Trump's budget plan would end student loan forgiveness programs (health care system, death, wisdom)

Instead of penalizing students for trying to better themselves ....

How about making college more affordable?

Average Published Yearly Tuition and Fees Public Two-Year College (in-district students) $3,440
(this, from: https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/p...ege-costs-faqs )

That's the national average. Some community colleges are even cheaper.

I didn't like it then, either. No reason to make it worse.

These 3 will be largely automated short-term.

Trucking could be in so far as highway travel is concerned with ease.

Shortening miles by driver immensely.

Rote aspects latter two-same way.

.

Credit card corp was not a guaranteed , no income required, yes.

Change student loans to a decision where bank can say no-you would be correct then.

Did I miss a turn somewhere?

There is no either to like or dislike because the policy will remain unchanged from the day in 1998 when Bill Clinton made student loan debt no longer dischargeable through bankruptcy.

Move to Louisiana. High school students with roughly a "c" average get a free college education here. Yet, the state always has financial problems.

What do those swindlers charge for a year of college now over there? 12k a year? That's a lot of overtime at Maccas! How about making college less outrageous? Nah you silver spooners and Cheeto swooners do NOT want that! The more regular folks that can afford college, the more people who get marketable skills, the less in demand YOU are, the more YOU will actually have to WORK and EARN your pay; no more being overpaid in your ivory towers, smugly judging others.
Affordable college is the last thing you people want!!

Wow.

Still have that chip on your shoulder.

Even in retirement.

SMH.
