Joe Biden’s latest pet project, student loan forgiveness, is the left’s newest shiny object dangled before young voters. But before you grab your pitchforks and torches, let’s break down why this so-called “solution” is nothing more than a political stunt, and why our hardworking military personnel deserve a raise far more than college graduates who willingly took on debt.
First off, student loan forgiveness is a band-aid on a bullet wound. It doesn’t address the root causes of astronomical tuition fees and the bloated, inefficient higher education system. Instead of tackling the real issues – like why universities are charging the price of a luxury car for a year’s worth of classes – Biden wants to hand out taxpayer dollars to absolve personal responsibility. It’s like mopping the floor while the sink is still overflowing.
Moreover, the fairness of student loan forgiveness is laughable. What about those who worked multiple jobs to pay off their debt? What about parents who sacrificed their savings to put their kids through college? Forgiving student loans essentially punishes those who made responsible financial decisions while rewarding those who didn’t. It’s a slap in the face to every American who lived within their means and honored their commitments.
On the other hand, our military – the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms – are often underpaid and overworked. These heroes face dangerous conditions, prolonged separations from their families, and the psychological toll of warfare. Yet, many struggle to make ends meet. A raise for the military isn’t just a nice gesture; it’s a moral imperative.
While Biden is busy scoring points with promises of loan forgiveness, he conveniently ignores the sacrifices made by our service members. Prioritizing military pay raises would not only honor their commitment but also strengthen our national security. A well-compensated, motivated military is crucial in these volatile times.
It’s high time we stop falling for these political stunts and start focusing on real issues. Biden’s obsession with erasing student loans is a distraction from the systemic problems in higher education and a disservice to those who have served our country. Instead of pandering to the indebted, let’s honor our military with the raises they rightfully deserve.
