by one of the following accrediting bodies at the time the program was completed by the applicant.
Seriously, you just have no idea what the nurses role is, the things you listed are tasks, and are meaningless.
Now back to topic, teachers already get paid the same or MORE to work at these schools. So why do you think they only have crappy teachers because of pay?

Ah. My bad. Any good legislation, that truly helps the people from your Republican heroes lately? Anything that both sides could get behind, that you really get excited about?
