"Both sides" is such an absurd claim these days. It's like saying that a murderer and a jaywalker are both criminals, so they're basically the same.

- MisterMower 7d agoYou’re right, the “both sides” claim really doesn’t work here. Biden’s student loan forgiveness would have amounted to a gift of potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars to his most ardent supporters: young, college educated, poor people. Trump’s proposal is a fraction of that, and all Americans would be eligible. If he’s trying to buy votes, he’s going to need to try a lot harder. This proposal is nothing like Biden’s vote buying scheme.
- bmitc 7d agoHave you missed where Trump himself and many of the wealthiest people in the U.S. have had integer multiples of their wealth over just the past couple of years? > young, college educated, poor people Oh yea, you're correct, who needs those? Let's feed the 0.01%.
- Arodex 7d agoFunny that you wake up and rise only now. Where was you righteous indignation when Republicans promises tax cuts? Can you point me to your contemporary reaction to "no tax on tips"? What made you react only now?
- bmitc 6d agoExactly. And by doing so, we slowly allow jaywalkers to become murderers but still viewed as "oh, it's just another person jaywalking again".
