Reply #41: I'm certainly glad to see that point made, Billy Burnett. It has been unrealized almost always

in "discussions" with people unacquainted in the difference in what a dollar buys in other countries, unaware there IS a difference.
It's always easy for the propagandists to get them going when they're uninformed about this small detail!

Completely ignorant, but exploding with opinion! Great combination, isn't it? Yikes!

As for priorities, I'm sure the point you made on the logic of paying serious contributors more, you know as I do that people here lament that point over and over. Only the most regressive, limited, stunted, anal types would attempt to promote our current system as intelligently, humanely designed.

How do you imagine it would go over if a lot of US college scholarship students got their education, or others loaded up on school loans then took off for other countries for the rest of their lives? Someone would feel this country was being cheated, and tricked.

Cuba even insists the U.S. citizens who get their medical degree in Cuba, from the Cuban government, in the form of a scholarship, to do a healthy number of years working in the poor sectors, with the poor people of this country who have no medical treatment access. Sounds not only appropriate, but infinitely moral, and something a truly good person wouldn't hesitate to honor, unlike those few (percentage-wise) Cuban doctors who can be lured away from their posts when the US Cuban-Americans or their designated hitters come after them.
