@BoomerDivvies Depends on the degree. I told my kids I wouldn’t pay for degrees that lead to low paying, or no job at all, like liberal arts or business.
Not everyone can pay for their kid’s college, that’s obvious.
But the ones who can and choose not to, while pretending it’s moral high ground, are lying to themselves.
Paying for your children’s university education is a parental responsibility.
$150,000 a year sounds like a lot until it has to cover a mortgage or rent, health insurance, childcare, groceries, car payments, taxes, and whatever debt it took to get there.
In a lot of America, that income is not rich anymore. It is the new version of stable if nothing goes wrong.
Question for all the liberals out there….
-When gas drops to $2 a gallon
-When victory is declared over Iran
-When the fentanyl stops flowing into the country
-When inflation comes down
-When the cost of housing drops
-When you’re taking home more of your paycheck
-When you’re paying less in taxes
-When our streets are safer from criminals
Will you thank President Trump then?
@WallStreetMav It depends on the degree. Law, Medicine, Engineering, STEM degrees are worth it.
Liberal Arts will a concentration in Advanced Gender studies and a minor in salamander farming not so much.
Most people are coming to the realization that many university degrees are worthless, or at least not worth 4 years of your productive life and not worth $100,000 to $200,000 in debt.
Looking back at your degree, was it worth it? Or was it just a good time for a few years? Would you do it again?
My degree was a complete waste of money (business school) and I ended up in a career that didn’t require it at all.
@Poor_Richard@glennbeck@EmmaJoNYC I agree, but the terms of the loans are downright predatory. People end up owing 3-5 times more than they borrowed. That’s not right.
There is a reason student loan debt can’t be forgiven in a bankruptcy filing. The government literally owns you.
How did Mamdani even win in New York? @EmmaJoNYC explains what she's seen:
“It’s third-world immigrants and millennial yuppies who didn’t get the life that they were promised when they took out 6 figures of debt to go to University. They never got their high-paying job or the lifestyle that they thought would correspond with that job. They’re really resentful, and because they didn’t get that stuff, they had to tear apart Park Avenue and tear apart Fifth Avenue because those people have it."
We actually had an incredible opportunity to make remote work the global standard, and we blew it.
What really happened? Why did so many companies go back to the office?

According to reports, NFL reporter Diana Russini is now looking ahead rather than back, with her attention firmly on what comes next.
What should her next position be?
I’m not sure how much longer Americans are going to handle rising prices… I can say with certainty that:
My gasoline bill has doubled
My electrical bill increased significantly
Rent still hasn’t come down/stabilized
Interest rates are still sky-high
Meat/groceries are unaffordable
Health insurance premiums rising again
Home prices are outrageous & rising
Car prices are still outrageous and rising
And the wild part is that nobody seems to be doing anything to fix a single problem…
She seems to be a huge failure I keep seeing post after post and either she’s not paying attention or she’s part of the problem either way Trump needs to have his attention turned to this as he has been flooded with everything else going on but she is doing anything to fulfill his desires to fix the education system
🚨 Wanna puke?
Jennifer Mnookin is the president of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her salary is $892,000 with a bonus of $150,000 for no particular reason.
She pinky-swore to the Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, that she'd hire ONE, just one, conservative professor in order to continue receiving $816 MILLION in federal funding. She never hired one.
$816 MILLION was still shoved into the sweaty hands of her campus.
In July, she'll begin her new job as the President of Columbia University, with a salary of $3 million and perks that would make you throw up.
American taxpayers are being fleeced for this garbage.
@GilRGlover@texasrunnerDFW@elonmusk DOGE exposed the tip of the iceberg to government waste and fraud.
Most of the U.S. debt is due to fraud and abuse of incompetent politicians.
That’s a fact.
Our government is corrupted beyond repair. Everyone knows that
@texasrunnerDFW@elonmusk You lose me there. DOGE did a lot of damage to the U.S. government. Never mind the specifics of what was cut (or "diverted"), it was very likely unconstitutional - still being litigated. DOGE was an abuse of Executive branch power - just turn shit over to an oligarch donor.
What people who want to cancel property taxes are really advocating for is higher sales taxes and higher income tax
The burden of both those is disproportionately carried by young, working families at the height of their income and consumption stage in life
@texasrunnerDFW Absolutely. People who don’t spend meaningful shouldn’t be forced to pay taxes.
The flat tax is best solution. No writeoffs for billionaires
This fraud was asked in every pre election interview, “How will you pay for all of these “free” programs you’re proposing?”
He never gave a straight answer. He just insisted, we will get it. Now? He’s crying about a budget crisis. NYrs are idiots.
@BreitbartNews@RyanGirdusky To be clear… New York City has a bigger budget than the entire state of Florida, despite being a fraction of Florida’s population.
Considering what we saw in Minnesota… The question of fraud certainly crosses my mind.
Why is New York City’s budget so massive?
WARMTH OF COLLECTIVISM UPDATE: Mayor Zohran Mamdani declares a "budget crisis," asks for a bailout from the state government, and pushes back his deadline for completing the city budget at least 10 days:
"We cannot close this deficit with savings alone. We need new revenue, and we need a structural reset in our relationship with the state. That is the only way to meet our legal obligation to pass a balanced budget."
