It’s not even that expensive to go to community college for two years and then a state college for two years. You guys are completely delusional and disconnected from reality.
Even with books and the price where it’s at now, it’s about 35,000 dollars. When I went it wasn’t too much cheaper. That’s without any aid or scholarships. A Pell Grant would give you about half these days. It’s easy to get 2k from state scholarships. You’re probably looking at 18k conservatively. I got a few other scholarships/grants and only needed to pay 12k. I put 500 aside every month for two years. If you can’t find that money you are living above your means.
Most of the people looking for relief went to a nice state college for 4-8 years and used loans to live on campus. I’m more than happy to review full debt relief for disadvantaged people. I’d donate to fund that. I’m not sacrificing my son’s future to have some white kid who makes 125k annually doesn’t have to pay back the party loan he took and his parents have the ability to pay off.
All I had to do was pour concrete for two years before I went and live well within my means. Done. Paid for. The people who took the loans were lazy and chose the easy route. They wilfully ignored the obvious signs that it was predatory. Now they want to make the situation worse and have lower classes pay for their loans and compound the issue for our children. Most of them are white kids with well off parents who could afford it if they wanted to. This is a wealth transfer from the poor and middle class to wealthy white people.
