i agree that kids are being overcharged for sometimes worthless degrees, but i will never agree that it is my job to pay for their mistakes.
besides that, i see kids buying starbucks with that "student loan" money.
nope, sorry. fuck off.

Because anyone half-way smart can earn TRIPLE by joining a tech company or a hospital instead of joining the military. It's a simple capitalist decision.
I'd care more about the young people if they weren't such gullible fools who blindly beg for their own enslavement and violently demand that those who are trying to keep freedom alive get gotten rid of so the ones wanting global tyranny rule unopposed.
I'd also care more about them if every time I saw some young puke talking on social media or the "news" they weren't talking a long streak about how much they hate me because of the skin I happened to be born in or the body I was born in that I accept, or demanding the government do bad things to me for thinking for myself and actually knowing what reality is. Oh and hating me for having worked hard my whole life to save and build up things and wanting the government to come take it all away at gunpoint (funny they hate me having guns but want the government to have guns to come take my stuff) on the odd chance it means a bit more for them.
While I'm not specifically saying this is you, here is what Can be safely applied as a broad brush to many young folks.
All this B.S. about "social justice" and "good socialism" that the young people lap up then vomit back out?
ALL you are doing is being the useful mob to help one group of elites take power from another group of elites.
The "new world" the pied pipers are promising all the young people with catchy slogans like "you will own nothing and you will be happy" and such... That is a new brutal world order that is very much like the old feudal order that young people who can't be bothered with history don't know about.
Giant global corporations run by the Super Elites will own everything with the blessing of the government and everybody else will be their slaves.
I'll bet they didn't mention that "insect protein" is actually not very compatible with humans and just like the "impossible meat" B.S. you're getting only a fraction of the actual clamed proteins into your body... but don't worry, the elites will eat the meat and good food while you get your gruel.
You'll get to live in some government approved hovel with barely any heat or cooling or light and walk or crowd onto public transport while the elites enjoy huge estates, private transportation and all the things you are now not allowed to have.
Now you can start with little and work hard and make something.
Under the new order, you will start with little, work hard and die with nothing
Young people whine and bitch about how they want their student loans "forgiven" at of course taxpayer expense... did they ever stop to think about why the cost of school was so high? Why the loans were so enslaving? Oh right all the democrats are the ones who voted for that (along with the rest of the politicians). You never see the Democrats actually saying hey this is a giant extortion plot designed to let our banking buddies get rich off the backs of the young and our politically connected "education" places get obscenely wealthy. I've yet to see one democrat actually say let's go back and fix the problem at the root by rewriting the insane loan terms the bankers got given as a corrupt gift from the government.
You don't see the Democrats asking why all these universities that are sitting on multi billon dollar endowments that could let them offer free education in perpetuity are jacking the cost of education at a staggering rate.
Nope it's all mean republicans who don't want to tax people even more to give free money to the big bankers and big educational corporations...
Sure I guess young women think the most important thing is to be able to kill their unborn children (or just born children, or even recently born children) as the ultimate end all and be all of women's rights.
I guess that makes up for living in fear of being raped, beaten, assaulted, kidnapped or murdered as crime spirals out of control thanks to the democrats they put in power... but hey at least you can get that abortion if you aren't killed when you are raped and robbed...
Young folks think it's so old fashioned to want to have families and children and such, well selfish fucks, who do you think is going to be around to do all the work, pay all the taxes and do all the caretaking when you get old? All those illegal immigrants? HA!
