Have I been out of the loop on politics?

Wasn’t it the Dems who voted to protect Union Pensions? Republicans voted against it.

Dems voted to extend the child tax credit this year. EVERY Republican voted against it.

And didn’t Kamala Harris run on helping with funding for first time home buyers?

When did the narrative of Dems being against the working class start? Was it just because Bernie said it recently?

      Isn’t that when student loans became bankruptcy proof and death or payoff became the only legal ways to be rid of them?

      Nvm those changes occured in different phases from 1976 through 2005.

        That was Bush I think, maybe Clinton.

        But Obama followed similar anti peasant practices.

        My gripe is that his loosey policy was essentially charity for schools since now they were able to charge whatever they wanted and they did.

        Millenials bags are super heavy. Many are unlikely to pay it off and will face a tax bill once the loans are forgiven once they turn 50🤡

        So much life wasted for no reason but to fund boomers lifestyle
