(2,809 posts)There's a lot of pent-up frustration with governmental systems that only do lip service to the plight of starving students. I felt exactly as they do, often sleeping in my car to get through college, using the gym showers, working around the clock to finally earn the degree that allowed me to climb atop the vicious debt and poverty cycle. Meantime Ronnie Ray Gun's "It's been said I favor the rich, I don't deny it", followed by GW Shrub's Antoinette-esque "thousand points of light", and it seemed that finally paying off my student debt under the ministrations of the relief from economic recovery under Bill Clinton seemed so incremental. It took well over a decade for me to recover into the black, and only temporarily so as I lost my home and employment under the ineptitude of King George the Idiotic, and found myself losing all my retirement savings, selling a classic car and eating hot dogs until the tech market rebounded under Obama.
Kamala Harris' endorsement of Joe Biden solidified my choice for me. I'm still a bit frustrated that full-fledged socialist educational attainment still remains out of reach for millions of young folks, who are furiously working to climb atop such a stacked deck. Had it not been for California's 50 dollar a month tuition at community colleges, I'd likely still be driving ambulances for a pittance wage at 60 years old.
Frustration with only incremental relief from the "Let them eat cake" attitudes can produce tremendous amounts of hangry reactions from millions who are struggling and working hard just to make ends meet.
"You may say I'm a dreamer... but I'm not the only one".
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
