Do They Realize? - 08 September 2022


 
 
 
 
I have my doubts that our ruling class realize what they're telling us. Frankly, I'm not sure they realize much of anything - for them it's all a game with us as the pieces on the board.

Anyway, the endless drive to forgive student loans because those who took them out cannot afford to pay them is nothing but a statement that a college education is a bad investment. Today's "leaders" see college/university education as merely a more advanced job training. Given that view, if the jobs that result are not lucrative enough to pay for the required training, only a fool would make that choice.

Even setting aside the obvious unfairness of forcing payment of these loans by folks who have either paid their own debts or who didn't take out any loans in the first place, we're faced with the conclusion that a college/university degree is a very bad investment indeed. It seems that only those who didn't bother with it are capable of paying for it - and that for the purported benefit of others.

Clearly the whole scheme is insane and immoral. Whether it's illegal or unconstitutional remains to be seen.

I hate living in a kleptocracy.
