because they say they paid their student loans off, would've jumped at the chance to get relief if this debt relief had come up 10, 20, 30 or 40 years ago.

What they should notice is it's always the Democratic Party whose policies help everyday, normal people...Social Security, 40-hour work week, ability to collectively bargain, Medicare, Medicaid, Pell Grants, Infrastructure bills, Inflation Reduction and environment bills, and now student loan relief. And on and on to the many Dem passed laws I left out.

And some of them are pretty sure that college is all about getting "an MBA" to work at Goldman Sachs.



Democrats, or "progressives" are ALMOST always right, and republicans, or "conservatives: are ALMOST always wrong. About pretty much every issue throughout history. Slavery, religion, education, climate change, sex, race, economics/capitalism, women's rights, voting rights...you name it.

Twice. Once out of high school, and then almost 20 years later returning to finish a degree. The 2nd time I was a single parent raising 2 kids by myself … I’m thankful for that help.

But when you’re poor, they let you do that … grab ‘em by the Pell Grant, and take that degree .
