Young Americans are piling the blame for their student debt balances on conservatives, according to a poll by Generation Lab provided exclusively to Axios.

    Yep. Congress gave the U.S. Secretary of Education the right to do it. But the terrorist party and their illegitimate puppets in SCOTUS decided that, no, a Constitutional law passed by Congress was not valid because… reasons. Can’t let those “libs” ever enact something that is popular, fair, legal, and beneficial…

    So yes, everyone should blame SCOTUS and the GOP because they are solely responsible for putting us all in this horrible position.

      I’m borderline on this. At some point Trump (or someone like him) will be back in power.

      The law is intended to be used during an emergency for: “waiv[ing] or modify[ing] any statutory or regulatory provision”

      If you read that literally, it means that Trump could literally make the provision say absolutely anything during an unrelated emergency. Clearly that isn’t the intent.

      I’m all for student loan forgiveness… but I mainly blame congress for this. They wrote a crap ambiguous law which SCOTUS needed to determine the bounds of.

      Low education take… Learn how the constiution works and spending power.

      Also… If your beloved party wanted to do this… Why did they not do so when they controlled both house and presidency?

      Asking for a friend.

        “Beloved party”

        See, that’s one of the many many problems with you fucking idiots. We dont belove our party. Or idolize politicians. Or hang flags or buy wearable merchandise supporting fascists.

        We just hate what you represent.

        I like how you assume that I’m a proponent of another right-wing political party solely because I pointed out that a different one is a violent, fascist, criminal, terrorist organization.

            Yes, because I am a leftist and there are no leftist political parties in the US. Anyone that thinks the DNC is remotely “leftist” has been swayed so far to the right that they can’t imagine there’s an entire world of politics on the other side of the DNCs milquetoast center-right authortiarian-lite platform.

                All right wing policies, ideals, and platforms are bad. The right is about consolidated vertical authority (monarchy, fascism, authoritarianism, etc) and the left is about distributed horizontal authority (democracy, socialism, egalitarianism, etc).

                But in the US, where all politics is controlled by two ruling right wing parties, only one of those parties is SO FAR TO THE RIGHT that they pose an immediate existential threat to life, liberty, freedom, and societal stability.

                I do not support the DNC, but I vehemently oppose the GOP. They are not the same. Don’t assume people support the DNC just because they are trying to prevent the GOP from establishing the Fourth Reich.

                  Not if you are wealthy. Or a religious zealot. Or a racist. Or you’re just plain full of hate. Then, that’s the perfect party for you.

                  Just so you know, if you’re donating to the dnc or dga you’re in an indirect way contributing money to fringe right wing candidates.

                  Both agencies are in the habit of deliberately elevating those candidates with political advertising during the primary.

                  The idea is that they will swing republicans to their side in the general election, but i think it’s a dangerous and irresponsible game they’re playing.

                  You may agree with the practice or disagree (like myself, vehemently.) but everyone should at least know it’s being done.

                  My stance is a strong one. I consider the practice enabling the fascists they claim to fight

            To do something equitably when reality is not equitable is disengineous and immoral
