It’s not even that expensive to go to community college for two years and then a state college for two years. You guys are completely delusional and disconnected from reality.

Even with books and the price where it’s at now, it’s about 35,000 dollars. When I went it wasn’t too much cheaper. That’s without any aid or scholarships. A Pell Grant would give you about half these days. It’s easy to get 2k from state scholarships. You’re probably looking at 18k conservatively. I got a few other scholarships/grants and only needed to pay 12k. I put 500 aside every month for two years. If you can’t find that money you are living above your means.

Most of the people looking for relief went to a nice state college for 4-8 years and used loans to live on campus. I’m more than happy to review full debt relief for disadvantaged people. I’d donate to fund that. I’m not sacrificing my son’s future to have some white kid who makes 125k annually doesn’t have to pay back the party loan he took and his parents have the ability to pay off.

All I had to do was pour concrete for two years before I went and live well within my means. Done. Paid for. The people who took the loans were lazy and chose the easy route. They wilfully ignored the obvious signs that it was predatory. Now they want to make the situation worse and have lower classes pay for their loans and compound the issue for our children. Most of them are white kids with well off parents who could afford it if they wanted to. This is a wealth transfer from the poor and middle class to wealthy white people.

If we subsidize it or pay for it with a fund generated from the people who profited from the predatory loans that would be fine. Why does average Americans need to pay for White upper middle class kids to get ahead?

The PPP loans should not have happened and should be prosecuted. You can’t be mad the bank robber made more money than you, you should catch the bank robber instead.

People who have a large amount of debt from school are much, much more likely to have higher paying jobs. Someone with a Masters in Comp Sci doesn’t need a handout paid for by the lower and middle class.

The experts say it’s a Nazi salute. There’s not a single credible person claiming it’s not. If you can’t tell what an expert is, you’re likely not intelligent enough to take part in this conversation. You must be this tall to ride the ride.

It doesn’t matter how you see it. Your perspective is irrelevant to the truth.

It’s very clearly a Nazi salute. There’s no room to misinterpret that. You didn’t even an argument beyond “I don’t think so”. No one cares what you think. We all saw him do a Nazi salute.

People being mad at you doesn’t invalidate their opinion of you. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read all day.
