Chip Bok for April 10, 2024

Other civilized countries pay for higher education.

He has defied the Supreme Court a number of times and he does not care.

STUDY!

As usual, chipper twists the facts.

The Supreme Court has no enforcement authority. That’s why they issue Opinions. SCOTUS relies on the public acceptance of the belief that the Court is making honest rulings based on law and the Constitution. That belief is seriously under strain right now and the Court is losing its legitimacy because of its several obviously ideological and political rulings, as well as the corruption of a couple of the “justices”. Presidents, the Congress are co-equal and have power to check SCOTUS. On the other hand, I suppose, ignorance is bliss.

as usual, cheap trite commentary for sale here. i find it astounding you get paid to post inane stupidity here. Have you ever had an original thought of your own?

Any most of the ones getting the benefit are the lawyers and doctors that have racked up the most debt.

The Student Debt crisis solved. 1) You took out a loan. 2) You pay it back.

“I get all my facts from Fox News…and yes…the Kool-Aid is delicious!” ~Chip Bok

What he is trying to forgive is actually the interest that is causing folks to owe MORE THAN THEY BORROWED.

How about all those bih covid loans that were forgiven for members of Congress. Where is the outrage about that?

YEP. Looks about right.

This cartoon is a fabricated lie.

trump’s facts are worse than bok’s fiction:

Here’s some real life:

Longtime executive assistant Molly Michael, speaking to donald trump: “I’m going to be questioned about the location of the classified documents.”

donald trump: “Tell them you don’t know anything about the boxes.”

Walt Nauda: “They’re coming with a search warrant.”

donald trump, regarding the classified documents: “Quick, hide those, justice is after me!”

Bok and Lisa are birds of a feather. Really.

This cartoon makes even less sense than Bok usually does.

The SCOTUS said you can’t do that. But like a dictator, he’ll do it any how.

The eternal, tried and true democrat strategy. Vote for me and get free stuff

I could support structured student loan forgiveness however, stipulations are;1) completed A degree2) state university, no private schools3) you have to do something after graduation a) teacher for x # of years in under performing school districts b) put in so many hours (over a period of years) volunteering for an approved list of charities c) military serviceThere might be some other things but it would all involve some type of service to the greater good.

Dear deadbeat college grads: The Big Guy has already taken out his 10% and expect you to do him as service in November. He is buying your vote so he can be dictator for life.

This one’s kind of lame, BOK. You’re slipping.

The worst and the crookedist President we have ever had. If you disagree, you are blind.

The surety of the critics above continues to amaze me. EVERYONE in debt is a slacker. NONE of them work. ALL of it goes to lawyers, doctors and those who can afford it. It truly makes me dizzy with all that they KNOW. (And I say this as a parent who is currently paying the third child’s tuition. The older two paid for, and I don’t feel a bit cheated that I didn’t get “mine”.)

Now, don’t mess with the programs from which I benefit!!!

Republicans want to FORCE everyone to pay back their student loans.

Nothing is being hidden. Student loans should have always been interest free. The interest was on paper and that’s all that was forgiven.

The rich benefit from the caste system that keeps college out of the reach of all but those who are already well off. They can pay wages that require two or three jobs per household just to keep food on the table, while they keep the majority of the GNP produced by the people who are living that way. And, they are assured that future generations will remain in that situation, since tuition isn’t an option.

The average college graduate pays about $7800 more a year in federal taxes than the average high school graduate (2023). Over 30 years, that totals about $234,000. If that’s divided by the 4 years it takes to get a college education, THE GOVERNMENT MAKES MONEY ON AVERAGE ON EACH STUUDENT. This includes those who never, graduate, get degrees that don’t help get a job, or just generally don’t make it, because the majority do.

This doesn’t even consider that with the degree, the person is less likely to ever need unemployment or welfare, that more students would complete high school if they could see a clear way to a really good job, and that they would be enriching the Social Security and Medicare funds. They would also be paying a larger amount in all other types of taxes.

The best investment we could make to keep America strong is to not just forgive all student loans but to make all higher education, including trade schools, etc totally free, as long as the student is making decent grades, and increase the number of schools and teachers to make room for all who can profit from the education. There is no better way to spend money than to invest it in our people, to give them every opportunity to be the best they can be. Yes, It’s good for them individually, but the country is made up of individuals, so what’s good for one is good for the country.. We don’t, even during a time of high unemployment, have so much a lack of jobs as we have a lack of people who have the skills to perform the jobs that are available- in other words, a lack of education.

As usual Chip nails it!

What on earth is this all about?
