In reply to the discussion: What about student loans constitutes a "crisis"? [View all]liberalmuse
(18,881 posts)Borrowing $5k (if you are lucky) because you are poor, then owing 20 times that amount or more because for poor people in this country, higher education is treated like a luxury, not a right. Look where that has gotten us. A nation led by the nose by Fox News.
Money for education is treated like a jumbo loan, packaged and repackaged and sold to the highest bidder until the generations that were unfortunate enough to be born after the most selfish generation are saddled with a student loan mortgage or two. I cant even express how repulsive this is.
The worst kind of people see nothing wrong with robbing the futures of their children and grandchildren so they can look down their noses at them and scold them for not being as wise as them, meanwhile Pulling up the ladder that helped them get where they are because generations before them sacrificed so they could have it better than anyone before them. Not only that, then squander And piss it all away so theres nothing left, and then they disparage heir children and grandchildren for wanting to educate themselves, and god forbid, breathe clean air.
Ive been saying this for decades, Fuck my generation.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
