I don't get people's attitudes towards student loans on either side of the isle to be honest. On one hand you have the left who's wanting the government (one of the groups that helped put them in this position to begin with) to bail them out...yet on the right side you have people almost bragging about how many jobs they had to take to pay off their loans as if getting hosed over that much harder is some sort of mark of pride.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Whether it's through student loans that colleges then turn around and give to their buddies in Washington or direct taxes. The suits in Washington get your money either way so if you hate one you should just as equally despise the other.
2. The educational system tries to groom kids early to be loan piggies. I mean like 11 years old they constantly bang into kids' ears how important college is (Especially university) as opposed to things like trade school or even working right out of high school with no bills and if they can't target the kids they'll target the parents. "You don't want little Timmy to end up in poverty, do you? After all statistics show..." and when that doesn't work they will straight up lie about how much a degree costs and how viable it actually is. This isn't just a case of "Kids these days don't want to pay their loans" The educational system is a government-backed parasitic monster that will latch onto vulnerable people who are just trying to think of their future and such them dry before they even have a future and if it sounds similar to how big pharma is treating gender dysphoria it's because it is.
it's like the left can't realize that all these institutions are run by the same people...and the right can't admit that these same institutions are using their own pride and morality against them to hose them over.
