    That kind of thing gets subsidized all the time, just not in the form of loan relief

    It’s also not hard to imagine that an educated populace benefits everybody

      Apparently it hard to imagine for some people.

      it’s a weak argument that boils down to “I’m already paying for things via my taxes but I choose to whine about this instance of the Iraq wars… plural”

      Trump gave billions to already rich billionares via tax cuts that were permanent for the upper class and temp for everyone else. Don’t get me started on the billions of fraudulent PPP loans that were forgiven and no one said a peep.

      But college? For the working class? “What a waste of MY MONEY…”
