    or make all student loans (or at least, the private ones) dischargable under chapter 7 bankruptcy.

    When that happens, bank raise the bar for getting the loan, less people getting them, less funds for tuition, less people go to college to feed those overpaid administrators, tuition price will come down due to market force.

    A little more specific.

    Since the enactment of the federal reserve act of 1913 the USA has signed away its financial (and ultimately, political) soverignity to a group of private indivduals made up of a certain ethnicity/race.

    Sleep Deprivation Is Linked With Obesity

    Try to get telecommuting rights, It gives you more time to recharge yourself and stay fit instead of wasting all the time on commuting (if bike is not an option, such as living beyond 15 miles).

    That is, unless you work for a certain company with a dumb blonde CEO that recently banned telecommuting.

    more importantly, unionize so you can make your time on employer's dime. That's the new American way.

  9. China WELCOMES the US military to visit on North Korea Kills Phone Line, 1953 Armistice; Kim Jong Un's Funds Found In China · · Score: 1

    There are no reasons for China to fear US military presence across the Yalu/Tumen River. Heck, they even want them to come over, not to invade, but to spend some Benjamins on the hookers.

    Look up " US Navy port visits China" and there are dozens since the turn of the century, most notably Hong Kong and Macau.

  13. Sequester defund DOJ on US Attorney General Defends Handling of Aaron Swartz Case · · Score: 2

    Defund DOJ until this thug resigns for both Fast & Furious and Aaron Swartz. This lawless administration only understands money & force, because that is how they do things.

  14. We need another 9/11 moment on North Korea Threatens US With Preemptive Nuclear Strike · · Score: 0

    We will need to wait until they USE one. Preferably a successful attack.

    This administration will certainly try to engineer one to boost their popularity and approval ratings. It is one step closer to strongman Obama's coronation.

    In Hong Kong, you have to actually line up to use a HSBC ATM, because most people uses HSBC for getting their payroll, and the goverment uses them for revenue collection (tax) and rebates. HSBC is pretty much the de facto central bank, and nobody wants to admit it. The Monetary Authority of Hong Kong does not perform central bank functions other than storing foreign reserves, and to defend the exchange rate of 1USD=7.8HKD.

    There are a lot of people moving out of the U.S. so their kids start in a different educational system.

    Of course, there is the old school defense of "this isn't me, somebody using my identity!"

    Therefore we need something like GMI that will allow you to put food on the table or fulfill your parental responsibilities WITHOUT worrying what other people think or kissing asses.
