It's not Trumps' fault that most Americans have so much credit card debt or have bad credit. It's not Trump's fault that people have children that they can't afford to raise. Or buy or lease blingy cars and SUVs or try to style themselves like their favorite celebrity. It's not Trump's fault if Americans live beyond their means.
And no, college student loans should NOT be forgiven. Perhaps lower the interest rate on those loans to 1%, but certainly America should not be picking up the tab for the cost of their college education. And definitely, America should not be paying for the costs of a liberal arts education, or someone who decided that it would be a good idea to major in womens studies at the most expensive university in the country (Sarah Lawrence College) at $60K a year.
Of course, it is easier that way. Zero personal accountability necessary.
True millions of Americans are up to their eyeballs in debt. The rest of us work like dogs to stay afloat here. Like someone else we get pushed to the side and ignored, because so many politicians are BOTH sides of the isle don’t give a damn less money for us and more for them.
You remember how every time Obama had a good to great jobs report Faux news (and all the posters here praising Trumps jobs reports) would claim the reports were inaccurate? They'd spend the whole next month debunking them, claiming the BLS were shills for Obama.
Funny we don't hear that same commentary anymore. Guess the BLS got its act together right around the time Trump took office. hmm.
One thing for certain; politics is not about fair objective reason.
Given the amount of debt a lot of Americans are carrying, the percentage of Americans who pay zero income tax and the number of Americans who aren't looking for work nor are they interested in work, I'm surprised it isn't higher than 40%.

No. No, I really don't remember the time Fox News claimed the jobs report was inaccurate. Could you link that for us, please?
Yeah. I didn't think so.
What is - and has always been inaccurate - is the unemployment figures. Everyone knows why.
Yes, the party of open borders, reparations, free college, etc. is insane.
But even the most unhinged people within that group agree that illegals are mostly not homeless.
Republicans and Democrats agree they are living in private, non-government residences. Basic math proves that hundreds of thousands of private residences are inhabited by illegals and spawn of illegals. This is not opinion or some racist, bigoted conspiracy theory I learned while banging my cousin and watching Fox News.
Any data to help put your perspective into PROPER perspective?
I've seen estimates that put the number of illegals in America at between 10 million and 20 million. Note how I use at least one source of reference to substantiate my comment here. Try it some time.
Do the math and just how much impact on rents do you believe under 5% of the population can have all considered? Especially if many share the same roof?
Can't be the sort of pressures a growing economy can have on the housing market like has been going on for a very long time now. Right? Can't have anything to do with the gentrification going on all across the country. Gentrification. Take a break from your cousin and look it up.
Just because a racist or bigot or xenophobe goes on about how they are pure of heart and mind doesn't mean they are not a racist or bigot or xenophobe as they forever go on fighting their phobic windmills!
How interesting that YOU refer to it as "shaming," when what I described are no more than actual consequences of specific actions and behaviors.
Don't like the consequences? Change the behavior and make different choices.
Not that I expect you to follow along, but to comment as if you are in a vacuum all your own is hardly worth the key strokes!
