    The only step forward worth the name is the cancellation of all debt, and making higher education government paid. Anything else is an embarrassing stop-gap fine to avoid the only real solution to student debt and lack of access to higher ed. A educated workforce is a skilled and effective workforce, it is literally in our nation’s best interest to educate it’s citizenry as best it is capable, and it’s capable of a lot more than it is currently doing

      It’s clear that republicans would file all kinds of lawsuits and the Supreme Court would probably agree with them.

      It’s probably going to have to happen in a different manner.

          just because it’s shit doesn’t make it untrue… what cdf12345 said isn’t wrong: conservatives challenged and rolled back previous debt forgiveness… they’d absolutely try and do the same with pretty much anything progressives do, so everything has to move in baby steps

          blaming republicans for lack of progress is not their only play: you can be frustrated by the minimal progress, but to say they do nothing at all is incorrect and only helps conservatives move the US backward

            The fact that the Supreme Court found that the plaintiffs had standing is what is so worrisome. I think everyone was shocked that a student loan management company in Missouri was found to have been damaged by the previous student debt plan.

      That would strengthen America and make it a better, more competitive country that would have to worry a lot less about the new cold war, and also make even our military stronger in the long run… but oh no, it’s “socialism” so half the voting population’s too brainwashed to see how it’ll help everyone, including the rich, who would have higher quality workers.

      Because it’s not about making life better, it’s about control + sadism.
