    Yes, so these courses should be FREE. Anything not in high demand, should neither be free, nor subsidised.

    So what evidence would have to be presented to convince you that you are wrong about the democratic party?

    They could start with returning to their Leftist roots, and giving the middle finger to the ideology of the white elites ... Progressivism.

    Progressivism, not progress. Two very different things. Progress with a small p, is forward momentum - irrespective of which ideology achieves it. Limiting your movement to adhere to a single ideology, is the very definition of conservatism. Progressives are therefore conservative.

    Dude, I'm a pathetic life-long Lefty ... despite my better judgement.

    Median lawyer salary in the US is $127K https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/lawyer/salary They are your prosecutors, and district attorneys and such who are not rich, did not go to elite schools, and their entire salaries are paid at the expense of the "working class". Stop acting like only Wall Street Harvard graduates benefit. It makes you look silly.

    Now, on physician pay, that is another story, but unless they are fresh out of residency, odds are they are not going to be getting this relief to begin with.

    Of course the lawyer and the Doctor would take it fresh out of school before their income level would preclude them from doing so. That is the regimes intent. To make waitresses and factory workers pay it in their place

    Nobody is paying anything close to what is being claimed. This is no different than writing off bad debt when someone defaults on other types of credit. The money was spent years ago.

    Except that here the debt isn’t bad. It’s that Biden is using our tax dollars to pay for political patronage for his political allies so that they can be excused of debt obligations they could pay for

    Understand the difference between Progressivism (basically an archly conservative quasi-religion), and PROGRESS. One is a noun, the other is a verb.

    The verb progress, means forward momentum. An advantage to the human condition. It does not suggest ANY specific method, ideology, or source. It makes no difference if that momentum and advantage are derived from some ancient principle, or some new principle. If it aids the human condition, or resolves a problem of the human condition, it's progress. True progressives don't care what the source is, as long as it's a win for humanity.

    A Progressive, on the other hand, is stuck within the tight limits of their ideology. They're not capable of accepting forward momentum/human advantage unless its source is their increasingly archaic and fixed ideology. This makes them effectively resistent to progress. IOW conservative.

    Either way, a lot of community college plumbers, auto body people, machinists and they like will be getting a free lunch. How they express their gratitude, if any, is up to them

    How does a refund on college loans benefit "plumbers. auto body people, machinists" and such? People go to college to become engineers, doctors, lawyers, astronauts, and such... not to become plumbers.

    They think that those who go to Jr college or a trade school to advance their careers are going to be hip deep in debt and grateful to dear leader uncle Joe for no real help while they bail
    out the elite

    Yep, every chance - and entirely true.

    Rightists are the 21stC liberals. Leftists are the 21st conservatives.

    Aww .. you still living like it's 1999, CB?

    Vintage stylings can be great fun, but it's important to come back to the present now and then.

    Should we expect more from the head of an international bribery ring that Biden unconstitutionally shoveling cash to his supporters and hiding behind redactions as he sacks the home of a political opponent?

    Congressman Byron Donalds drops a truth bomb

    'Congressman Byron Donalds could give a master class in truth bombs. A first term Republican from Florida’s 19th Congressional district, he absolutely destroyed the liberal policies that have led to the explosion in inflation. His focus was on Biden’s labor policies and government support for indolence:'

    [​IMG]

    'Democrats have blamed Americans’ reluctance to reenter the labor force on the lack of “good jobs.” Not jobs–there have been plenty of those, with employers practically begging people to return to work. Wages have been skyrocketing but a lot of people have just opted out of working.'

    'Donalds points out the obvious: government has been paying people not to work, and as always people respond to incentives. Even in the many cases that government support doesn’t nearly match what people can make it wages should they choose to gain employment, it often makes sense to take the free money and run.'

    He's right,
