Not really. They’re not the same. No other country gives free mortgages. But plenty of countries provide free college educations. Society benefits from an educated population. I know conservatives like to rundown higher education but come on![/quote]
Yeah but this country is filled with people like me who paid for our education and are pissed off about this.[/quote]

Yes, I’m in the same boat but I’m not angry at all. I have earned a great living and was able to pay off my loans. They need help.[/quote]

I have a good friend who was similarly benevolent because she felt she could afford the tax increase Biden had proposed before he was elected.  And she was ok with this type of thing too. Until inflation hit and her husband lost his job.  He got a new one but not as good and they had to move so now they have a new mortgage and higher interest rate.  It is EASY to be benevolent when you can afford it but you are being self centered in thinking that all of us can.  I made decisions about where I would go to school based on tuition and the amount of loans I would need.  I made decisions about the jobs I took and my
Living situations based on my debt.  That is how it is done.  I had to have roommates in my late twenties while at Big Law to pay for my degree.  I did NOT take loans and then expect others to pay for them.  It is so irresponsible and selfish.  And Biden is flat out paying for votes.  He is a grifter. [/quote]

Honey, you don’t know the first thing about me. Biden is not paying for votes. He is fulfilling a campaign promise. Similar to how the GOP campaigned on taking rights away from women. [/quote]

What if the promise was just to give every person whose name starts with F 50k every year?  And your name doesn’t start with F?  Suddenly every kid born is named frank or Francis.  This will NOT encourage tuition responsibility.  Young people take on the debt they do because schools charge way too much.  School tuition has gone up astronomically since the government got so involved in loans to students.  So then more loans are necessary in higher and higher amounts.  The problem isn’t solved by this.  This just adds to the problem.  But you don’t care.  This is something you like because it benefits you. But it  has benefit for a huge part of the country, will actually cost all of us more in taxes and will not solve the problem.  But yep, you get your 10k.  I think you are being bought. [/quote]
