"Expand access to clean drinking water" is right on the propaganda page for it! Surely, with a trillion dollars already earmarked, we can find some for poor ol' Jackson, MS.

Assuming they are at a 7% tax rate, that’s $1400. Considering most Americans don’t even have $500 saved for an emergency, that will hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t their own residents pay for this? I pay my taxes and have good drinking water. Isn’t that the mantra we are supposed to preach per the cult? I’m not exactly sure where you’re going with this. One of the reasons we are a Union of States is so that weaker states can get assistance from stronger ones. But the intent wouldn’t be that a single State is weak on everything. You cannot pick out a single issue and point to it as an example of every issue. Some states have nearby rivers and ports, while others have rich farmland, etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Can someone explain to my why someone making $250k a year needs to have their student loan forgiven? I’m mean a real good reason other than “hey! The Dems need votes this November!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Buffalo Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I my extended family the only people who had more than 30k in student loans at any time are now doctors. Of the 40+ cousins almost all have college degrees from state schools and some of us had to do community college for two years. I will state that 95% of people that have 50k of debt made bad decisions that were easily predictable but they want others to pay for their stupidity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are truly poor then the amount of grants available are extensive. If you are poor, a first generation college student, and a good student then your education will be free to many quality schools. If you are simply poor and a decent student there is grants and work programs to get free room and board at community colleges, at least in Florida.
