I try and bring up how he ruined free in state tuition in the name of hippie bashing when he was California’s governor often, but don’t exactly have the biggest platform.
“Worst of all, these students’ sense of the future is constrained by planning for and then paying down their student loans, often for decades. Economists are waking up to the fact that when young Americans enter the workforce burdened with over a trillion dollars in cumulative debt, they become risk averse, unwilling to move, less able to make major purchases, and slower to become homeowners. Not coincidentally, they don’t feel safe enough to register any major protests against the society that’s done this to them.”
Damn.
i am reblogging again because….. fuck ronald reagan forever and ever and ever and ever.
Economists should be adept in their fields, how are they only now realizing that paying off our student debt is a fucking priority over anything else other than food?
Weird, it’s almost like there’s something missing from the study of economics.
Who would have possibly thought that a young generation owing trillions of dollars could have a negative effect on the economy?
HIM DYING ONCE WAS NOT ENOUGH
Damn him to the Nine Hells.
Like, less anyone thinks that this is too harsh because they don’t think this is a bad enough thing for Reagan to have done, let’s also not forget the blood on his hands over the harm he caused to the LGBTQIA community
Or the little matter of him and Ollie North committing treason against the American people in order to continue illegally funding a terrorist organisation that murdered children, killing innocent civillians including the sick and the injured and raped god knows how many
Ronald Reagan was a fucking monster devoid of any humanity or worth
And let’s not forget the fact that he WRECKED unions in this country. We have so few unions left because of how he basically shattered union bargaining rights, so we can’t even ask for a fair wage to pay off our crippling debt.
Ronald Reagan was basically one of the single WORST presidents of the entire 20th century
And he was certainly THE worst president of the entirety of the latter half of the 20th century
And yet the Republicans still wank themselves raw over how amazing this failed actor and all around disgustin human being was.
Not just republicans, my democrat mother will not hear a cross word against this fucker. May wherever he is now be filled with dull, red-hot knives dipped in tabasco
Abusive men pave the way for lazy men to get wives and girlfirends.
Lemme clarify, how many times have you heard your overworked female friends and relatives say “Yeah, Jerry drinks beer every evening after work while I cook dinner and clean up after everyone and does the bare minimum to help me raise the kids but he’s such a nice guy. He’s never beat me in my life. I couldn’t ask for a better guy in my life.”
Like no, Sally, your husband is a common stone among turds and you know it.
The bill goes on to the Senate, where many are saying it’s dead on arrival. Regardless, we need to send a message to House Republicans that they’ll pay for their “YES” votes by losing their seats. Here’s what you can do:
After you’ve done that, you can contact your Senators. Use the same website listed first above (Contacting Congress) to find your two Senators. Give them a call, show up at their town halls, and donate to their Democratic opponents if they indicate that they’ll vote for TrumpCare.
The only way we’re going to take down this bill is if we keep the pressure on the GOP and let them know that voting for it will result in them losing their seats.
