The amount of debt, whether the debt is justified or not, these are not things at issue. This is about a power-crazed lunatic trying to usurp the Congressional power of the purse.

There are some other options for student loan forgiveness such as the Higher Education Act (HEA), which does not rely on there being an emergency. Biden could also continue to pause debt payments.

And wtf does that have to do with the current SCOTUS and the current cost of higher education? Not to mention, waxing philosophical about the "good old days" when colleges were almost exclusively white only shows how completely elitist and out of touch you are.

Okay. After thinking about this all decided to do a little homework. I was wrong in my first response to you. But there is nuance to this. SOME colleges were free in the 1950s here, but not ALL. politifact.com/factchecks/20…

This is part true. Postwar education for returning veterans was a national security priority. We needed an educated population in order to maintain the cold war effort. So other public institutions funded the universities. And there were fewer of them.

For upper class white people who were allowed to go to college, sure. Just say you have nostalgia for segregation and get your MAGA hat on.

That's because they want us uneducated and sheep for the empire. The empire that you support.

Hooray for capitalism.

I started attending Syracuse University in 1972. My parents paid $502 a semester for in-state tuition w/ room & board and a 10 meals a week program. I was able to work some weekends and summers for what I called my "beer & cigarettes (????)" money.

Could I be your V.P. running mate? 🔮
