Bail out banks: Good.
Bail out poor/middle-class: Bad!
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
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.
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.
The more people get educated the more people will realize he is a complete twat.
I agree with Lindsey Graham, all higher education should be paid for, including living expenses while people go to trade school.
It’s only fair. America will pay for you to become a welder, an artist, or a welder who makes art with welding.
Yes exactly!! We should stop giving billionaires massive tax breaks on their yachts and private jets give them to ordinary citizens for higher education.
The pilot fish is still circling Trump.
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.
This is dangerous to our democracy.
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.
It’s beyond dangerous to the GOP to have a successful and educated society that isn’t crumbling under debts.
“THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS THE ECONOMY IS TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH!!!”, yelled Graham.
I mean this isn’t it. But this country is toast.
This is where we’re at?
😠🫸 Millions to help poor students
😃👉 Billions in bailouts to the rich
Agreed! Paying for YOUR degrees is DANGEROUS! Paying for Billionaire’s Yachts via Warfare is AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM!
