If you’re out there working and didn’t go to college, Joe Biden’s forgiving student loans, and you’re paying for them,” the Republican senator said on Fox News Sunday.
OK, so my pennies, which amount to a rounding error, are making it so someone else can get their head above water? What is the bad/scary/dictator part?? They are so afraid of education, as the second you can do critical thinking their whole fear mongering platform of lies falls apart.
I don’t eat corn either. Or drive a hybrid. Or have a child with food insecurity. I have never been impacted by a flood or hurricane. I won’t qualify for medicaid and my Social Security will be less than I have contributed. We could do this dumb line of thinking all day.
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.
