Anderson,
What do you think about the government taking most of the tuition money(almost 43%) going to two year colleges? I had no other option but to head back to school! Right now, My husband and I are both in school, and I feel that these "community colleges" provide just as significant and effective education as the four year college!
Sincerely,
Brooke

My comment is in regard to the discussion about the recession recovery, I believe that many Americans, including myself are going to change the way we live, and shopping will no longer be the national sport.In today's economy, you do not know if you will have a job tomorrow-I know that thanks to Home Depot closing the Expo Design Centers for a tax loss I don't. The credit card companies no longer want good customers who pay bills on time- they want customers who are in trouble so they can make money off of their problems. I have literally let store credit cards go into collection and settled on amounts to get out from under manufactured fees. My sister and I have a new motto-no money no shoppie!

Thursday night I listened to different speakers on the Anderson show ans was appalled with the rudeness he treated Cheney's daughter–not giving her a chance to speak while he kept butting in on her. Other speakers got full time. What gives here? Do you hate Republicans so much that you cant even be polite.????? I felt sorry for her and wonderd how she could be so polite. think about it.

I heard the rudeness also with Cheney's daughter....it's a pattern with the creepy radical left....American Taxpayers protesting taxes and debt also received heinous attacks from CNN.

@Betty,I don't the AC hates republicans but if you have an popular views on tv they will flush you...Go AC!!

I like Frank.

Oh...regarding the article and your point is....people helping people...as an American of Mexican descent...I just don't get the racial spin that permeates through some of these articles...who cares what color the recipient of a charitable act is...it was just a kind act.

Anderson was the one who was being polite. I wondered why the Hell she was on the show. Why don't she and her father go away. No one is interested in what they have to say. Cheney is an arrogant, racist and needs to fade into the wood work.

The point of it all is how unlikely any of that is to happen given the circumstances. What circumstances you ask? unlikely people with means are afforded equal footing in top notch education. unlikely people with money to leave/make opportunities for others. Unlikely someone who couldn't afford to finish school would succeed beyond wildest expectations. Unlikely given the history someone could rise to the ranks of university president. All this is very possible but on the day to day unlikely. That is part of what makes this "charitable act" so special.

People help people on their own. It should not be up to the government to mandate their choice of charity.

Making money from Jaegermeister and Grey Goose Vodka is probably not the most honorable way to make money. On the other hand, providing education to people who cannot afford it is probably one of the greatest legacies a person could leave.

Frank's story is rare and while the effort is admirable, the opportunities given to the less fortunate will still be a lot more rare than for those who are rich.
