He’ll be fine, but it’s funny how folks have called Fox News liars and reporters of fake news until it fits their narrative.

But people older than me who are responsible for this? Cry me a river.

The only reason we have college so expensive was due to the idiot democrats that said, "everyone should afford and go to college", therefore we will guarantee loans to all. Ah and then the liberal colleges all saw that and say oh my college is now guaranteed for all young people. Then of course the obvious happened due to the democrats not putting caps and such in place, so colleges saw this as a blank check.

DON'T mess with the big dogs that know more than you could imagine. Just read my posts and learn.

Continuing to pass out free stuff at the drop of a hat is while taxpayers foot the bill.

Okay, how about we raise taxes on your generation so we can restore the government's share of college costs to the same level as 40 years ago. Deal?

"Free stuff" is a phrase you toss around but clearly have no idea how pretty much anything works. College has never been more expensive and critical for a good job, and you are to blame.

Government was paying a larger percentage of the costs in prior decades, but you probably don't consider it "free stuff" because its not a direct payment or in this case, debt relief. It still doesn't change the fact that you probably had more "free stuff" than people younger than you.

Fox is more real than the other media sites. Take this for example.




All the leftist media machine stated this young high school kid was disrespecting some Indian. Was he? NO! He was waiting for a bus and being heckled by a very RACIST black group called the black Hebrew Israelites. They were HIGH SCHOOL KIDS just standing there. Fox was the only channel that didn't put this kid through a living hell and have death threats and more. Thankfully that kid is a millionaire as he should be due to him suing the leftist media machine that is grooming all our youth and really destroying their lives. Hope they figure it out and rebel someday!

Always love the assumptions, accusations, and sense of entitlement. Yep, and free stuff continues to be thrown out and the lastest trend is student loan relief, which relieves the debt of the borrowers to the taxpayers.

Government didn’t pay any of my college tuition, but love “probably” as it’s right up there with your assumptions, lol.

Folks that don’t want to pay for tuition can learn a trade and have very little debt if any. It’s great to have choices.

except for the small grants (was that the Pell? and i think it was $500 and I was awarded it twice in my undergrad), i paid it all back.

i paid my graduate school in cash, because i saved long term for it.

so no, i am not loving the school debt forgiveness....why not DELAY it?
better yet, why stop there...college debt is terrible, sure, but so is malnutrition. all college grads get FREE meal tickets for dinner for a year....cuz they might go hungry. hope they dont forget their $800 phone as its dropped underneath the table at Ruth's Chris!

Idiot? I rank him among the five or ten greatest presidents. He's very inspiring.

Entitled folks always want more and think they’re deserving of it. They also love to complain about others that have more than they do.

pffft, i remember that well, and will never forget it. i believe i ranted about that here on c-data.

it was reported with such shame and sadness....the conclusion of the initial story went something like "how is it there is this racism towards native americans in 2019?", Savannah Guthrie said with such melancholy.

Turns out, the whole thing was nothing like it appeared.....i just deleted a bunch more that i typed here. no use in rehashing it. the incident can be researched online with an easy google search.

and it reminds me of the Duke LaCrosse case, too, which was horrible, just horrible and ugly and it shows the worst in how people are quick to be judge, jury, and executioner, at the cost of due process.

but they were mostly white guys, so...i mean, who cares?

sure, but does Biden actually KNOW the word "D E B T"? Does he understand economics?

Does he know that people fall into a spiral of entitlement? I mean, the cap was at a family income of $125,000. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? At that much income, you can manage a 10k debt over time - you have 'padding'.

If it was a cap of, say, $60-75k, i wouldnt be as salty about this.

but this is just crazy and extreme coddling. get a second job. live with mother and father for a year. work OT if available....it can be done. so many of us DID do that. after my undergrad, i paid my rent and had maybe $15 for the next two weeks living in an apartment in Garfield.

i had no notion, no concept that i should be helped by the government.
