There’s always socialism-looking more attractive since they don’t have Biden to forgive their loans.

I never once had to do that either! Yes, I was buying little tins of spaghetti sauce and boxes of spaghetti for all my meals at one point...or going to the salad bar and eating a massive salad that would tide me over for a day or two...never once would I have stooped to food stamps.

“WHY? Why are college students on Food Stamps???!!! I never was.”

Same here. I worked during the school year and summers. I also paid off my college loans within two years of graduating. The same for my kids. There is no reason for any college student to rely on government assistance or to default on student loans.

On Monday, at A&P, day old french bread was always on sale at a ridiculous cheap price. It was right next to the bin of dented vegatable cans.

The french bread and some cheese was lunch for the week

AP sets the standard for leftist/rat propaganda. The worst.

Not much about colleges are what they once were when people earned their way.

None of us with any dignity were! It seems the days of the classic Starving College Student are long, long gone. For young, able-bodied people (like most, but not all students) work of some kind is available. I worked in a tire shop, did landscaping for a few older folks, worked in a print shop, delivered parts, worked in a gas station (which included cleaning alot of restrooms...), a plant nursery, etc. Just like most of my friends did. When times were tough, we ate potatoes. Once ate nothing but for three days, baked, mashed, fried, every which way. No big deal. Felt a little sorry for myself, but never once thought about going on the dole. Just not an option.
