The Duggars and CollegePlus

[Jonathan Whatley]

Strange isn't it how people don't care if we cut the funding for our troops education so that we can supply the Muslims with aircraft, that if one of them malfunctions, we would be under attack... but people make a big deal about those who choose to pay 3k for a faster, and better method of getting a college degree...

Are you seriously advancing this as an argument against the criticism by sanantone and others that CollegePlus is overpriced? The fact that some people in Washington made these extraordinarily unrelated federal budget decisions? I'm pretty sure sanantone is not behind multi-billion-dollar national security decisions, yet.

I guess you're referring to the Pentagon's sequester suspension of military Tuition Assistance. Congress very quickly ordered them to reverse it, and Tuition Assistance is now restored in all branches of the military. I'm not sure about the Coast Guard, which is funded through DHS.

The article you posted was from '12? Seriously? Couldn't you find something from this year?

I thought seven months ago wasn't very long for a citation about annual funding envelopes, but okay. Here's Reuters yesterday: "The United States, which gives Egypt $1.3 billion in military aid each year, has grown more critical of Mursi of late, listing a lack of political inclusivity as a concern." It sounds like the number is steady, while the U.S. government is also asserting itself. (Egypt's Mursi brings more Islamists into cabinet, Tom Perry and Yasmine Saleh, Reuters, May 7, 2013).

You guys wouldn't take serious my source...

So you're attacking us for being closed-minded based on nothing we've said or done, but what you tell us we'd say. What's wrong with this picture?
