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

@Riverman2 This too shall pass.

@irishmolly72 But pass into what? I know several people that went in wonderful people and came out raving mad lefty nutjobs.

@Riverman2 If you're not a liberal at 20 you have no heart. If you're not a convervative at 40 you have no brain.

@Riverman2 Georges Clemenceau (28 September 1841 – 24 November 1929) was a French journalist, physician and statesman. He served as Prime Minister from 1906 to 1909 and from 1917 to 1920.

He said of his son:

My son is 22 years old. If he had not become a Communist at 22, I would have disowned him. If he is still a Communist at 30, I will do it then.
🥴

@irishmolly72 When I was 18 I thought my old man was the dumbest sob in the world. By the time I turned 23 I was amazed at how much the old boy had picked up in the past few years

@irishmolly72 I understand what you are saying, I think. Yes, I do agree that people often mature and realize that what they believed at 22 was bullshit. Can we afford that though? Look at history. Every major communist / socialist takeover was spearheaded by people in their 20s and even younger.

@Riverman2 The great illusion is that people can project their high minded motives on government. Many of the founders of Russian communism had no idea what would turn into, and in fact, were ultimately victims of their own creation.
