Yes we need an effective third party, but it won’t happen. Both criminal parties collude to make sure this doesn’t happen, with lots of help from the MSM, ultra wealthy, and the government bureaucracy.In 1992 Ross Perot said much of this. At one point Bush, Clinton and Perot each had about 33% of the potential vote. The Perot dropped out of the race. Why? Then he came back in and got about 20% of the vote. That guaranteed Clinton a victory. He ran again in 1996 to guarantee Clinton a victory again. A third party candidate must have the chance to win. And be honest in his intentions. In 1992 he just suspended his candidacy.....then returned.Yes, Ears was the black mascot of Wall Street, yet millions of Americans somehow think he was great. As for a Trump, you’re dreaming. The lion share of the CARES Act went to the wealthy, with a small share going to the people. It’s the same old story repeated over and over. The ultra wealthy get socialism and the people get capitalism.I have no argument to that, but Trump did much better than "Mr. WallSTreet" Obama.Because I suspect a debt jubilee will fix the problem.Why do you excuse grossly failed policies that, even as liberals are demanding bail out for THEIR policy, have no desire to fix the problem... so in a few more years again... they can demand bailouts again and again.Why do you hate your fellow Americans?No, it’s robbing thieves to pay Paul.Dude... it is robbing Peter to pay Paul.Do you remember the GI Bill after WWII, and what it did for our economy? Student loan forgiveness will do much the same.JoeBlow argument is almost always ignorant. Got to stop answering him.Follow the money, it flows right into the Democratic party coffers.
Democrats, assholes that they are PREY on kids by charging them tuition the size of a f'ing home mortgage to purchase a degree. Saddling the kids with a staggering amount of student loan debt that stunts their lives financially for the next 10-20 years.
Degree prices so high no bank would approve a loan for them without that Federal government guarantee of repayment. So with the Federal government guaranteeing repayment universities are free to jack up the price of the degree, the Dem party gets it's kick back, the university sits happy on a pile of cash, the kids well they are screwed.
Again, you are confused, Wingnut.
It used to be the states subsidized the universities... Now it all comes out of tuition.
The reason why these kids spend so much on degrees is that they can't get good paying jobs without one.
The cost of tuition relative to the cost of anything else over the past 40 years has skyrocketed, a fact that utterly destroys your narrative. Be gone from my sight your argument is ignorant.
Gipper is usually decent, but in this thread... holy cow.
It’s clear tuition costs have gone up exponentially, only HC costs have gone higher. It’s a scam, just like HC costs. Time to kill it.
Do you believe there is some magic fairy hand that when all is "wrote off" the debts magically disappear??
NO.
The debt will still be there, and ONCE AGAIN the American taxpayer has bailed out liberal policies that rack up costs/debts to the sky.
IT DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
It is not even a band-aid.
They love to stand on a podium and brag about passing legislation that provides "much needed assistance to impoverished and minority students" [applause] [cheering]... when the legislation provides NO REQUIREMENTS on students to - you know - actually study and even attend the classes they signed up for.
When our corrupt government under the last several presidents bail out big corporations and big banks with enormous sums of taxpayer dollars, it’s time to help the people. After all, money grows on trees. Just ask the Fed and the US Treasury.
The Obama administration bailed out all of the banks and investment firms, including projected profits, that owned mortgages across the nation while 2 million people were kicked out of their homes. The result was a record profit/growth period for Wall Street that lasted 5 years in a row. And we all sucked on it.
Fast forward to 2020. The Covid restriction fiasco created holocaust conditions for businesses. Trump, from day one said the stimulus would INCLUDE the small guys this time. And it did. We received $$ in PPP that absolutely saved our business. And Many-many others.
The PPP was not perfect, but it was a HUGE far cry better than the greatest tax payer robbery in U.S. history also known as TARP
We live in a failed state.