Oh wait, you think the Global Elites will be taking care of you for free with robots or something....
Enjoy watching Logan's Run play out in real life, you will have deserved it...
At this point in time the young people are pushing so hard for a new nightmare world, I almost want them to enjoy having it as long as I can sit off in the distance and laugh at their cries and suffering as they realize way too late what they actually demanded.
Mac, you grew up in good times when there was no offshoring, no outsourcing, no China. My generation has more people from immigration willing to work for less, and fewer opportunities after offshoring and outsourcing.
Noob I came out of school in 1979 and worked through the early 80's, it gave me a perspective on economics and personal responsibility that can only be had by going through it. You think you have things tough read a little history of the 80s or just hang on because you are about to live it first hand. I can still remember car loans at 18%, unemployment was high and unions going on strike putting manufacturers out of business.
W54, I lived in a college dorm and took classes with hundreds of other people. I can confirm that none of us want to eat insect proteins; we all like steak even though it may be cooked Korean Bulgogi style. We all want big houses and want to find a hot spouse. There are some gay dudes and weed smokers on campus, but they are less than 10%.
Things are not totally out of hand as pundit have you believe.
The 80s interest rates and unemployment sounds alarming and I must confess I don't know much about this. I wonder why this is not discussed more in media, because it sounds very similar to what we are about to go through again.
Maybe. I will offer you a bit of advice. Life Sucks sometimes. I'm dealing with a granddaughter that feels as you do. She has the same view of things as was mentioned in other above posts. It's a generational thing. She even told me the other day, "There's got to be more to life than just working!" I said.."You don't say, really. It took your G-pa over 50 years to finally start enjoying the fruits of his labor". These are the cards we/you are dealt, now play your hand. Maybe the dealer will throw you a winner, maybe not.
But, always keep an eye on your chips. There's no ATM at this casino. Mac
With all the money .gov waste its not the worst they could be spending it on. Im against it because i think it encourages people to waste 4 years + in school with no real goals or directions. If you dont have a career in mind before you graduate high school you probably shouldn't go to college especially expecting someone else to pick up the tab. Also the majority of my friends are college graduates and not many do better then me wiyh my 8th grade education. Driven people will be successful regardless of the obstacles and lazy, whiney, complacent people won't be regardless of the opportunity.
So....the valve has a leak.
Your solution is to open the valve because, "fuckit, its leaking anyway".
Got it.
Saw this morning where one writer (on another forum) was questioning why the people in Cuba were protesting their government and wanting to come to the United States when “they have it so much better than we do.”
Its a sad world.
Y’all boomers and other old people need to look in the mirror.
You let the .gov indoctrination camps get so f ed up that they turn out these little commies en masse
Welcome to understanding the life of the average Man ever since the curse.
You want the erasure of "gender roles" and "true equality" well have fun shouldering the curse Men live under.
I don't hear many women offering much sympathy for the average working man, husband and father that has to work themselves to the bone to provide a decent life for their families and children.
You are all living through the largest psyop in history
And it never ends, until death, or if we are lucky, a few years of retirement before death.
Then why are you looking for loan handouts? Get to work making fools of us.
It’s called human history. The younger tend to ignore it until it begins to crush them. The older are not just mean, they got cranky from being constantly fucked around.
I'm not a weed guy at all (makes me paranoid) but I often think how R's could have easily turned the tides had they gone heavy pro legalizing all drugs 10 years ago.
I know tons of dems that vote single issue for weed the way I vote single issue for guns.
Had the GOP simply choosen it's battles more wisely and softly pivoted towards libertarian positions things would look way different.

