The ghost of T.S. Eliot just keeps screaming “I ALSO WROTE THE WASTE LAND, ‘THE LOVE SONG OF J. ALFRED PRUFROCK,’ AND ‘THE HOLLOW MEN’! NOT JUST THE FUCKING CAT POEMS” over and over again.

But will Titus and Greg Catnear be back?

God damn it, I was totally gonna buy some of these shits, too. But for $60, not for fucking $200+!  I really need some baggy-ass black jeans in a lightweight denim, people!  Help me, tell me where to look!  I’m so mad at JNCOs right now.

I wonder about the sibling dynamics between Hunter and Beau. Was Beau always the golden child destined for great things whose life was tragically cut short? Because I am getting HELLA “always lived in my brother’s shadow” vibes from this hot mess.

Hillary Clinton “overprepared” for her debates with Trump.

Between Hunter Biden and Duncan Hunter, it looks like having “hunter” in your name means you are probably the very messy son of a politician. 

Joe and Jill Biden must have really hated their daughter-in-law, for them to be like “Oh, isn’t it great that our son took up with his brother’s ex-wife and they can both be happy together!”.

I appreciate that you didn’t condemn Joe Biden in this piece for having such a screwed-up son. Many people are implying (or outright saying) that Hunter’s actions reflect badly on his father. But by all accounts Joe, though he has many failings, was a good father when his kids were growing up. He became well known,…

That’s the thing!! The model of “once you graduate you can do nothing before you pay back your student loans” is just f&*$% ridiculous in the current environment. I’m glad you can manage it, but I can’t help but think our economy would be better off with you and your husband having disposable income rather that paying…

And stop front-loading the interest, so you’re not paying enough down on the principal. After 5 years of paying my law school loans every month, my balance was actually higher. It was only after re-financing that my balance has been going steadily down. 

oh my god oh my god oh my god please please please please please please

Look, Bernie’s is bolder, but Warren didn’t come up with her plan to “shore up her support”, she’s been talking about these kinds of things for literally decades. If nothing else, she honestly believes what she says.

And it will die in the senate. Unfortunately. Which is why we need to take back the senate in 2020 and increase our membership in the House.

Those who have recently paid off (or tackled a large chunk) of loans were subject to the same profoundly fucked-up interest rates. Mentioning this doesn’t mean they wish others to suffer, and if you truly want free tuition you’ll need as many supporters as possible. Why can’t these bills be expanded to include…

Fuck those people. I paid off my student loans early, because I was in a position to do so (one of the few intelligent financial decisions I’ve ever made). I still think that these are great proposals because they help other people escape crippling debt. We should be looking at how to make the world a better place for…

Exactly. The big income doesn’t really mean much if you had to borrow so much in order to be able to achieve that income that you’re spending it all on paying back the student loans.

Re: high-earners with large student debt - I understand the discomfort around the idea of wiping out/reducing our debt, too. And, for sure, the income allows us to be in a less dire place even if we are cash-strapped because of the enormously burdensome payments. But I can affirm that those of us with big debt came…

Is it? People who make six figures usually had to go through a lot of schooling to get there and six figures in a big U.S. city doesn’t get you very far. I make six figures and can hardly afford the interest on my student loans after mortgage (we did not overbuy), childcare, modest retirement contributions, groceries, …

If Democrats want to have a contest to cancel my student loan debt, well...I ain’t mad.

Real talk: I make six figures but am 40 years old and STILL paying off my student loans, and currently won’t be able to completely be rid of them until I am almost 50. I live in DC and the cost of living here is INSANE. My husband and I do very well salary wise but we have very little in savings and all our “wealth”…
