WBTlove Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) 24 minutes ago, Communion said: This is a fallacy. Inaction over student debt is not a logical or fathomable solution to the disproportional wealth that some* Americans enjoy. If you're concerned about wealth the US hoards, then you'd be supporting action to end various sanctions and trade agreements that see the US profit off of continued exported labor. Rich Americans disproportionately are able to attain education with little-to-no debt. Poor Americans are forced to a kind of modern serfdom that nullifies the proclaimed purpose of higher education, which is upward mobility. *And the way race impacts these realities cannot be understated, aka why black-identifying immigrants within America have a higher median income and rate of educational attainment than US-born black Americans. If you're concerned about those outside of the US, are you calling for changes to immigration law that de-prioritizes wealth and "skilled" labor? The US doesn't open its door to the world's poorest. It opens its borders most often via modern immigration policy to the world's richest, which is how the below comes about: No one is buying these fallacies to defend Biden if he fucks up. Student debt relief is most popular amongst black American voters, with millions citing it as their reason for voting in both the 2020 general election and the 2022 midterms. And it makes sense why. We should probably make sure it happens if we actually care about winning elections. You of course can disagree, but the base of the Democratic party has agreed that student debt relief is crucial to income equality and are expecting Biden to find some way to do it or else. Again, unless you’re telling me that there’s no anti black racism & discrimination overseas and that African/Latin/Caribbean/European blacks are wealthier than US black, my point remains: The price of our education is an investment that paid off.

My point before you jumped in was that Biden did not run on it to start with. It’s not too much to ask than asking people to educate themselves on a topic if they are gonna come in a threads to distribute - or +, then rant on an issue. 3. Even if they don’t cancel the debt, it would still have been a good investment. Edited June 13, 2023 by WBTlove

Musing about other countries won't stop the majority of Biden voters from expecting him to make due on his promises that got him elected. Edited June 13, 2023 by Communion

The tuition payment for Mathematics and certain Social Sciences is nearly the same but the job market is radically different. I agree with this extremely expensive tuition that is in America, even seeking a Bachelor Degree in History is pointless. You might end up doing something completely unrelated with your degree and in debt. If you're very wealthy and can afford tuition like shaking hands it's another thing.

Do you want US education system to collapse? Do you know how hard some certain studying fields are?
