The GOP practices reverse Robin Hood

The Republican party wants you to know that the student loan cancelation will cost $400 billion over the next 30 years.

What @GOP don't want you to know is their tax policies from just January 2017 - January 2021 cost America $2 trillion in 1 year and $7.5 trillion in 4 years.

The Supreme Court is a Gen Z/Millennial voter registration and turnout machine right now for the Democratic Party in 2024.

The perfect midterm platform...for Democrats!

GOP: hey so we’ve already alienated women and people of color; we blocked $35 insulin caps, and we’re still supporting the biggest internal threat to national security our country has ever seen — who else should we piss off before the midterms? https://t.co/uPRw1P40wC

Let's face it--republicans are selfish assholes

Took saintly wife @kellster83 ~15 years to pay off her loans. She would’ve benefitted enormously from a forgiveness program. And she’s…really happy for people getting help now. Because she’s not aggrieved or bitter, and wouldn’t want others to be, even if it suited her politics. https://t.co/FAu8Vdcjxu

They only do both sides when it disparages Democrats

Media please do your homework. Esp Sunday shows. If you’re gonna “both sides” Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan, then you must ask guests about PPP loans (did you or anyone in your family get one? was it forgiven?); Farmers’ bailout, auto bailout did you oppose them?

Because republican hypocrisy cannot be highlighted enough

Trump gave more than 25 times as much money in bailouts to farmers as Biden is giving in student loan forgiveness—which was only necessary because of his idiotic tariffs and trade wars with China—and Republicans in Congress not only had no problem with it, they approved even more pic.twitter.com/J0emxQi2yP

And how much money did you make on Trump's tax cuts, you pathetic twerp?

Sad to see what’s being done to bribe the voters. Biden's student loan forgiveness plan may win Democrats some votes, but it fuels inflation, foots taxpayers with other people’s financial obligations, is unfair to those who paid their own way & creates irresponsible expectations.

Biden bitch slaps the press and the rich--my man!

REPORTER: Is this unfair to people who paid their student loans or chose not to take out loans?

BIDEN: Is it fair to people who, in fact, do not own multi-billion-dollar businesses if they see one of these guys getting all the tax breaks? Is that fair? What do you think? pic.twitter.com/HA9LzLBMSC

Total so far is actually over $52 billion

Anyone pearl-clutching today about the “outrage” of Biden’s modest loan repayment plan must be compelled to explain their silence when Trump foolishly started a trade war w/China & when it failed, announced a $16 BILLION BAILOUT to farmers. Actual cash. https://t.co/W4DbOQdmRS

The little man getting a piece of the pie

if you have a problem with the student loan cancellation because you already paid off your loans, just pretend its a tax cut for the rich that you also never got but mysteriously didn't complain about.

Trust me when I say that if student loan cancellation really was a benefit to the wealthiest Americans it would’ve already been done.

Paid $4500 for my college education

The generation that could buy a house with a part time job and went to college for $5K sure likes to tell everyone how difficult it was to pay back their student loans.

Building Back Better

Biden's Education Department just wiped out $1.74 billion of student debt for 22,000 borrowers through a major overhaul of a loan-forgiveness program. https://t.co/K8sZvtjwPN

Idiot idea #1

In their never ending quest to show just how much they don't care about the American people, the republican party just keeps putting forth bad idea after bad idea.  First up--Marco Rubio's economic plan which calls for helping people pay for college by selling themselves to private investors.  In a nutshell, students would have their tuition paid for by an investor, who would in turn take a percentage of their pay after college (Rubio calls for 4%) until the debt has been paid.

Leaving aside the fact that the idea reeks of indentured servitude (what is it with conservatives doing all they can to ensure Americans are working in some sort of slavery?),  the first major problem I see with it is with extreme conflicts of interest.  Can you imagine the potential pitfalls with a pharmaceutical magnate investing in a host of doctors?  Wall Street investing in business students conducting research on labor?  Please, we working class folks get fucked enough without stacking the deck even further.

The second major problem I see is...how exactly does this help the folks who need it most?  It's easy to imagine a host of investors wanting to underwrite Harvard MBA's and Yale law school students and Johns Hopkins medical students, but what about the man or woman going to BFE Tech who wants to be a nurse or an elementary school teacher?

Frankly, this idea floated by Rubio is just another in a long line of republicans puckering their lips for the wealthy elite while simultaneously trying to boot the rest of us in our collective asses.

Ring, ring goes the bell

This past week, Germany ended college tuition fees for all its citizens and for international students.

The thing that amazes me the most--and this may be because I'm an American, and as a nation, we're anything but--is how forward thinking this is for a nation (note that the link mentions many other EU nations have done the same).  This is a virtual guarantee of a chance at a better future, better life, and a better country for every student in Germany, and without being saddled with the $1.2 trillion of debt that American students are stuck with.

It means more doctors, more lawyers, more teachers, and more consumer spending to make Germany's economy grow faster instead of tons of students loans payments going to Big Banks.

And therein lies the rub--as long as we're beholden to Corporate America and Big Business, the chances of America being anything more than a country of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich are nil.

Pay it forward, indeed.
