		<description>I&#039;m going to be big this morning and give us all something to think about. When God was taken out of the schools, guns went in, disorder went in.
When I went to school, we pledged to the flag and had a prayer every single morning. The drop out rate was high then but not nearly as high as now.
When this money runs out, and the economy is still busted up because Fidelity is handling the US Treasury not the government, 
we will all be living in third world conditions and drop out rates won&#039;t matter one iota.
Haven&#039;t ya&#039;ll noticed everyone&#039;s standard of living has been affected.
Well that in turn will affect drop out rates even more.
No money, no school
no school MORE CRIME</description>
