Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: The reverse class resentment on student debt/free college is disturbing. [View all]If we want to be entirely fair to our ancestors we must immediately move back into caves.
The idea that a kid with the grades, the drive and the ability to be a great doctor has to be buried under debt (unless that kid won the birth lottery) makes no sense. It also increases the cost of health care.
The idea that a amp loving (& understanding) kid has to become indentured to a for profit school to become an electrician is bizarre.
The idea that a kid with the grades, the drive and the ability to be a fantastic teacher instead becomes a stock jobber in order to shed enormous debt is a tragedy, & a very stupid one.
The idea that grandparents want their grandchildren to suffer because they did is just mind boggling.
All this debt does is delay lives, deny earnest dreams and deprive all of us of the full potential of our population.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
