The predominantly ludicrous lawmaker from Georgia did Biden a solid this weekend, telling Republicans the Democratic president is fiendishly attempting to make people's lives better.

Student loan debt balooning is caused by too easy access to loans coupled with too little state funding

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And of course you are not supportive of forgiveness for it. Evidently you are going to continue to evade this issue.

I support forgiveness for student loans based roughly on income level, sure. I don't think we should be subsidizing wealthy kids more than we already do.

It should go, basically in order:

  • college dropouts
  • government employees (teachers, social workers etc)
  • others with similar income level and undergrad degrees

Then finally, mostly unforgiven

  • post-grad degrees
  • wealthy families

I'm very much in favor of progressive tax and social benefits.

I'm sorry, are you under the opinion that Democrats don't push for student loan forgiveness? Biden literally took it to the Supreme Court lmao.

Not a neoliberal if you support loan forgiveness. Which you only sorta do so guess you are only sorta one.

Did you like skip my earlier post or what's up

Admit that your bff voted for the Iraq war.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Sure. Who cares? Her constituents wanted it and I support doing what constituents want.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

First off no. The war was massively unpopular and she was from blue state ny.

Secondly she knew it was all lies, illegal, a crime against humanity, and killed massive amounts of people.

Democracy is not an excuse for crimes against humanity.

Lol it's so cute to see people born after 9/11 try to talk about history I lived through.

Wherever you get your info from is not base on reality. Dont be Trumpy. Live in the real world.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Agism? Real nice. But like most neoliberals what you say and what the truth is are fairly far apart. I was born before 9-11. I am old enough to remember it. I am old enough to have gone to protests against the Iraq War.

I am also old enough to know that the average of the entire US is not the average of NY state. Stick to lying about economics.

Lmao can't quite admit you're full of shit

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
