If anyone takes the time to talk to these people, or their younger siblings or parents, they will find out something
And, according to the FAFSA reps, college grads come out of school with ‘just’ $20,000.000 average debt ( they try to soften it). The government is in charge of student loans, now. The department of education is in charge of student loans. A guy says that to a group of parents who, likes md numbed robots, say nothing there is no reaction
The dept of education oversees tuition rates?
A rep tells us they’ll ONLY have an AVERAGE of $20G debt. And no one blinks.
The government has found a willing victim, if you ask me. If the parents of a group of private school (art and financially savvy) kids cant be wise how can kids be wise consumers?
The 25 year olds tell the real story.
$20G debt (average) $20G for a car, labor force participation rate pitiful, 25% of any paycheck TWENTY FIVE PERCENT goes to Social Security they will never ever see (this government just took away such promised benefits to war veterans, no one and no contract is sacred
These kids have to pay for Internet, phone and they’re facing no health care with a steep fine or health care at the highest rate of all demographics
They don’t know any of this until they’re 24 or so
They are very ill advised, and vastly taken advantage of and resented by older people who don’t know what to do with their own guilt but hate them
Voting age should go back to pre Viet nam draft guilt age 21 with selective service voluntary at 18, and with it, the right to vote
You’ll see these stupid kids get out of ‘what kind of underwear do you wear, mr Clinton’ politics so fast it’ll curl your hair
They can’t have families and they are headed for very big financial troubl
Then there’s that growing $18 trillion debt they are responsible for
We are idiots who don’t care about the future. But we will MOT be the greatest generation at this rate. We’ll be lucky after dumping these kids in day care to this abuse, get a yearly visit on some urine seeped old folks institution
Forget it
Talk to these kids
“Talk to these kids”
These kids know everything, they won’t listen to anyone until they reach at least 30 years old, and some not till 40. And some not ever. They may be college educated but over half are still low information voters. I say let them stew in their own mess.
