Michelle Obama makes a great point in her speech

Our education system blows, particularly in terms of roi. Union mentality has seeped throughout mandated education realm. Anywhere schools have to compete to be funded, we're top of the charts. Everywhere else, we continue to spend more but get worse.

Ryans dad passed away when Paul was 16.
Paul received social security survivor benefits until he was 18.

How anyone can relate less than 2 years of SS as helping Paul get to where he is today is..... very imaginative.

"You didnt build it" mentality.

yea, I said it and I believe it. I live in Memphis and I see it everyday, fully capable people, driving escalades and using EBTs to get their free sh**. People who don't think that that is a regular occurence need to get their heads out of the clouds. If you want to give away your hard earned money to these wasteful programs than by all means, write them a check but don't force other people to do so with gov't force, that is called theft.

I just moved from Memphis and I agree with you. Saw mothers in the WIC office who had expensive purses and drove escalades. It's a joke.
