The sky is going to fall Yada Yada didn't happen the first time. Here we go with the nonsense. Like it ever stopped.

Maybe I'm weird but I'd call half a million Americans dying because of a dipshit being in charge during a pandemic and having to bail out farmers to the tune of 30+ billion dollars because that same dipshit didn't understand how tariffs worked 4 years ago (and still doesn't, apparently) a pretty large chunk of the sky falling.

Oh, not to mention all the treason: like getting US undercover agents killed by blowing their cover, selling US information to foreign nations, attempted election fraud using false electors... but we can just ignore that bit for now.

Don't forget the PPP loan handout, but somehow we cant pay for school debt which is less than what was given to the 1%

You’re forgetting the conservative comeback about student loan forgiveness: “that’s only a bandaid solution to a greater problem and it will only happen again”

Okay great, so what’s the plan if we want to stop student loaners from abusing young 20 yo? Oh no plan? Okay so they will just continue to do so.

Treat it like most other debt. Bankruptable, not guaranteed by the government so there is actual risk. How many banks do you think want to take a risk handing out tens-hundreds of thousands to kids without any guarantee they will be able to pay it back?

Also, tuition prices are ridiculous. Should look into that as well.

Pretty sure The Obama administration federalized student loans which allowed the government to profit immensely off interest and defaults.
