Find a dollar, earn a dollar. No difference for your bank account. |
What universe are you even on? The EBT card has been a thing for decades now. It’s more convenient than the actual food stamps There was government cheese, yes. And news flash. You can still qualify to buy it!!! Trump didn’t stop this. Lastly, check the budget of the Trump years. The deficit increased during his administration, even if you exclude the Covid year. God, I wish boomers stopped licking lead paint and started reading actual economic news. |
This is why we have inflation. It doesn’t have anything to do with the government in 1980 or otherwise. |

Why do you think Republicans wouldn’t allow this? Show me one actual policy that the GOP has introduced that prioritizes the needs of the many. For crying out loud, Trump has sad he would re-establish all the forgiven student loan debt, because kicking regular people is the favorite pasttime of the GOP. |
No, you're trying to pass that debt on to the tax payer. That's not right. Those loans were taken by the students. Don't pass your debt onto someone else. Stop making your problems everyone's problems. |
A change this extreme is simply unworkable. Everybody--rich and poor (not to mention the GOP Congressional lifers)--loses under this plan. And BTW, the student debt issue is a good example where non-MAGA voters don't brainlessly support everything one party says. I'm voting Biden but don't think student debt should be forgiven. This changes nothing and simply encourages colleges to continue raising prices. |
Watch the John Oliver piece about student debt so you can understand the issue that the Biden Administration is trying to address. (hint they aren't just giving people free money) |

You've killed the feedback mechanism for payment. Stop government funding of higher education and the problem disappears.
Tuition prices will drop significantly the minute the government no longer funds and guarantees loans. When the end customer does not feel the weight of their decisions, unintended consequences occur from lack of feedback by the market. I could have told you this decades ago. Government doesn't solve problems; it creates them. |

“A new Moody’s analysis finds Biden’s economic policies are significantly better for the U.S. economy, while Trump’s plans would trigger a recession, cut 3.2 million jobs, add 1% to inflation, and reduce middle-class families’ incomes by $2,000.”

Really?
Mike Rowe sounds alarm over 'scary' trade worker shortage: US on 'verge of not being able to make stuff' The 'How America Works' host warned over national security implications of a trade worker shortage https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/mike-rowe-sounds-alarm-scary-trade-worker-shortage-us-verge-not-being-able-make-stuff |
Which means we need more workers and more trained workers. The GOP wants to cut education including the trades, opposed unions, who sponsor apprenticeships and want to deport the immigrants who actually do a lot of this labor. I mean, where is the white person complaining that an immigrant took their fruit picking or slaugher house jobs? |
