The only solution: Crushing student debt!
There can be no forgiveness for politicians who forgive student loans. The White House announced Friday it would extend the moratorium on federal student loan payments another six months, through January of next year, while Bernie, the Squad and Rep. Mark Pocan scramble to make higher education “free” forever more. (On top of Joe Biden’s unconstitutional rent moratorium! No wonder “This is a terrible time for savers.” — NY Times.)
The Werkes would sooner build Sarah Palin’s bridge to nowhere than further subsidize higher education. (Let’s recognize that taxpayers already subsidize in-state UW students.) Student loan forgiveness is a taxpayer-financed, Democrat vote-buying scheme. In the state of New York:
50,000 students who have attended the City University of New York system can have their student debts cancelled in “one of the nation’s largest student debt forgiveness plans of its kind,” … estimated [to] wipe out up to $125 million in unpaid student debt.
Who is the sugar daddy for those 50,000 first-time voters? New York Governor Andrew “Gov. McFeely” Cuomo! (Details here.) And really, “wipe out” unpaid student debt? More like transfer that debt to hard-working taxpayers.
The problem with government picking winners and losers is that it attempts to overrule the market and pick losers. Free college amounts to a federal subsidy of Grievance Studies. Witness the Woke losers cheering the removal of the Chamberlin Rock on the University of Wisconsin’s Madison campus.
Is anything more destructive than a sociology major?
Subsidizing stupidity
Blaming a rock for systemic racism — for that matter, believing that the United States is systemically racist in the first place (are people trying to get IN or get OUT of this country?) — is systemically stupid.
If those idiots had to pay for their mis-education, they might think twice. Correction: they might actually begin to think for the first time. They might even sign up for honest work, like welding, driving truck, or installing cable TV.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: They want to remove rocks, come out to the Blaska farm and work the stone boat next Spring. Now THERE is an education!

It should be clear by now that the Democrats are desperately trying to enact their most fanatical left-wing policies before the 2022 elections. Even if there’s a Republican landslide next year, those policies will stay in place. That’s the essence of their game plan: by the time they lose, they’ve already won.

You’re right.
Trump’s mean tweets sort of pale in comparison, don’t they?

Mark,
Ironically and in my experience, the people who have feigned the most outrage over Trump’s personality tend to be some of the crudest, most dastardly people among us.

College is where young people now go to become indoctrinated in Marxism. Of course they want to make it free.

Dave, I worked the stone boat for years pulled by horses . We amassed enough to build a dam/swimming hole that still exists 60 years later. It was an educational experience..

While I would not support free university education, particularly given the quality of a university education today, debt Jubilee’s have a tremendous historical precedence running back many thousands of years.
The cost of attending a university has far outstripped inflation for the last 20-30 years. It’s a racket. It is a sanctioned way to rob Peter to pay University Paul. It is an extremely effective method to put an entire generation into debt servitude.
There’s an 800 lb. gorilla in the room – just shy of $2 trillion in student debt. When inflation starts moving the cost of interest out from it’s current sub-basement location, the tidal wave of debt maintenance is going to put many many entities – pension funds, student, commercial and personal debt holders – underwater.

Bingo! You make a great point that I don’t think a lot of people have considered.

I’m looking for ways to arrest persons in any city/state housing authority, a citizens arrest. I’m looking into the legalities of blocking evictions. This has gone on for too long. I’m certain something about these eviction moratoriums(whatever) are illegal and can’t really be enforced for much longer. If this keeps going on, do not be surprised if stressed LLs resort to private removal. Does PD really want that?
