Biden reportedly set to announce student loan forgiveness plan that would cost taxpayers billions.

I wonder what my middle class auto mechanic who worked his way up to start his own business thinks about $300,000,000,000 of tax going to this program?

Yet I don't recall you being so concerned about the $2,200,000,000,000 (yep, twelve zeros; 7x as much) gone to corporations under Trump's bailout program?

How is it, if it's students/people it's bad but if it's for-profit corporations it's good? Socialism for me but not for thee?

* My bad, it was morning, 7x(!) and not 4x as much
@Elessar Not to mention you could put every young American through their first year of college free of charge on what the Pentagon wastes in a week. That is not an exaggeration. Someone did the numbers and that was a few years ago. The DOD budget is even more insane.
@Elessar Of course she doesn’t GAF about that.

@LeopoldBloom So much for the free-market capable of regulating itself, right? lol

@Elessar Some of that money went to churches.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I agree we should cut the military too! :)

Genius move, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin love you already

@Elessar We could cut our military in half and still kick anyone's ass. Maybe Europe would have an incentive to pay its fair share to boot.

@irishmolly72 Sure buddy, but it's Taiwan not Europe the theater you should pay attention to. Unless you want to go back to the middle ages technologically, that island is quite critical for the American economy.

If Russia violates the NATO borders in Europe, the U.K. and France alone have enough nukes to turn Moscow into a glass-coated crater. You're here for your own geopolitical interests, and only secondarily ours.

@Elessar I stand by my previous statement. We can kick anyone's ass with half our military budget.

@Elessar Wow, now I'm convinced. 🤓

@irishmolly72 I'm not here to convince you, I'm here to entertain myself with your naivety

@Elessar Such as the billions going to silicon valley to make the fat cat techies even richer?

irishmolly72 · 56-60, F
@Elessar Good because it would be hard for you to convince anyone. You basically have the IQ of a doorknob.
@Elessar The most amazing thing in America is how many broke ass people defend a president that gave every corporation and billionaire in America a free tax ride.......and disses anyone else who wants to give someone just as poor as they are a break.

@anythingoes477 Temporarily inconvenienced billionaire syndrome..
@Elessar Or as I call it....................stupid.
@sunsporter1649 As opposed to Trump, do nothing at all for 4 years and blame the black guy.
@sunsporter1649 And that is rich coming from a guy who worships an oligarch con man.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I surely don't worship sippy-cup biden, unlike you
@sunsporter1649 I don't give a shit about Biden. But he is still better than that con man you worship. Cheetoh "I can steal top secret documents because I feel like it " Benito.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Who told you he stole top-secret documents?
@sunsporter1649 🤦‍♂️ They were taken from his golf course/home. This is not a rumour. The fact he is a former president is the only reason he is not in a sub basement at Langley learning the finer points of water boarding.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You saw the top-secret papers yourself! Amazing!
