 More Pa colleges added to the list for low income.                                                                                                                                                   https://www.bestcolleges....r-low-income-students/

Porktown is correct when he stated the real problem is the high cost of a college education.  It is just a microcosm of unchecked runaway capitalism/corporate greed that is destroying our nation. 
 
The inflation surge may have been primed by covid 19 shutdowns, but since then price gouging has taken over.  I view the student debt relief plan not as reimbursing bad decisions, but as providing help to recent grads struggling with costs unrelated to their decisions.  Have you seen the cost of rent recently?
 
Going back to the college costs, anyone who had their kid go thru college recently knows how much of a scam it is.  My son graduated from Penn State in 2021.  Here are just some examples of greed that irked me.

• He entered Penn State as an honors student, which came with a $2500 scholarship per year, which he was told would continue every year if he maintained his honors status.  Even though he maintained his honor status no more scholarships occurred because "there were more honor students than anticipated and the limited funds earmarked went to higher grade point average students".
• Two semesters were virtual classes only because of covid.  Tuition pricing unchanged.
• Senior year "job fair" was cancelled due to covid 
• He never met his academic advisor, since the professor cancelled the appointment on (4) different occasions.
• Book store had a sign behind the counter stating "We price match Amazon prices".  Every semester they gave him a hard time matching prices, stating they "are trying to make money here" 
• He was the first to move out of his dorm room for his sophomore summer break.  Since there was food left in the fridge after all students left, Penn State charged every student $50 to clean out fridge.
• There was a community kitchen in his dorm.  At the end of one semester, there were dishes left in the sink so they charged every student in the building $20 to clean the sink.
• One professor missed (5) classes over the semester.  To make it up to the students, he stated he made the final exam very easy so everyone would pass.

Since the total cost of this scam was $130K, I have no qualms about him getting $10K debt relief.

Student loan forgiveness was ANOTHER example of the Left buying votes with taxpayer monies. Another example is the open border. Another example is Black Lives Matter and Antifa. Did I type that out loud? Pay your debts like the rest of us. Adulting is hard.

You guys do realize the loan forgiveness was 10k and up to 20k for borrowers who received pell grants, with an income limit right?
There wasn't any smartie pants college school boys gettin' 150k forgived by Dark Brandon. 

It was slated to be a one time forgiveness plan. Hopefully, it would have, or still can further the conversation of how expensive secondary education is for a person. It's an absolute joke. 

I'm pretty annoyed with Dark Brandon's crew on this one. I haven't had time lately, but why wasn't this pushed through congress/senate in 20-22? When control was had? I assume the Manchin/Sinema factor would have shut it down or been a huge obstacle but like, c'mon. Get the party in order ffs, Dems aren't the GOP. It's frustrating now to see "Oh the GOP controlled Supreme court yada yada" stuff. 
Wow - fire burned you when you touched it, what did they think was gonna happen? 
 
It's clearly a ploy to buy votes for Dems. And good for them - they should look to buy votes. The NRA's been buying votes for how long now?

To quote Old Joe - "come on. The hypocrisy is stunning."

 The relief plan didn't pass. The Dems will still benefit from it, maybe even more now that it got shut down? Pretty smart move on the Dems part to get young educated people to vote for them. 
 
   The wealthy took advantage of this payout greatly

Gen Z > Boomers, jus say'IN.

Laughable at best 

Prior to this current legislation working its way through (PSU and Pitt portion just denied but still working on a solution), PA was 49th in the country in funding per in state student in the country. I am not sure with this legislation, likely 45-46. Forcing Pitt (ranked around 62 best in country and Penn State ranked around 75) to charge as much or more than most of the top 50 schools in the country. The only two schools in PA actually worth their tuition are Penn and CMU that aren’t PA funded. Unless you are a certifiable genius or your dad buys your way in, you are forced to completely overpay in PA. To a point where it is financially a better move to pay out of state tuition for a top 50 school and ends up costing less for most. PSU and Pitt would both be in the top 50 with how much they charge, if PA were just to invest in the median of the country, yet in the top 15, like PA is in population and income. Strong education brings in high paying jobs to the state. The investment has been one of the most proven strategies of return on taxpayer invested funds of anything.

Maybe voting age, do they vote? If every D and every R voted, there wouldn’t be an R party in 2-3 elections. The Ds just happen to put Hillary and Joe as their candidate and people don’t show. Lucky for Biden, he was running against the Dotard, so people showed up. Just like they will if cult pushes him through again.

Reliable or not, next to none are voting for an R.

However there is some data that suggests millennials aren’t shifting rightward as they get older, at least not as much as previous generations.

Far too early for that. Most Gen Xers that I know have only slightly leaned right the past few years. Most only shifted right fiscally, socially are still left leaning. Although, the current “binary” stuff, I think even confuses much of the left leaning Gen Xers. Don’t get me wrong, I know a few culties from Gen X, but mental illness is real.

This is exactly why, for the life of me, I can't figure out why the party is so beholden to tRump. They need to go younger, saner, and more towards the middle of spectrum or its gonna be curtains for them.

He hates who they hate. It's as simple as that for 95% of them. 

 Yep

One of my favorite quotes. "When ideology does not agree with reality, it is reality that must change". Typical leftist younger generational thinking.
 
And oh, BTW, those 12 million jobs that Biden "created" in just two years? Nothing more than a Democrat talking point. The economy is "roaring" at slightly over 1%. 9.3 million of those "created" jobs were returns to folks' jobs after Covid. Geeze!! Even Canada's economy is growing at 3%, and we aren't even close. Let's go, Brandon!

That quote IS politics in general. When a party’s ideology isn’t met, when they get a majority they push party line legislation or stack courts in party line votes.

Are you disagreeing with Dardys on the massive amounts of high paying jobs for college graduates? Most jobs have nothing to do with who is in office or their policies. Brandon and Dotard have no control over the Federal Reserve. We can call it a free market, but Federal Reserve has a very heavy thumb on that free market. We are in a rolling recession and have been since covid.
