Apparently Yale and Harvard have seriously stepped down their math, history, and ethics requirements. A gander at the State of the Union reveals...

Step 1: "In two weeks, I will send you a budget that funds the war, protects the homeland, and meets important domestic needs, while limiting the growth in discretionary spending to less than 4 percent. (Applause.) This will require that Congress focus on priorities, cut wasteful spending, and be wise with the people's money. By doing so, we can cut the deficit in half over the next five years." To which I add, WTF??!!! Suddenly Mr. National Guard can halve the national debt?! Damn, but I'm in the wrong university!

Step 2: "I propose a new temporary worker program to match willing foreign workers with willing employers when no Americans can be found to fill the job. This reform will be good for our economy because employers will find needed workers in an honest and orderly system. A temporary worker program will help protect our homeland, allowing Border Patrol and law enforcement to focus on true threats to our national security." He added, "like the ignorant Americans who ask 'What?' when questioned about the Patriot Act."

Step 3: "By executive order, I have opened billions of dollars in grant money to competition that includes faith-based charities." Again, the forefathers knew what the fuck they were doing...separation of church and state was NOT just a damned fad 300 years ago!

Steps 4-1,???,???: Return this country to the Dark Ages of faith and science.
