Tim Campbell for August 27, 2022

Who IS responsible for making it impossible to get student loans at the same (or lower) rate as mortgages?

Ok but why Ben Stein?

And why bueller, this meme need to die seriously

It should be the responsibility of the state to educate the populace, and that responsibility should extend to all levels. It is an investment in the future of the nation.

Anyone dumb enough to borrow money for an “online degree” should be stuck with it, not the taxpayers. Those loans that resulted in actual college degrees should be given priority.

Spare me MAGA outrage on $10K loan forgiveness for low income people.

What about the states responsibility to NOT create a system where our young people are taken advantage of and basically indentured to the government for decades?

Irresponsibility, irresponsibility. Democrats*, Democrats*.

I listened on radio where they were saying many times the loans were sold to another institution and the rates were changed. Many folks now owe much much than they ever borrowed.

Congratulations to all who have no college debt! Now, thanks to Biden, YOU DO!!!!

Has anyone been held responsible for making predatory student loans the ONLY debt you can’t escape through bankruptcy? I didn’t forget Joe.

The average cost of college (tuition room and board) in 1976 was $2,577 and $3,499 four years later when Campbell graduated Columbus College of Art & Design. Adjusted for inflation this is an average of $13,805 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—four years in Campbell’s day only $45,872. That’s 2.4 times the cost Campbell would have spent. Putting it all in perspective the $10,000 forgiveness makes it now only 2.2 times the cost—not much of a subsidy of the cost of college by the government. The way Campbell and rest of his over-60 Boomer right editorial cartoonists are crying foul you’d think Biden is giving away the farm. It’s not even close so get a clue Campbell.

(and a special P.S to opspecial—I did the math again just for Campbell’s case and FYI I’m Pro-Critical thinking—you can cut and paste that on your one precious neuron you call a brain and try to process the math)

National Security Risk Trump the traitor has shown zero responsibility his entire life.

The nuance with Campbell is akin with walking into a port a potty.

Some years back a cousin of mine commented that after the legislature approved of the Education Lottery, the universities would raise the tuition forcing more students to take out loans to finance their education. He was right.

Bueller? Bueller?

And who were the responsible parties for corporate bailouts? Corporations were bailed out and how many CEOs took huge compensation packages while it was going on? Of the companies bailed out, how’s their paying the bail back coming along? Why don’t we hear any reports or news about that? Student loan forgiveness is a drop in the bucket compared to corporate welfare. Why is throwing a small bone in the direction of a few students such a big deal when billions get tossed towards companies and no one blinks twice about it?

Y’mean like bank bailouts and having the pandemic loans forgiven for rich people and corporations?

Generosity? Forgiveness? Sharing?

It is amazing that Americans want to hold down Americans. College is unaffordable, and corporations hold wages down. Make America great again? How about treating them fairly first.

Rich people PPP forgiven loans. Responsibility anyone?

Wrong. People receive all kinds of government assistance, especially wealthy ones.

Elizabeth Warren points out Mitch McConnell graduated from a school that cost $330 a year amid his criticisms of Biden’s student-loan forgiveness: ‘He can spare us the lectures on fairness’

Overpriced for profit universities might be the bigger problem.

Did you talk about responsibility when Trump slashed the income of this country through his tax cuts while increasing the spending? Unlike that giveaway this one is an investment in people. And save me your indignity that taxes are theft. Taxes are the dues we all pay to live in this great country.

Or ask why the average college president makes $500K per year.
