I only have an associate's degree which was very affordable and I worked thru school but I guess I get to help pay for those who took on a lot more debt. If that had been on the table maybe I'd have gotten more education.

When you're struggling to feed your kids, yeah, mine is on the list. That doesn't mean I don't help other people but our government taxes the struggling and literally sets cash on fire as a thank you.

I constantly bring up school lunch programs but I get downvoted on sites like this because I choose unpopular context. For example, Biden spent money on something, I say - he could have funded school lunches, but instead lunch ladies get to go back to collecting food debt.
