Mike Rowe is my kind of guy! Great pledges on his website. Hmm. I even had a dirty job or two. A significant one was at the city street department's asphalt plant, though we did have plenty of time to drink coffee, waiting for the trucks to get back for another load!

Thanks, Jerry! I worked at a beef liver processing plant for a few weeks in Nebraska. Made a man of me!

35 years ago, we laughed at Ztipper Gorw. Now we’ve become her. DGB. Are they f’ing kidding us?!

As for student loans. I’m all for forgiveness ONLY as part of an overhauling of the education system. Forgiving them does no good if it still means new students get caught up in the same traps.

can't believe it's been so long! I have my 40th hi school this year, and will be doing a road trip in September to Farmingville. that should be good for a few stories!

Great idea to combine the issues of a broken education system and debt relief. this whole discussion completely absolves the colleges, many with billion-dollar endowments, It's their product the loans purchased, so why do the taxpayers get the check? F-that!
