Dennis Prokott commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"I didn't say you have to follow the market. I'm suggesting you should base a decision on facts.
Great, you brought up 2 facts
1 unemployment just went up
Correct, it went from 7.8 to 7.9. The US also just created 171,000 jobs…"
samuel blanton commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"I'm sorry to say,most of the people in this country don't follow the market. Are you saying people like you are the only ones qualified to vote? Iv'e only heard talking points from you. The unemployment rate just went up. Are you…"
Dennis Prokott commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"So I acknowledge that this is snarky, but its a pet peeve of mine and I want to hear your response. Rather than relying on your gut feeling, think about looking at facts. People like to justify doing what feels good by saying "I…"
samuel blanton commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"Just my 401K. I don't make enough to gamble on the market."
Dennis Prokott commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"One significant problem I have with Democrats is in many states teachers are overpaid, but I don't think its a federal issue. I want the federal government to help college students more, but that's not going to happen.
It sounds like…"
samuel blanton commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"I think that some teachers get paid too much and I feel some don't get paid close to enough. I think their pay should reflect their performance, not their seniority. Their job should depend on it also. I remember when I was a kid, teachers went…"
Dennis Prokott commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"I'm in Illinois. I'm not familiar with the details, but its not as much of a factor here anymore.
Do you agree with the Republican view that teachers are overpaid and their pensions are too generous?"
samuel blanton commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"My wife is one also. And it is alive and well. or should I say, not so well. When teachers are just teaching how to take tests, children miss out on alot.
I think it's more then just getting rid of the "bad" teachers". They also…"
Dennis Prokott commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"My girlfriend is a teacher. We haven't talked about this a lot, but I thought we already had gotten rid of no child left behind. Maybe it varies by state.
So, say 10% of teachers are incompetent and should be fired. If they…"
samuel blanton commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"First of all, get rid of "no child left behind". I also feel he should do more to take the power away from teacher and school employee unions. I work in education and I see first hand every day the negative impact these things have…"
Dennis Prokott commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"What do you think Obama should have done to improve the schools?"
samuel blanton commented on Dennis Prokott's blog post PBS"I agree with I think we are still on our way down. I think the media and the white house like to paint a pretty picture. But like I said, around here, people are still losing jobs and our schools are still failing. The T.V. tries to tell me things…"

The argument about PBS funding is different than Penn framed. Romney wants to cut taxes 500 billion per year. Everyone asks him how will he balance the budget. His answer is to cut 20 million per year from PBS. This offsets 0.004% of his tax cuts.

I wanted to support Penn's latest promotion on Celebrity Apprentice, and went out an purchased 10 pints of Vanilla & Chocolate Magic Swirtle ice cream. I gave 9 of them away, but kept one for myself.
Before I continue, you have to know that I have spent the last four months watching everything that has been put into my system, and have lost 54 pounds. A few spoonfuls of Penn's new flavor was going to be a small treat.
Holy Diarysweetgoodness!! I wasn't expecting it to…
