Would curing cancer be unfair to people who already died from it and people who never got it..?

You're not curing cancer, you're injecting gangrene into the soul of our country, a cancerous tumor of government bribery and bureaucratic rot that will devour our entire education system and kill everything America stands for.

Education should be free to all as a public service

  @TruthHurts101 from Washington  commented…3yrs3Y

Public education should be abolished

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Just because it clearly failed you, doesn't mean everyone else was as unfortunate...

Public education did NOT fool me because I haven't even graduated from middle school yet. And am homeschooled. And here I am schooling you adult.

Look at the Thirteen States in 1776. Everyone read Thomas Paine's Common Sense with ease and understanding, teenagers did, preteens even, and bow it's considered college level and too advanced. None of these people saw a day in State-owned schools. Nowadays everyone just cheats with Chat GPT and is taught to hate America. Contrast and ask yourself, honestly, the. question "Has anything improved?" The honest answer is no. We've got nothing to lose and everything to gain by privatizing education

The comparison between curing cancer and forgiving student loans seems to be a false equivalence. The objective of curing cancer is to save lives, a goal that we can all agree upon as universally good and necessary. On the other hand, the objective of forgiving student loans is to alleviate financial burden, which is indeed important, but not a matter of life and death. When we forgive student loans, we're shifting the financial burden to taxpayers who did not take out student loans or who have already paid their loans. Curing cancer does not shift death to those that don’t have cancer.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
