I grew up in poverty in the mountains of NC. I ate out of a garden, lived in government housing, shopped at yard sales. I joined the Air Force. Earned my GI BILL. I attained 4 degrees and created my own version of the American Dream. I am not responsible for your student debt.

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

I EARNED & also paid into the GI Bill. It was deducted from my monthly pay. The pay for enlisted service members is minimal. It did not cover all of my education. My husband worked/paid for it. I did the same for him when he went to school. We worked to pay our college costs.
