You shouldn’t have to bust your ass in school for 12 years only to have to borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars to finish the job. It makes zero sense. Also I hate how it’s so easy to get into student loan debt but you have to jump through all the hoops to get a house and shyt smh. Get Betsy out of here :camby:

You can afford an extra $300 a month, many others can't because they have bills and kids to feed. How many small businesses did we lose during the past 8 months?

Your other problem is you think the system will work. Sure pay $300 extra now. Give them an inch, they'll take a mile isn't just a saying.
You rather have your kids in debt for life via college loans than pay an extra $300 a year in taxes? :mindblown:

Misallocation of scholarships and grants are not the issue here.

The issues are: (1) the predatory loan system; (2) the lack of loan forgiveness; (3) incredibly low wages and; (4) the exploitation of faculty and subsequent tuition hikes for private schooling.

All for-profit schools need to be shut down. They siphon off billions, target low-income students, students of color (particularly Black students) and veterans, - saddling them with debt without providing real education. The loan system should not have an interest rate above 2% - period. Wages should have been raised decades ago, but they've floundered in most areas even as productivity has continued to skyrocket - making it harder for living expenses to be covered, let alone debt payments. And yes, tuition is too high, particularly at schools that add useless amenities to their campus. No college needs to a wave pool, or amusement park activities - they need to ensure they cover every student's housing and can pay the adjunct and part-time faculty a fair and livable wage.

I'm all for lowering Tuition costs to that of the 70s & 80s. All you needed was a summer job back then to pay for your classes and books, yet someone I'm in the wrong and it should be free and we should raise taxes on the middle class.

He’d have a heart attack if he saw what taxes were like in the 70’s

What was the tax rate for the middle class in the 70s?

So you want to take hard working folks money. The Middle Class is already shrinking, a lot of small businesses lost during Covid, and you tryna tax more? What do you mean so what? It's my money and I have the choice to whether to pay for your bullshyt degree or not. :manny:
Did you go to public schools? Do you drive on public roads? Did you accept that stimulus check? You benefit from other people's hard working money too.

It’s always fun to see black men praise capitalism when it’s the largest singular force behind black oppression in America.

The idea that healthcare and school are bad taxes because it might slightly increase ur overall spend is such mush brained garbage. It would 100% decrease your net spend. These people are always wrong about the math behind this shyt.

The people that would mainly be paying for this shyt are Jeff bezos and large corporations. Unless you’re one of those people u literally have nothing to lose and everything to gain. A highly educated population is a net good for society and the country as a whole.

Let's be real. This is mainly because of blacks. I've always said that if it wasn't for blacks, this nation would have universal health care a long time ago. "Free" college would help out a lot of people, but it would also help blacks, and that's what people like her are afraid of.
I agree. They'd rather starve than see us get a slice of the pie. This is why I'm against folk saying anything that helps other races as well as us isn't "tangible". That's how those cacs feel, anything that they get that also benefits blacks is a bad thing to them. They'd cut off food stamps to their own poor and starve them out to stop blacks from eating off them.

Co-signing with actual monster and white supremacist Betsy Devos on anything should give you pause but keep doing you my guy

So you have access to everybody's savings account? :jbhmm: You know what everybody pays in bills? You know how much debt the Middle Class is in via credit cards, overpriced vehicles, and high real estate costs??:jbhmm:
