Any society in which the phrase “student loans” exists is evil. We should not gatekeep education. We should not restrict it to those who can afford it, or those who are willing to go into debt. Everybody should go to college, if they want. Everybody should get an education, if they want.
Any society that fails to do this will, absolutely by design, create massive class inequality.

Re: Trump’s Pardon Rationale
Geeze, the First Felon seemed to know even less than Big Mike Johnson! I’ll bet he knew what kind of “gratuity” he was getting in exchange, though. Good thing the formerly “Supreme” Court made this kind of “tipping” legal. And then Trump made it non-taxable!

“[Honduras], uh, deals in drugs, like probably you could say that about every country, and because he was the president, they gave him like 45 years in prison. And there are many people fighting for Honduras, very good people that I know. And they think he was treated horribly, and they asked me to do it, and I said I’ll do it.”

Honduras has requested an international arrest warrant for former President Juan Orlando Hernández, issued by its Attorney General, following his pardon and release from a US prison by President Trump; he is wanted in Honduras for money laundering and fraud. The Honduran government wants to execute an existing 2023 warrant and is working with Interpol for his capture, as he faces new charges related to campaign finance.

And I know very little about him other than people said it was like, uh, an Obama/Biden type setup, where he was set up.
That’s all he needs to know. It doesn’t matter what it is if Obama or Biden convicted the criminal, did the thing, created the program, passed the legislation it is by definition bad, evil, truly awful and it is Trump’s sacred duty to reverse those actions. (see also loan forgiveness in this story)

I agree. “A rising tide lifts all boats” is absolute fact.
We know a conservative Trickle-Down economy with unlimited power cannot work. Republicans have proven it these last 40 years.
Time for radical change – the opposite of fascism.

I wonder if Hernandez considers Trump disloyal by not keeping his end of the bargain. Trump promised to free him ; - )

The oligarchs don’t want us going to college. They are all nihilists, having bet everything on AI, which is essentially betting against humanity.

— Warren Buffett, pointing out the absurdities of America’s tax system
America in a nutshell: The government demands the repayment of usurious student loans from cash-strapped Americans who sought to better themselves and, hopefully, better the lives of their families while simultaneously allowing the 1% to write 100% of their private jets off their already marginal taxes.
