Ok boomer


And I paid mine off in the 2000s, you floppy haired pansy. So what? Georgia fans taught me to hate people. Or maybe living in ATL. Or both.

I hate the student loan subsidy crap but this is not as simple as you state.

Define "help"

With the "help" of governmental policy, the US was in a period of tremendous economic growth during the 80s and 90s. With similar "help" the cost of college has now risen far higher than it ever was back in the day. There is tons of research and inflation adjusted statistics that provide context here.

Today's problems have been building for decades...those votes came from Boomers & Gen X as the rest of us were too young to vote at the time. You can complain all you want, but we haven't been the ones in charge to this point.

I've got to be honest...I'm missing something here?

200,000 Venezuelans from 2019 caused the current state of college admin & student loan?? Wut?

We're conflating some things here. In 2010, Obama nationalized the student loan industry. College costs exploded (here is my shocked face.)

Not really anything to do with Venezuelans, they're not going to Uni.

The poor girl is dead because of open borders, no cash bail, and overall leniency of the law in face of violent crime.

But the next time Biden gives a shite about the American public will be the first.

You mean despite him working directly with unions with help out citizens by keeping the corporations from exploiting them.

Or maybe the CHIPS act which is probably one of the most pro American bills in recent memory especially jobs wise

How about how he literally introduced the strongest immigration bill in decades only for republicans to play politics and shoot it down. Trump even admitted that his reason for being against it was entirely to hurt Biden that’s it.

Republicans constantly bend over backwards for the 1% and corporations but almost never actually do shite for the average American because dear God we actually help people nope can’t do that that’s socialism

In 1924? It's 2024. We have expansive labor laws now to protect workers from exploitation.

Now you are just making shite up. That's one of the most convoluted bills ever passed by congress. It's a tech giveaway of taxpayer money that created zero jobs in the US, but perhaps quite a few abroad.

How can it "literally be the strongest" if it allows for automatic citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants, has zero funding for the border wall, and allows for a significant expansion of how many people get let in "legally?" And throws billions at Ukraine.

This is how I know you grew up without a father figure.
