Martin Luther King Jr. said “If they give it to the poor they call it a handout, but if they give it to the rich they call it a subsidy.” Why should we subsidize multi B$ Oil & Pharma companies but not kids just trying to get an education?

You shouldn’t have had to take out a loan for it; citizens having trade schools & higher education should be part of our national investment just like k-12. You getting that education helps everyone. Many have been treated unjustly but it’s not a reason not to stop the injustice.

44 million people able to participate in the economy in ways they currently cannot will be a boon to the entire economy. It will indirectly help everyone. Turning higher education into a gargantuan profit center for lenders was an injustice to begin with and it should be stopped.

Manchin and Sinema are not the only reason we’re not taking greater action on healthcare, climate change, canceling student debt etc. The president could do more to help with those things right now.

I get what others are pointing out & I see that they’re right. I was just thinking more like eradicating global poverty, closing the income inequality gap, cleaning up the oceans, transitioning to clean energy etc. Even things people are mentioning are only available to the rich.

Hellish images of the war in Ukraine will hopefully open American eyes to some wars *not* shown on TV each night - wars where corporate media serves to erase American complicity. quincyinst.org/report/the-ye…
