Surprised you’re not blaming the police for not allowing you to rob, kill and rape people because you’re a low income loser

Yep, don’t show them the difference between the price of college then and now.

Also...

Some people don't know the difference between a 'want' and a 'need.'

How do you suppose our economy would be if people only purchased what they needed and not what they wanted?

The average cost of public university tuition is at least $10k/year. A two-year college program costs about $7k-$10k a year. How do you think the average 18-22 year old is going to come up with that kind of money?


What are they getting degrees in?

I see things being incredibly expensive also. I do remember back in the day being single, basically eating only PB&J, not turning the heat on, and basically having no furniture.

I also don’t understand people having a bunch of kids when you can’t afford your bills.

This is the best America has ever been.

Anyone suggesting that we try to make America great again must want to bring back slavery!

How much was A&M when you went in the late 70s? It’s a simple question. You graduated in 1980, right?

I didn't say that.
The topic is about 'the average person afford to live'.
If you're having trouble then you should avoid 'wants' that you can't afford.
The economy will still make tons of money on 'wants' from two groups:

a. People who can afford 'wants.'
b. Women.

Deceptive.

The average house payment is not made by the average person.

Most younger people stay at home or rent until they can afford a house.

Further, some houses are very expensive (in the millions) and distort the average. That's why most analysts would use median prices/income.

Same applies to other other stats. Not saying inflation isn't an issue, but when I see average instead of median I suspect agenda driven stats.

A&M isn’t the only college option available to people.

College costs have risen at a much greater rate than the rate of inflation driven by demand that is not paid for at the point of service and is underwritten by the government.

The average house is much larger, as well.

Demand is driving most of the parts of our economy that are in the OP.

Everyone wants to drive a $70,000 car and live in a 3400 sf house with a pool and eat out five times a week and have four streaming services and fiber internet and shop at Nordstrom.

What will the government do??!???!!

Listen bitch. May I call you c_unt?

You lost all credibility and the right to participate in this conversation with rational adults the very moment that you said all people 61 and over should be euthanized in order to make it palatable for your feminine sensibilities. You should be mandated to your cuck chair.

You want the same for your parents? Grandparents? I assume you were just exercising hyperbole to emphasize your point; however,...

It's not a good look. It generates anger and preconceptions about your character or lack thereof.

If you apologize to the board for wishing death on millions of senior citizens I will leave you alone and go find another place to play. Otherwise I will check in every now and then to see if your wife let you out of the chair.

Well when you act like a teenager, everyone is a senior citizen to you! He really does have an anger problem though and it's like a child throwing tempertantrums...would you agree?
