Like ALL Q-publican “cartoonists”, Goodwyn hates it when people get educated and he doesn’t make a profit off it. Of course he also hates science and technology.
I understand most of Goodwyn’s LIEs, but this one doesn’t even make any sense.
Trump Disciples were/are elated when the Big Banks were bailed out.
And they love all tax preferential treatment of billionaires and patriotic multinational corporations, especially Oil and Pharma. But if someone gets 10k or 20k in loans forgiven, it’s an intolerable burden on taxpayers.
The kid on the left got a lot more than a T-shirt. He got an education that will serve him for the rest of his life. If his parents were wealthy enough to pay for it without his having to take out usurious student loans, what is he complaining about?
A four-year college degree should be available to anyone who wants it and will work for it. We are not an agrarian society or an assembly line society anymore.
Don’t we all benefit by having at least SOME well educated folks around? I don’t mind paying. I like having well trained firefighters nearby, too. I’ll chip in for that. Oh, and doctors! I don’t think about them until I need them, but what’s a couple of more bucks? Granted most undergrads don’t know where they’re going in life, but I’ll gamble the equivalent of a couple of lottery tickets in the hope that they stick it out, get a good education, and give back to society. I’m thinking they will…
The cost of tuition at UC Santa Cruz is $14,000 (in state). Living costs would bring that up to around $28,000. The cost of the new aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford is $13 billion. That money would fund nearly half a million college students tuition and living costs for a year or 125,000 students four years.
Aaron Rodgers is paid $50 million to throw a football. Max Scherzer is paid $41,000,000 to pitch. Seph Curry gets $48 million because he’s so darned good. I could do the math to figure out how many college students that would pay for, but you get the point.
We have so many people who make outrageous salaries, we throw money at our military (which goes into the pockets of the CEOs and stockholders of Boeing, McDonald Douglas, and all those other military contractors), while people go hungry and our children can’t afford to go to college. We don’t have a tuition problem, we have a priorities problem.
My wife went back to work so that my children would not end up with student loan debt, but I have zero problem with this modest debt cancellation. – The GOP gave corporations over $1 trillion that was used solely to buyback stock and increase bonuses, $300 billion to help a few million former college students is cheap and much more beneficial to society.
My very liberal democratic wife made a comment last night while watching the news about the 10k forgiveness of school loans. “That’s just wrong” she said.
@Fflashbang- You can say that again! And student loan debt has been a problem for decades! It’s designed to keep grads in the hole for the rest of their lives!
Al, if I have to pay for a failed authoritarian’s golf trips, a war declared against the wrong country, and a military so over funded that they can lose pallets of cash then I am ABSOLUTELY good with paying a small amount more to help people in this country who are hurting. If it bothers you that people who want an education are getting something you didn’t…..BONUS.
Do other countries give huge tax cuts and forgive loans they give to rich people, while taxing their middle class and making higher education so expensive they have to take out loans if they want to further themselves? America is for the rich. Screw the middle class and the poor.

Uncle Al thinks the taxpayers should only help billionaires and corporations, instead of everyday people struggling to pay for their education loans.

Gop giving billions to rich people was a “stimulus”, but paying off student debt is a “hand out” according to the right wing thieves.

What about all those PPP loans rich people got that were forgiven. It’s only bad when you forgive loans for the middle class and the poor?
