Tell that to all the rich fat cats, like Trump, who run their businesses into debt and then declare bankruptcy.

Post secondary education should only be for the wealthy.

In the meantime, lets complain about low wage workers asking for a living wage, berating them for not furthering their prospects as well as bitch about foreigners with advanced degrees coming to the United States and taking jobs that Americans are not filling because they cannot afford the education.

The federal government's record on "student loan cancellation" is less than stellar. Across the board, many who meet the stated qualifications for these programs don't receive the benefits. Quelle surprise!

Ah, the Regressive take on "outcomes." As if results don't actually make a difference! The Declaration of Independence states all men are created equal - that's more than enough, right? Who cares if some were enslaved, and many (including all women, of course) couldn't vote - the simple statement was more than enough!

THE POEE MYSTEREE OATHThe Initiate swears the following:FLYING BABY SHIT!!!!!

(Brothers of the Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria sect may wish to substitute the German:

FLIEGENDE KINDERSCHEISSE!

or perhaps

WIECZNY KWIAT WTADZA!!!!! which is Ewige Blumenkraft in Polish.)

THE RECENT EXPOSE THAT MR. MOMOMOTO, FAMOUS JAPANESE WHO CAN SWALLOW HIS NOSE, CANNOT SWALLOW HIS NOSE BUT HIS BROTHER CAN, HAS BEEN EXPOSED! IT IS MR. MOMOMOTO WHO CAN SWALLOW HIS NOSE. HE SWALLOWED HIS BROTHER IN THE SUMMER OF '44.

Corrections to last week's copy: Johnny Sample is offensive cornerback for the New York Jets, not fullback as stated. Bobby Tolan's name is not Randy, but mud. All power to the people, and ban the fucking bomb.

Leonard Leo's Theocratic Federalist Society Stooges will ignore any and all arguments on student loan debt. After all, this would cut into the Dutch Calvinist Betsey DeVos' profiteering via the shackles of unfettered capitalism and loan predation.

I can't see what the troll said, but I can venture to guess based on your reply. WIth the trolls, everything is black or white in their binary authoritarian world. Am I upset that we paid our student loan debt off but others will get relief? Nope. Life isn't always fair. Furthermore, if (usually) younger people are saddled with this shit, they will never be able to afford to buy a house, live the American dream, etc. This capitalism shit needs a complete overhaul, especially the likes of Betsey DeVos, preying and profiteering on student loan debt.

Basic higher education (2 year degree or trade school) should be free. Anything beyond that, yes, people can pay for. But the higher education debt should also be forgiven if someone goes into the lower paid non-profit/public service sector (I'm thinking teaching, doctors/nurses at county clinics, etc.) Just my feelings here.

The supreme court granting cert is a political act. No surprise there. I wonder who penned it. Also too, the supreme court has recently shown that standing means absolutely nothing. Also also too, all the clerks at the supreme court know that alito loves it when monkeys fly out his butt because he smokes a cigarette afterward.

Who was that guy who asked a decent question just now? Maybe Roberts. I am unreasonably fascinated by this case and can't turn off the arguments.

If "they did it in secret" were a drinking game, I'd be intoxicated.

It is in this house:) Even BOOF just said in order to sue, you had to be eligible in the first damn place, which these plaintiffs were not.

"All sorts of evidence." Campaign. Scholars have written about this. Great arguments, Skippy. Wonder if he put that shit in his brief, which I have not read.He loves that footnote in Luhan.
