Because conservatives aim their displaced Hilary hate at a new target. Next up, how much TP AOC uses.
Jesus. Why is this tread still going on?
She gets a haircut/color done that is about average pricing.
As far for her debts. It is not like she is trying to default on them or get government assistance for it.
I know of a great alternate path to mitigate education debt, but it requires a little selfless service. Trade work used to be a viable path to a comfortable middle class lifestyle as well.As if 18 year olds really understand what it is to sign away decades of future earnings for a kiss & a promise of higher future earnings. As if the economy in the wake of the crash offered sufficient opportunities for our young people to take an alternative path.
That’s usually how career advancement works.
But that is exactly my point! Like most people with a college degree, the expectation is that over time, you make more money and pay off the debt that YOU chose to incur. I doubt that she was going to high end salons as a bartender. Now she can, and still balance her debt. There is no need for the government to intervene.

Wait, what? AOC basically won the lottery by making it into Congress. And you think that is a viable career path for millions of people with student debt? I'm sorry, but I don't think half the people going to College are getting enough return out of that investment to pay off their debt. I mean, Student Debt is a thing I would like to see addressed. Government pay off is not necessarily the correct answer and I remain skeptical of that path.
My point was this topic is bad. No one should be criticizing her for partaking in a hair salon, a normal activity.
Twenty years of service gets you a guaranteed pension, and the ability to retire into any number of government jobs. That sounds more than sufficient.As if military service doesn't offer a finite & insufficient number of opportunities.
So what? The modern military requires only just so many people.Twenty years of service gets you a guaranteed pension, and the ability to retire into any number of government jobs. That sounds more than sufficient.
I do think its worth highlighting.
Democrat scandal: Congresswoman gets $300 haircut.
Republican scandal: President uses Quid Pro Quo to strong arm foreign nations into investigating political rivals.

Wouldn't it be just as accurate to view it as purchasing success? That was the attitude I noticed amongst my kids friends, that a high dollar degree guaranteed a huge paycheck. They assumed that they would be able to repay any amount they borrowed, and they borrowed freely.As if 18 year olds really understand what it is to sign away decades of future earnings for a kiss & a promise of higher future earnings.

It still is. There is money to be made in the trades, but a lot of people fear having to lift heavy things.I know of a great alternate path to mitigate education debt, but it requires a little selfless service. Trade work used to be a viable path to a comfortable middle class lifestyle as well.

I'm pretty sure it's true that Trumps president. And yes, obtuse is the angle I'm going for.People are often led to believe things that aren't true. Check out who's President.
This is where I disagree strongly with AOC. To me, a visionary democratic socialist platform is creating a social service requirement that vests every high school graduate in our society through compensated service. Could be military or social services or infrastructure. A far better solution than UBI.It still is. There is money to be made in the trades, but a lot of people fear having to lift heavy things.
In manufacturing perhaps, but trade unions are still incredibly strong in many cities.That's also a limited number of opportunities, more so than in the past due to technological advancement. It's true for nearly all endeavors. Just because we can do more with less doesn't mean the market for more is real. It just means the demand for labor is reduced.
You guys' president is being impeached and you can't get your minds off of this young House member and how powerful you seem to think she is.
I get it, you're all confused because she's incredibly hot but also as informed by your circus media "a communist." This creates problems for you.
Seek help, I guess, but at least start focusing on actual things that affect you in your life. Not someone's haircut.
Oh look--Trump signed the death warrant for 10s of thousands of Kurds because of his Trump towers. Maybe focus on something that matters?

My student loans, which were given at an interest rate of 8.125% (dramatically higher than other loans at that time) were government backed (if I default, the government pays out) and given to a student with pretty gaurenteed high earning potential.. Yet they cannot be discharged in bankruptcy? Really odd for what's a pretty damned sure thing for the lenders at what I would argue were predatory rates.Ironically when you borrow that money to buy a car, to spend it on pizza, or to do anything else society recognizes people make mistakes and offers a path to discharge the debt.
The only loan that we have decided is unforgivable and a lifetime burden is one where you decide to go to school. It’s a dumb system, and this comes from someone who has never taken a student loan in his life.

You have it exactly backwards. Student loans exist because they aren't dischargeable, that's the one thing that makes them a viable risk for lenders. The problem is that there was an assumption that the people taking those loans would have a small amount of common sense, that was a serious miscalculation. Part two of that mistake was every university in the country saw the "free money" sign and started jacking up prices. It's now officially a clusterfuck, and the taxpayers will end up eating the cost while the foolish people that made those bad decisions will move on to their next financial disaster.Ironically when you borrow that money to buy a car, to spend it on pizza, or to do anything else society recognizes people make mistakes and offers a path to discharge the debt.

What AOC offers isn’t a solution. It’s pandering for votes.
Don’t dare criticize her. The response is akin to criticizing a Taylor Swift song on social media.
I don’t think I’ll trust anyone who has a history of bigotry to show me “real world problems”, thanks anyway.When you’re done fighting the first world problem crusades, let me know, I have a few real world ones for you to tackle.
