Disagree. A lot of people get or got cancer after choosing to smoke. A lot of people get or got heart disease after eating unhealthy foods for decades. It’s unfair those people who got the disease later got better treatment! They should suffer just the same as former victims! |
Uhhhh… Johnny eating burgers has no effect on you. Sleepy Yo deciding to forgive money that people willfully borrowed HAS a consequence on MY financials via higher taxes and other socialist BS. But yes, you’re always right. Moral highness as per usual, right? |
You should go protest at your local hospital. You know every low income and/or undocumented mother who gives birth to a “Medicaid baby” costs taxpayers about $50,000? Nearly 50% of the pregnant moms in the District pop out “Medicare babies.” |
| Medicaid* babies |
Nah, I’m not buying it. How does that ACTUALLY affect my income or my taxing? |

If I were prez of a uni, I'd be salivating right now, because I'd be automatically thinking about raising tuition by $10k. Hey, if students are going to keep getting $10k freebies, why don't I just raise tuition by the same amount for an easy cash grab?
As usual, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. This does nothing to control costs or reduce them. Watch, it will end up encouraging colleges to raise prices because they know students will now get a level of forgiveness that's permanent. Students will expect it from now on. Might as well raise prices to get more money out of uncle sam. |
44% of the District’s newborns are Medicaid babies. You don’t care you’re getting soaked for them do ya. It never even crossed your mind. Source: https://www.macpac.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Medicaid’s-Role-in-Financing-Maternity-Care.pdf |
Explain how I’m getting soaked for babies born to poor moms??? |
Taxpayers pick up the tab. Just as taxpayers pick up the tab for stu loan forgiveness. And PPP scams. And trillions to defense and F-35 boondoggles. And Wall Street and corporate bailouts. And Ukraine. You get the idea. |
Who could forget trillions to fake ME wars. |
| I’m so done with this country. Every American is a deadbeat looking for a handout. Gone are the days when we were held accountable for the commitments we made. Now we are apparently just losers who beg for public aid. Disgusting. |
