@AverageJoe1 saidAll the honor in the world would not be enough honor to describe how incredibly brave you are for saying this. Planet earth should thank you for your very existence.
No it is not about me, it is that we are all so different, I just highlight it. Real different. So many ways.
Here is one to clear the air, an unquestionable fact.
It is a socialist idea that making a profit is a vice.
But, the REAL vice is making losses.
So take that and run with it, an interesting debate.. Or, you can pontificate that Trump is the cause o ...[text shortened]... nor Chicago mayor request to get the Guard out of Chicago. Very confusing stuff, going no where. .

@wildgrass saidI don't get you, but that is not new. Imagine y'all making comments like that if you were on a debate stage. Whew. What is with the angst and anger. it must come from TDS, with all due respects. I just don't get it. There are over 80M of us who y'all say want a dictatorship.

@AverageJoe1 saidYou and your 80 million deserve a dictatorship because you are the best, most deserving people who ever existed on this planet.

@wildgrass saidwhy can't you write like we are sitting at starbucks solving world problems? I will ask you if you should pay my child's college tuition loan, and you would give me a good coherent response. It might be hard for me to understand, but coherent, not something like sue. Then you ask me if there is anything that I like about Trump that You can agree with. And so it would go, like that.

@AverageJoe1 saidIf we're at a Starbucks I'll ask you if you think it's better leadership to surround yourself with critical thinkers or sycophants?

@wildgrass saidCritical thinkers of course. Those with safety and prosperity as two of their main goals, all the while enacting safeguards available to them. Ironic the word guard in the word safeguard, and also the word safe, seeing as how the news is full of people who do not want Guards in DC to keep us Safe.But that would certainly be another issue.

@AverageJoe1 saidGuards in DC are way too expensive. WRAP YOURSELF IN BUBBLE WRAP IF YOU FEEL UNSAFE, DON'T STEAL MY TAX DOLLARS WITH YOUR ABSURD OBSESSION WITH SAFETY.

Life's a scary place, get used to it, snowflake.
@wildgrass saidWhen, in your personal opinion, are we spending too much money for police/military protection?

How much is too much? The Chicago mayor wants to spend nothing on military protection. So you are in his camp?
@AverageJoe1 saidThe amount we're currently spending is too much. Have you heard the debt number? Gross.

@wildgrass saidI get you, you are saying in your opinion that it is too much. You also say the same thing about everything, such as debt, etc. Note that you do not say the $650B was too much to bail out losers with college tuition.

Point is, who's Ox gets gored. And like marauder, you say it is too much just offhand. How in the world do you know how much is too much when running a country like this.?
@AverageJoe1 saidI did not support the student loan forgiveness. But if you compare the two, at least the loan forgiveness plan was intended to shrink government. In stead of writing a check to the goobermint, these kids were writing checks to pay their mortgage or buy a car or go to the movies.

Putting the national guard to work landscaping and picking up trash in DC?. What a waste.

@wildgrass saidYour considered thoughts of letting the loser students keep the money that they wojld otherwise pay to reduce their loans......... a couple problems.

Those interviewed said...."don't tell wildgrass, but we are gong to BLOW our money!!!! Maybe ski the Alps!" oooohhhh, wildgrass......
AI:
After student loan forgiveness, 73% of borrowers plan to spend more on travel and dining out. Any day now, federal student loan borrowers throughout the U.S. could see their balances reduced by up to $20,000 thanks to President Biden's student debt forgiveness plan."
Next, remember one of your comrades (Mrdr, cant say his name) said that the payment of the loans would NOT cost ...The Govt? The Taxpayers"...Either?...
Both?....would not cost them anything. I think he was tipping a bit of scotch on that one.
Hey MOTT, just t'ween you and me....would blowing that money include recreational sex.....in the ALPS! for god sakes? Hell, I never got to do that. Why? Cause I did not have Marauder (oops) to pay for it!
@AverageJoe1 saidEating out helps the economy. Write a check to government bank does not.

It's that simple. But again, I didn't support the idea because I thought it was unfair to those who didn't go to college.
@wildgrass saidThankyou. You are leaning to common sense. Better than socialism…. I have six children in college. Surely you do not want to pay their tuition. So we can put that one to bed.

Now, Writing a check to a creditor who loaned you money!!!!(sorry, got too emotional) is, follow me here, is the act of paying back the money that you owed to the creditor, plus probably a bit of interest that he would have earned… Otherwise he would not have loaned it to you.. so we are good with that.
Finally, and not being flippant to you, but life is not fair. You use the word fair as if something should have happened so those people that did not go to college got to go to college. You are now going into a socialistic thought process??. This is a capitalistic society, each is born different, each have different paths of life. Frankly, that is what makes America so great.. I simply speak common sense.
