re: #242 lawhawk

What are the odds that she too benefited from student loans, but now can’t be bothered by the fact that tuition costs have skyrocketed and more students need loans to get basic college education (not even starting on the costs for grad school - necessary for being a doctor, lawyer, and some other professions).

Thing is that the student loan mess in Congress doesn’t address the fact that tuition has risen faster than most everything else, including health care at the same time as states have cut back their state-support funding. That means that the costs keep increasing for tuition, and the students have to shoulder even higher costs.

Having a college education is essential for many jobs in the country, and pushing the costs to these heights means that more people wont be able to get their chance to break into the middle class or beyond.

POORS SHOULD GET A DAMN JOB AND GET OFF MY TAX TEAT!

Well I’d love to get a job, but I don’t have a degree and you sort of need degrees to do more than flip burgers these days…

POORS SHOULD STOP BEING LAZY AND GET A DAMN EDUCATION AND GET OFF MY TAX TEAT!

Well I’d love to get an education, but getting a degree costs money which I don’t have, because I don’t have an education and therefore no good job and, oh, by the way tuition has been skyrocketing and educational loan assistance has been scalped.

POORS SHOULD STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT GETTING INTO MASSIVE STUDENT DEBT WHICH WAS TOTALLY OPTIONAL AND GET OFF MY TAX TEAT!

I can’t even imagine what it must be like to be so goddamn stupid that this worldview makes sense. What the world must look like to someone so profoundly moronic.
