http://www.thedailybeast.com/pew-most-republicans-view-higher-education-as-bad-for-america

"SNIP...........

Fifty-eight percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say colleges and universities have a negative effect on the country, according to a new Pew Research Center study. This marks a 45 percent increase from last year's study. Comparatively, 72 percent of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents say higher education has a positive impact on the country. Fifty-five percent of the general population was also found to think positively of higher education. The research center surveyed 2,504 adults across the country last month.

People were stupid enough to believe the gold-obsessed millionaire who cheated contractors and workers were on their side. And they want to STAY stupid; that's what gets me. They're PROUD of it.
