You know how all parents say “I worked hard so that my children would have to work harder and suffer more than I did”
Airlines got bailouts, big banks got bailouts, and a bunch of wealthy companies got PPP loans forgiven, but Gorrell is mad about kids who went to college being slightly less in debt from predatory loan practices:
Mr. Gorrell and friends realize that the student loan forgiveness plan also includes loan forgiveness to christian conservative Republicans who just might realize voting Democrat would actually be better for their future than remaining chained to the hateful stagnation of the Republican Party mindset.
The average cost of college (tuition room and board) in 1977 when Gorrell graduated U Va.) was $2,411 and $3101 four years later. Adjusted for inflation this is an average of $11,468 and (per www.usinflationcalculator.com). In 2022, the in-state public college average for TR&B was $27,330 per year. Four years of college today averages roughly $109,320 and four years in Gorrell’s day $45,872. That’s 2.3 times the cost Gorrell would have spent. Putting it all in perspective the $10,000 forgiveness makes it now only 2.1 times the cost—not much of a subsidy of the cost of college by the government. The way Gorrell and rest are howling you’d think Biden is giving away the farm. Get a clue Gorrell.
Only a leftist loon would think it’s appropriate to stick the American taxpayers with the bills, run up by liberals taking gender studies classes. “Your body, your choice. Your debt, YOU pay it back”.

Democrats run up the bills and the working class gets stuck paying them off.

No, you didn’t get a bill, you’re one of the 50% that pay less than $1,000 in federal income taxes.

I’ll bet the government gets to negotiate the interest rate, pennies on the dollar.

Seems to be the talking point that all the RW cartoonists got for today. Different versions of the same whine.

It seems that little bobby got his orders from the RNC, like the other right wing nut job cartoonists.

So send your kid to school. It isn’t limited to the folks who have money, it’s limited to the folks who WANT AN EDUCATION.

Your billionaire got a tax break and all you got was a lousy bill.

I don’t hear Republicans complaining about the theft of tax money intended for public schools being diverted to religious and for profit schools.
