Irresponsible

So President Biden vetoed the bill that would have repealed months of a pause in student loan payments and upped to $20,000 in debt forgiveness. Shocking. That bill incidentally received overwhelming support from not just republicans, but also independent  Arizona Senator Kirsten Sinema as well as democrats Manchin and Tester. Cue the outrage. Now making the rounds on all the liberal outlets is the photograph of three barely post pubescent poster children holding signs, professionally produced signs, saying “stop hurting 40M student loan borrowers.” Where did those signs come from? And hurting? Please. How about we teach these young people something about responsibility, the definition of “loan” and instill in them a work ethic instead of using them as props and filling their heads with confusing gender nonsense, existential climate change, a sense of entitlement, and an unhealthy addiction to social media. No wonder this generation has set a new standard for mental illness. How about we return to the days when we educated our children in subjects that prepared them for the real world, making them smart enough to realize that spending $25000 on a degree in gender studies, art history or film is not going to see a return on your investment. Sure, major in whatever you want, but only if you can afford it, because there’s no reason anybody else, especially hard working Americans that paid their debt or passed on the college experience altogether, should pay your way.
