What happens to the kids in school right now? Are a lot of them not borrowing the same amount of money or more too?

Fair enough. Congrats on graduating.


Thanks. It's a big jump in pay for me so making the payments won't be an issue. It's just the notion of paying such a small percentage to the principal that's frustrating. The 10K helps but having a graduate degree (which I had to have for licensure) is a nice chunk of change.

fricking crybabies.



I don't have any real debt other than our mortgage and approximately $1,000.00 on the credit card, do you realize the sheer amount of people that take out loans from banks or incur credit card debt that do not pay the principal back in full? They negotiate deals and work certain things out.

If we know what’s good for us, we’ll give every one of them who’s smart enough a college education tuition free and trade school for the others. An educated populace is a good thing.

Just remember student loan debt is a racial and gender equity issue!!!!

Only White men should have to pay back loans.

Who will pay for this noble largesse?
The same people who pay our military budget, which is a gazillion times bigger than this, ending homelessness, and ending hunger combined. “Who will pay for it” doesn’t hold water. The money’s there, being spent making sure there’s war.

so at this point are you deflecting my original question or denying completely that the Left has greatly shifted towards progressive? A bit of both?


I was trying to get clarification on your second question, but being you've abandoned it, apparently:

I believe the progressive left has shifted hard left economically and has become utterly schizophrenic on the authoritarian axis (more libertarian on things like drugs; more authoritarian on things like speech). The Democratic party as an institution has shifted moderately left economically and moderately up on the authoritarian axis.

Anything else?

Haven’t read the thread but will it apply if someone gets a loan for 10,000 dollars next month?

Yep, you were definitely raised by a woman because that's how most of them think.

Tell your mom she did a shitty job raising you.

I have great news. An educated populace is an innovative populace, and when we see a dramatic increase in GDP, we’ll want to educate them even more!
