    A generation of people got fucked with student loan debt. It is wrong. Debt forgiveness does not fix the root of the problem though. Government needs to find a way to lower post secondary costs.

      Sure.

      lower post secondary costs

      um. No; Free Education. Free education fixes the root of the problem.

        It’s always an interesting balance the conservatives try. They want a strong country and economy. But they also want to keep religious opinions respected above science and exclusive access. Education is the best means of truly making America Great. If every American was educated and had the ability to learn critical decision making, conservatives would be a true minority.

          Conservatives already are a true minority.

          Conservatives have not won the popular vote in a presidential election since 1988 with one exception (Bush Jr.'s reelection during the post-9/11 surge of patriotism). So, in the last 8 presidential elections over the course of 32 years, conservatives won the popular vote once (edit: and I’d argue that even that win was an aberration caused by 9/11 and the Bush administration’s misinformation campaign regarding WMD’s in Iraq).
