As a retired US Naval Officer, I candidly am ashamed and insulted by Biden's debt 'forgiveness.' All he did was push more staggering national debt onto citizens already abused by politicians with short term goals and reelection vice protecting the economic and financial life of our country. Mr. Klonsky's comments are based on opinion vice informed opinion. I went back to graduate school as a 43 year-old grad student, and I state that many of the college students were wasting federal and parental money for a useless degree. Until our educational system is overhauled to teach critical thinking vice PC, woke, and other nonsense, the 'cost of an educated population' is NOT (fairly) shared by all. Finally, comparing our country to other countries in the 'industrialized world' in regards to free tuition is equally opinion vice informed opinion. (I am tired of people telling me I have a financial or moral obligation to help raise their children. Over eighteen years on active duty means that if you want me to financially help raise your children, then I have the right to input what they study.)
Education is a public good - and the idea that it should end at an arbitrary age would be silly, if it were not actual US policy. And of course education should be public and free.
The idea that school is mandatory and free for 15 year olds, but optional and depressingly expensive for 19 year olds and ridiculous and offensive.
Hey, I think that naval officer should get some free writing courses. Never too old. Education should be looked at as part of the fabric of society.

What utter badly written bullshit. You went to grad school and wrote this? Talk about a waste of educational dollars.
Delete me from your mailing list. You don't handle criticism well, do you? Your reply supports my statement on uninformed opinion.
I didn't subscribe for you. I don't unsubscribe for you. That's your job.
