We agree that the loans should be more targeted towards fields that are more productive and where there is a greater need for jobs, but a more educated society also generally aligns with the common good. Otherwise, yeah, I don't think we should necessarily be doling out federal dollars for just anybody to attend any school for any major they want just to brush up on a hobby.

Giving away free money to spur demand when there is limited supply...the consequence is obvious. I have no doubt that it's bad for the cost of college, but as far as greater inflation goes, it's next to nothing compared with 3 covid bills, Trump's signed checks to every American, etc.

If we're really concerned about the debt, we really should be looking at other programs as the main culprits of the deficit. At least educating our society has guaranteed ROI and increasing the take-home pay of the average American helps fuel the economy. Define "educating". We sure have a lot stupid educated people.

Exactly Yeah, you can set your watch to it. Republicans will, en mass, turn on a dime on an issue if they're told to. And, really, it's any issue. The best example of that is still Syria. During the Obama admin, Assad attacked his own people and there was talk Obama would go in, Republican support for the move was almost nothing. Same exact thing happens under Trump and the support was sky high. Dems and Independents were close to the same in both cases, but with Repubs it was night and day. They physically can't support something if a Dem does it. That 73% support will drop to around 40% I'd guess by next week.

October 6, 20224 yr Schedule 2 puts it solely into the realm of the FDA/pharma due to regulations on production/quality control. If it is not rescheduled, the status quo persists. Also, it is going to take congress to change a couple of laws, so Biden can't do this solo.
