They think that if they give people an inch then we'll want a mile! The serfs must be well-managed.

GOP Senators like Romney and Grassley are saying Biden's loan forgiveness is him trying to "bribe" the voters. Hilarious. They have "serving" the people confused with "bribing" the people. And Senators who take corporate donations certainly know what legalized bribery is.

Our biggest problem isn't on the level of policy but of emotional desensitization. Too many Americans have distracted, amused or numbed themselves so much that they have no deep empathy - or sense of moral responsibility - toward those who suffer through no fault of their own

I might not mind the lack of universal healthcare so much if the same forces that deny it to people weren't the ones also poisoning the water & the air, putting carcigens in our food & toxic pesticides on our land, then laughing all the way to the bank while people suffer and die

Over the last 40 yrs we've systematically shifted resources of social & economic opportunity into the hands of a very few. Now only a small per cent of us can easily afford adequate healthcare & higher education Yet the system doles out crumbs & says people should be grateful🥱

I wouldn't mind that tax break. But you don't not right a wrong on the basis that it's unfair to people who were wronged before. That's illogical.

You're talking about the malfeasance of neoliberalism, and on that we do not disagree.

It is *very* wrong. This was more than forced relocation. This was heinous, cruel behavior. “Forced relocation” sounds like something no worse than the government taking someone’s land through eminent domain.

The GI Bill is the point! That was govt funding your education. So the rest of us DID pay for your education. FDR wanted it for everyone but the G.I. Bill for veterans was all he was able to get through Congress. It helped build a middle-class then and would help rebuild it now

Some school districts in Texas now calling slavery “involuntary relocation.” What a sick, immoral minimizing of the cruelest, most evil example possible of man’s inhumanity to man. We can’t let them do this. You can’t just cancel history.

Supposedly it’s going to be $10k off a college loan debt. We give multibillion dollar subsidies to companies that are already making billions in profit, while saying to people who are drowning in despair to expect crumbs in the mail any day now. He should cancel it all.
