$15/hr minimum wage, UBI, free college, canceling college loan debt & Medicare For All: they’re not government handouts; they’re economic justice. It’s government’s job to provide the average person with a fair shot at making it in what has become an economically merciless world.

Society shouldn’t move forward because that would upset the people who were at the effect of the stupid things it did before? Injustice towards someone else makes the injustices you suffered feel better? Did women who didn’t have the right to vote then criticize women who got to?

I do understand you’re being very angry about it, but shouldn’t the anger be projected at the forces that came up with the sick college loan system to begin with? A good college education used to be anywhere from very cheap to free in this country and needs to become that again.

Please tell us all why people who decide not to go to college get to pay for the people who go to college.

Completely agree with you, Marianne. And I paid off my student loans and a significant portion of that of my kids. Those who whine, "but I paid mine" and "they chose to take the loan" are short-sighted and probably a bit selfish. Fixing the system for the better will be a shock.

I've never and will never be able to own my own home because my 18 yr old self thought she could make it in the world. I got sick. Life ruined.

The problem is, Marianne, that one of the “forces” behind this college loan system is the federal government and they’re a reason why it’s become such a mess
