The pilot fish is still circling Trump.
As someone who went to a private university and always believed it a superior choice, fuck that noise. A few states have started offering free instate tuition again, at public universities.
Let’s change course here, let’s steer this baby over to the public side……
How about
- all public funding goes to free tuition at public universities/vo-tech for everyone that wants it
- if you insist on going to private, you can do private funding. No loans for you. No grants for you
The bigger private unis already have endowments big enough to coast on indefinitely. Cornell has $9B for a student body of 25k. Harvard has a $51B trust fund for a student body of 30k. MIT has $24B across 12k students… When schools are this obscenely rich, tuition is a drop in the bucket.
Plus they get tons of donations from stupid alumni.
Bail out banks: Good.
Bail out poor/middle-class: Bad!
They make more money on average so pay more taxes.
How is that a bad thing?
Don’t accept his premise. It’s completely incorrect. Statistics show that the vast majority of people getting student loan relief are not ultra wealthy, or even mildly wealthy, or Wealthy by any definition. Wealthy people don’t need student loans. It’s overwhelmingly people of lower middle class background or currently working in lower middle class jobs will receive student loan debt relief. People either just above just at or just below the poverty line.
If you go to post secondary education you’re going to on average make more money then if you don’t.
If you make more money you’ll pay more taxes the rest of your life so it’s a cheap investment is my point.
Yes that’s nice, but I’m saying don’t concede his premise. You seem to be doing that. You can have your point while the same time acknowledging he’s lying.
You’re not understanding my point.
They are
Neither are you, then.
Because if we help them pay off those predatory loans, they’re less desperate and less likely to accept a bullshit job to avoid starvation and homelessness. Can’t have people having options, like those afforded to educated folks.
They don’t want people moving out of red states, like South Carolina. Too bad for him.

This despicable fuck is aging, and the future can’t come fast enough.
Just waiting for the day. We’re gonna have a lot of parties to throw in the next 5-10 years.
😠🫸 Millions to help poor students
😃👉 Billions in bailouts to the rich
Reminder that this is a nuanced issue. Some people got fuck all to show for their student loans and need our help. Some people got exactly what they paid for. Don’t be fooled into thinking we’re all in the same boat, or that targeted relief is too complicated. I bring this up because so many advocates for forgiveness are scaring off potential allies with an all-or-nothing mentality, allowing people like Lindsey Graham to rally against a straw man. This should be about helping people who need help - plain and simple.
I mean this isn’t it. But this country is toast.
This is where we’re at?

The contradictions of capitalism are always eating at itself. The blood machine just has to crush enough orphans for that paradox to stay quiet.
Twisting words so hard I think the man is trying to verbally make a twizzler appear in thin air.
Long as it isn’t a bowl of penunias, I suppose. Though I’m not against a whale appearing above his head.
POINT IS, the GOP is trying to say that Biden using his authority as President, and loopholes almost certainly carved by past Republicans, to bypass evil restrictions (See: Senate v. Student Loan Debt), to help others is actually the same as Trump. He’s flipping the narrative and normalizing Executive power.
What a little shit.
Progressives: “Reducing our $1.75T student debt balance by a $10B is simply too little and arriving too late to dig the current generation out of this debt crisis.”
Conservatives: “Biden’s debt forgiveness plan murders innocent little white babies.”
big fucking sigh
The more people get educated the more people will realize he is a complete twat.
This is dangerous to our democracy.
“THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS THE ECONOMY IS TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH!!!”, yelled Graham.
