You're being bamboozled if you're labeling the republican party as the sole culprit.

You're reading that wrong or I wasn't clear.

I'm not saying the republican party is responsible for the debt crisis, I'm saying that the reason for the backlash against student debt forgiveness is that Republicans are making it an issue.

Nobody here is complaining about farmers getting subsidies. Im just saying that those people out in Wisconsin or wherever can pipe the fuck down if they are getting mad about debt relief for students.

Saying the government helps pick and chooses different professions all the time is a horrible way to compare one crisis they're actively fostering versus a more important goal of ensuring the country isn't fully dependent on food from other countries.

I understand that farmers are the most essential of essential workers but that really doesn't matter. The point was that there are a lot of professions that require college degrees that are critically important to our society and its a bad idea to let those professions go into shortages because the debt crisis is too big.

Regarding the underlying problem of the expense of college, I just don't know where you think you are going to take this conversation. I'd wager like 99.9% of people that support student loan relief also support free college.

But forgiving school loans does absolutely nothing to address the actual issue which, in your words, is predatory practices of student loans and college being fucking expensive. And everyone knows it but asks for it anyway.

Find me one person who supports debt relief and also doesn't support reducing the costs of college or free college.
