Also, why is raising taxes going to make students have to pay more debt?
This whole thing is confusing. I think they're looking at an issue that exists and assuming that it must be the fault of the people presently in the presidency.
I'm starting to think political cartoonists aren't the smartest people in the world.21 1 -

@Anonymous: that's a bad idea. universities are by and large completely failing to prepare young people for the work force. This is the core difference between right and left fiscal policy: The solution is not to make failure easier. The solution is to make success easier.
loan forgiveness is not the answer. Having more realistic (read: market equilibrium) standards for which degree programs receive loans in the first place is the answer.
You shouldn't be able to double major in poli sci and pottery unless your parents are rich as fuck or you're willing to pay the totally realistic ball crushing loans.2 -

@Anonymous: LOL because Republicans don't take up the legislation's time and money with pointless bullshit that takes a lot of money to enforce. Did we forget how much fucking debt went up during the Bush years, or has that just conveniently slipped out of your goldfish brains?

@Anonymous: So what exactly is stopping student loan companies/banks/etc from raising their prices. People not taking the loans?
But they have to if they want to go to college.
And if they don't go to college the banks win because they will be poor enough to exploit. -

@Anonymous: Have you ever noticed that countries that have public universities have more college graduates than countries with private universities?
And that those countries also have less national debt than the states? -

@Anonymous: The thing that really doesn't make sense is that the current National Debt is due mostly to George W. Bush who is a Republican. When Democrat Bill Clinton left office we had a projected surplus which was squandered on Tax Cuts for the rich (which were made retroactive btw) 2 wars in foreign nations and a give away to the pharmaceutical industry known as Medicare Part D.
Obama has added to it in an attempt to (slowly but successfully) clean up the mess, but his contribution pales in comparison to that of his predecessor.
Also Labor Unions pay taxes, reducing their hours and wages reduces the amount of income tax they pay. -

@Anonymous: Bush and Reagan are our National Debt.
Also WW2. We still had about a trillion dollars of debt from WW2 before we stopped lowering the debt and started raising it again. -