This was a kid that I watched grow up, in which mom/dad gave her everything she wanted. I always spoke out about it, to no avail. A monster was created. I believe this is what has happened to the last couple of generations. We always want our kids to have more than we had. But, maybe, we went too far. We have failed our kids, even though, I didn't give mine everything they wanted, being X Gens and all. and they have failed theirs. Progression is a bitch and I guess, we ARE paying for it now.
Mac
I'm not mad there was stop put on the relief however, I have paid more in taxes this year alone than what the loan relief would provide. The government would be using my money to pay my loans back.
Don't be so smug Jefe. I know more about the 80s things than what you know about 2022 things, like "real Ahegao".

Well, he gets it..........what about the people who are paying taxes to pay back loans that we don't have ?
Extending your logic, we should gut Social Security and Medicare handouts and push the boomers in the fighting pits. Because that's where most of my taxes are going right now, and both programs will be bankrupt long before I hit 60.
Nothing about welfare ?
We are on SnipersHide. No one is arguing PRO welfare here.
What I am saying is that 18-25 are critical if R wants to be relevant in 10 years.
"but you don't want young people to get a chance"
You've got to be kidding me, you don't just get a chance handed to you on a platter you earn your chance, you need to set a goal for your future and work your ass off to accomplish your goal, that's what I did. That's what is wrong with a lot of younger folks not all but a lot, they just want shit handed to them "come on man just give me a chance" I'm sure a lot if not most of the members of this forum like me worked our asses off our entire lives to reach that goal and never got a handout never wanted one never needed one. Shit I'm still working my ass off and will probably never quit and I still don't want or need a handout.
I thought you were college and indoctrinated but you don’t understand what “most”
Means
You boomers need to get over yourselves. It’s not the same today. Between taxes and inflation. Plus if your a white male your bottom of the list for hiring
Yeah, I get it. Just like me, I receive 2 Fed retirements and 1 state. I played to pay. Some would say, that I don't deserve my Fed. retirement, or my state, for that matter. But, while I worked shitty hours, in shitty places, for shitty wages, I still had to pay .gov for the privilege. For 48 years, .gov stole from me (F they're still stealing from me, and I'm almost 65), or maybe, they promised me something in return for my effort. The problem was, .gov didn't invest my money, and many, many others money, they squandered it. I think Wade2Big had it right on this one, it was all a Ponzi Scheme.
You gotta do what you feel good about. I just don't believe in the free shit route.
I was lucky. I had enough intelligence and brawn to make it in life and the challenges that were set in front of me. Mac
Let me do math for you using your own pie chart:
Social Security 20% + Healthcare 22% + Safety Net 13% + Retirees 7% = 62%.
62% is what any sane person would call "most".
Dude you joined 5 days ago and you are arguing against everyone on all sides. Are you a troll or something?
You are retarted. The safety net and a big chunk of SS and Heathxare are welfare
I’m an independent anti big government thinker who calls bullshit when I see it
Except the electron results posts. I was trying to picture myself as a commie there.
College expenses skyrocketed after government started underwriting loans. Colleges offer useless degrees for people who think a degree will be a balm for their self esteem issues.
Same thing happened with healthcare, and other areas.
The negative consequence of government action is always being fixed by more government.
They outlined the plan in the 60s, the Cloward-Piven strategy, spend the country into bankruptcy, then claim socialism is the cure.
We can't beat that ideology by becoming it.
Your posts read like a Schizo or troll.
I already clarified my welfare stance here : https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/mules-redeployed.7147606/post-10558761
Whoa 577 pages! I will try to skim through it.
You've just started and like many other of your contemporaries you think you have it figured out.

The current shit economy is a direct result of too much free shit and people sitting around expecting more free shit. Of course turning off the oil spigot didn’t help the situation either, but hey, we must have a green energy policy, don’t we demoncrats? Why should I pay for someone else’s student loans? I‘be paid all my indebtedness and paid for my kids college education. I also did not receive a penny of “free” shit that has been given away the past three years, so don’t ask me to pay off your damn loans. I got to where I am by hard work, living within my means, and good investment habits. Leave it to some dumb old man that has lived his entire life on the government tit to even devise and orchestrate such a plan.
As far as farmers, if you think the government supports them too much then go borrow about 10 million dollars and become a government paid farmer. Just so you know, you won’t make enough money to pay half of your interest cost each year. It amazes me how everyone thinks the farmer is getting rich. If you think so, go get you some of it. I’m guessing you won’t care for the work involved either.
Just so you know inflation will continue, and the Fed will keep raising interest rates which will result in a full blown 80’s style recession. If you think times are tough now, wait about 12 months.

Gotta break it completely
To have the great reset
To Have full blown serfdom / NWO / etc
Why do you think they aren’t ?
The money you paid on was pissed away immediately. It was just a tax.
Because unless you're self employed half of your payment comes from your employer.
Nevermind per SS's own website today's contributions go to today's recipients, which means it's structured identically to the ponzi scheme that sent Bernie Madoff to prison.
I view it as my money because I've paid 10x that amount in taxes during my career thus far so I don't see it as free for me. Now other people who don't pay taxes and get a handout I have a problem with.
I have no problem with people who get a retirement except those in congress. Everyone else had to work for it.
I think it's shitty but let's be honest how much of our money is wasted? How much was sent to Ukraine? I would rather my tax money go toward an American than some transgender study in another country.
