no, you cannot 'afford' anything when you're in debt. Nobody is being enslaved. A bad decision isn't a consequence. If there's if stupid doesn't hurt, then there's no reason to stop doing stupid things. A bad decision without consequence wasn't a bad decision.Yes words do have meanings and as I said bad decisions are a learning experience/consequence
Enslaving young people to a lifetime of usurious interest should be illegal
We definitely can afford it if we taxed properly and didn't spend stupidly
don't understand what that has to do with a 'right' to college.The ole pullup your bootstraps line
Your whole framing is wrong education should be a priority in society with universal accessno, you cannot 'afford' anything when you're in debt. Nobody is being enslaved. A bad decision isn't a consequence. If there's if stupid doesn't hurt, then there's no reason to stop doing stupid things. A bad decision without consequence wasn't a bad decision.
why is college a priority? Why does making college a priority mean overpaying for it?Your whole framing is wrong education should be a priority in society with universal access
You emoji smiled at...don't understand what that has to do with a 'right' to college.
I think a lot of people are confusing their sense of entitlement with a 'right' to those entitlements.
ahhhh.You emoji smiled at...

Ya not sure what happenedYou quoted me.
So how's it gonna work in debt cancellation?
250,000 school for 4 years...
Is there a limit on the price that will get canceled?
How will you determine the limit? If not how do you stop schools from raising the price because someone else is paying the bill? If a school is over that limit, won't the student in AOCs referenced video still be prevented from going to her "dream school"? If you're going to implement cost controls how you maintain quality of that school that currently cost $250,000?
Ya not sure what happened
Are you asking what Bernie's plan is or what I would do?
I don't know anything about aoc plan let me look into it and I'll post later tonightWhat's the current plan? As I posted in my comment.
Both Bernie and AOC support debt cancellation and continued free schooling. She gives this example so I'm asking about how this example plugs into the plan this thread is talking about.
Well the jokes on you.Joking
I agree we can "afford" it. I put afford in quotes because we are monstrously in debt, but we find money for plenty of frivolous shit, so yeah - the money is there.We definitely can afford it if we taxed properly and didn't spend stupidly
We just keep adding and adding to the credit card (national debt). I complained when Obama did it and I am complaining that Trump is doing it.I agree we can "afford" it. I put afford in quotes because we are monstrously in debt, but we find money for plenty of frivolous shit, so yeah - the money is there.
But I would also categorizefreetaxpayer funded college as "spending stupidly"
We need Slick Willie in there again. He was too busy worrying about getting his dick wet to spend money he didn't have.We just keep adding and adding to the credit card (national debt). I complained when Obama did it and I am complaining that Trump is doing it.
I’ve had the most success under Bill and Trump. It pains me to admit that about Slick Willie but financially it was a good time.We need Slick Willie in there again. He was too busy worrying about getting his dick wet to spend money he didn't have.
Why?Your whole framing is wrong education should be a priority in society with universal access
no, the money is not there. Just because we keep telling ourselves that the money is there and spending like the money is there doesn't make the money there.I agree we can "afford" it. I put afford in quotes because we are monstrously in debt, but we find money for plenty of frivolous shit, so yeah - the money is there.
