    Licensing his name out =\= starting a business. Establishment? He is the very essence of the political bribing class. Less probable things happen all the time.

    I only have 52 years being a private businessman. Have dealt several times with government, mostly fed contracts. Dealt with unions many times, in extended clashes. . I know their strategies- and their morals. I have physically managed contracts in several foreign countries- including Honduras and Venezuela. I have clients in more than 110 nations today. But of course, that is just luck and coincidence.
    With all your massive knowledge, you can assume that I learned nothing in those 52 years, compared to you...... Just like Trump, I must have survived and thrived by accident.

    Once you know that you know everything, you stop learning because you already know. Awesome place for you to be. I'm jealous.

    And you know this, because the Russians told you- or you were their go-between?

    We understand the left hates Trump. Not our problem. Not his problem. YOUR problem. Get over it.

    I don't know why this is so hard for you. Spending money on "stuff" makes the GDP go up.

    None so blind as those who will not see.
    Everything is fake when you lose. We know, we hear it everyday.
    Trump doesn't need to beat the opposition, they are doing that job incredibly well by themselves.
    The demise of the D party will soon be inevitable, if it is not so already.
    That's not a good thing; it's a pitiful one.

    Robbing Peter to pay Paul does not. If it did, GDP growth rate would increase as we increase government spending. It hasn’t. I deal in facts and reality. You keep talking rainbows and unicorns with no evidence.

    Lol coming from the fake news crowd, this is hilarious. No stats, just twaddle that belongs on a tabloid opinion page. Twump spent his entire campaign doing just that.

    So in essence im being accused of calling everything i dislike fake despite the fact that i was very specific in what i was calling a scam university. Then im told doing what Donald Trump ran his entire campaign on doing is going to cause democrats to lose and Trump to win. Whut?

    GOP caused the recession with their crony regulation and oversight of private financial institutions. none of the democratic regulations ever said it was a great idea to give mortgages to people who were barely breathing LOL.
    all you know is garbage propaganda misinformation phony scandals and hateful character assassination without any evidence, just propaganda repeated endlessly and never retracted. Change the channel and read a newspaper not printed by Rupert Murdoch everywhere in the world LOL.

    Love the sheep but your analogy is crapola. If you knew the facts instead of garbage propaganda you would be a Democrat too. 35 years of GOP tax rates and policy and we have the worst inequality and upward mobility ever and anywhere in the modern world and the worst benefits of citizenship in the modern world. Great job

    Those are already in place. Add one too many and you tip the balance - enterprise starts to become unattractive. And those regulations now in place are a part of that balance. In order to pay for that level of policing, enterprise must be very healthy - which means free to pursue profits.

    That's how it should be - in all public schools, in all matters ideological. Religion, philosophy, politics, etc.

    Well yes, that is true. But for the moment we still have the freedom to pursue enterprise, and it's still lucrative enough to make the effort.

    You mean anyone who willingly elected to make that discretional purchase?

    And you blame the banks/realtors?

    Then you have never been through a labor or sales tax audit. I've been through 3 and 4, respectively.

    And you don't have to have actually done anything wrong for one of those to come along. It's called job validation for government workers.

    I agree, it is. But at the same time, does it make since to keep strangling it until it's no longer viable before we stop?
    Trump has cut a lot of regulations, but far from enough. The most important regulations keep things honest, help keep opportunity available to all- and promote productivity rather than stifle it. Too often the objectives of those writing regulations serve the wrong end.

    What are 'predatory' business practices?

    All businesses seek to exploit the market. Their aim is to find those in the market place most 'conditioned' to the purchase of whatever they're selling. Business is exploitation, that's why Caveat Emptor is the rule of thumb in a democracy.

    "Smart, simple and effective regulations" are in place? Not in my opinion.
    So, who wants to add more?

    Preferential teaching on politics or political matters, is exactly the same as preferential teaching on religion. When we outlawed the teaching of ideological bias (in relation to 'religion'), legally speaking that covers all ideological bias - since political ideology is just another form of 'religious' ideation.

    If a public school teacher is introducing even the tiniest suggestion of political bias into the classroom, they should be dismissed instantly. Just as teachers who introduce religious bias are subject to instant dismissal.
