So let's abolish the Department of Education. Keep the voters stupid.

Educated folks tend to be employed and associate with other educated folks. Many here work in the tech field or other fields with college educated employees where you're not exposed to the illiterate but I'm telling you they are out there. I have a guy that lives on my street that is so out of touch that it's hard to talk to him.

Edit: As an example, the guy is 74 years old and was still working part-time as a stock man at a store loading shelves. He said he got laid off and said he didn't know what he was going to do for income. I said how much do you get from social security? he said nothing. What? He's never applied for it. He said he was told he wasn't eligible because he "didn't pay in to it". I told him no you can and I'd help him apply. I got with the friend across the street that is retired and he took him down to the SS office and got him signed up. He's not getting a monthly check and has an income.
