In this economy, even having multiple degrees isn't a guarantee against poverty.
The number of PhD recipients on food stamps and other forms of welfare more than tripled between 2007 and 2010 to 33,655, according to an Urban Institute analysis cited by the Chronicle of Higher Education. The number of master's degree holders on food stamps and other forms of welfare nearly tripled during that same time period to 293,029, according to the same analysis.

Wonder how much bottled water they could get with those stamps?

Doesn't that mean they are just lazy moochers who expect to be given everything and have no desire to work?

Some degrees are worthless.
If the dollar becomes devalued enough that we enter into a one world currency and New World Order, we'll look back on this economy in disbelief at how good we had it.

On that same note, if brown clouds started to rain down turds, that would really, really suck.

Lol. That was funny. Or getting pushed off the road by a bus into a sewer on a narrow Latin American road.

You too, I thought I was the only one to nearly suffer that. That's mission life. Your imagery of the brown clouds reminded me of a site in Bogota, Colombia called "Salta de Tequendama." It's pretty but the smell gives it away. It's a waterfall of sewer water.
