student debt

nowhere special
McDonald's isn't hiring college grads lol. The universities keep upping their costs because money to pay for it is easy to obtain. But those going to college should've figured out a long time ago that there was no guarantee of a high paying job waiting for them upon graduation. Called doing your due diligence. Economics 101. You can't go from a manufacturing economy to a service economy and expect to have as many well paid opportunities as before. This has devastated our middle class. However if they choose to get training in a trade, get their hands dirty, there still is some opportunity out there. Might mean they won't be able to rub shoulders with the elites.
Too many degrees are worthless pieces of paper you can hang on your wall. You can easily self educate yourself but won't get those fancy letters after your name. My niece is graduating with a doctorate in physical therapy next week. Because of credential creep she went straight from an undergraduate degree to a doctorate program.

Kill the unions by moving manufacturing overseas. Then take out as many high paying middle management jobs as possible. Next is AI and automation that will eliminate both white and blue collar jobs. Import millions of people who'll compete for the remaining manual labor jobs and keep pay low. And sooner or later we'll have a huge societal upheaval. People fall for "Trump is this, Trump is that" and don't realize he was the one president we've had trying to prevent this stuff.

We work at ups and Trump would get rid of the union if given the opportunity. I wouldn’t be surprised though if ups inside work just becomes all automated.

What would they protest? their own naïveté in taking loans out they should not have? The same people you say should fix it, are the ones that broke it. the government guaranteed these loans and now it is no longer a free market, the schools don’t have to worry about giving a good education at a reasonable price because they’re going to get paid no matter what.
they can say we want banks to write off the debt for housing and banks will pay for it. thats worth 375,000 for each person.

the fact that student debt and CC debt is so high tells me that people cant self regulate.

i was talking to french chef down the street, he says france is not based on debt the way we are here.

Why should people people pay back money they chose to borrow like they legally agreed to?

Do you really not know the answer to this question?

bc its bad economics to have a high cost economy. another country that funds education will out compete you because their industry can pay less to workers. having people in debt also disincentivizes unionization so it weakens labor. and debts always expand faster than an economys ability to repay them.

No because it wouldn’t be allowed.a Guy like that hates union
So you're speculating on what he might do given the opportunity rather than what he did. What he actually did was work on border security. Not only the wall but his pressure on Mexico to assist us brought illegal crossings way down. He greatly reduced redundant regulations which hampered business growth. Reduced corporate taxes too. That greatly increased growth, hiring. Increased opportunities for college grads. He greatly improved our military. Insisted our NATO partners pay their fair share. Insisted China open up their market to our goods to reduce the huge trade imbalance. This was a guy fighting for our country while having Democratic politicians and the liberal media desperately trying to get rid of him. The last thing they want is a successful capitalist running the country. Makes their big government agenda obsolete. So we got constantly bombarded with lies. These aren't people concerned about what's best for the country. It's about their power. Nothing more.

trump continued the bankruptcy of america by maintaining the empire. he was terribly corrupt. yea he passed tax cuts for the rich. dont think he did too good on the trade war with china. he replaced the swamp with his own swamp creatures.

Dude trump is a business owner. Anybody that is in charge of a business is going to absolutely hate a union. Trump can’t stand unions. Trump being this savior is the most bizarre thing to me.

its plainly obvious too. good reason to not vote for them. unless its ron paul, he was honest even though i disagreed with his domestic policy. i like justin amash too but he quit which is telling
I’m quite surprised you like Ron Paul, he was about liberty, you don’t espouse much of that. You want the “elite” to take care of everything for you. When you ask them to do that they will “take care of you” all right just not the way you think.
