Since this is posted on a shitpost community, I'll just assume it's not supposed to be taken seriously.

Likely testing waters to see if it would land.

We already had trump and biden, and country has been in structural decline since at least 2008.

It doesn't matter who is the next president since there is zero indication current policy will be adjusted in any meaningful way to to provide any relief for working people.

Beatings will continue until morale improves.

Income tax sunset from trump corpo tax cuts coupled with inflation really pinching people this year. But fake news and our dear leaders can't figure why z peasants are bitching since inflation is "down"

there is zero indication current policy will be adjusted in any meaningful way to to provide any relief for working people.

Just a reminder that Biden has been working overtime to provide student debt relief the entire time he's been in office. Republicans have been working overtime to block it.

Student debt shouldn't even exist. We need more education, not less.

Using existing means to cancel fraudulent loans for non accredited schools that went under or people who were already supposed to have their loans forgiven by standing law but hadn't because people like literally Joe Biden have given the keys to the kingdom to the business that want to make money more and have been going unpunished for screwing over the general populace.

They aren't real actually helpful policies it's minor enforcement of things that he and others of the major parties have ignored being broken for the bank accounts of their donors.

Student debt relief without a reduction in prices is just funneling money to colleges with extra steps. It is an important step, Biden should be doing it, but it needs to be accompanied by serious consumer protections and price controls applied to colleges.

Sure, college education should just be a part of the regular public education system like it is in Europe. More education is a boon for the individual, society, and the economy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

That would be good, private colleges could still exist but they'd have to compete with free college so the prices would have to come down and the value come up, a win for the consumer either way. It would be expensive but an important investment in our future.

Which is not an adjustment in policy in any meaningful way.

If regulation was being drawn up to control pricing of higher education, then we could talk.
