It’s almost like they want to keep America stupid—less financially stable & thus more controllable.

“Republican lawmakers are considering a change to tax policy that would make college more expensive for students receiving grants and scholarships to help pay their tuition bill.”

You hit the nail on the head
We are quickly approaching the point where our only option will be the guillotines.
This is why younger generations struggle to buy homes & save for retirement. We told everyone they needed a degree, then ballooned tuition rates & did not prevent predatory lending practices.

Devil here in the details.
unserious proposal - fully fund the IRS and go after every dollar legally owed.
...thanks to a 50 year Republican War on public education
We've all been living through it.

THERE'S A REASON WHY.

...YES and easier to fool/control (MAGA), but also desperate and scrambling to do anything for any wage to put food on the table...
*De-equalization*
Couple this long-held Republican dream with the heartlessness and proud arrogant stupidity of MAGA and we're headed for Third World status
And Cheeto “loves the uneducated”.

Isn't one of the Republican mottos "keep then sick and keep them stupid"? Control is the whole point, besides cruelty, fear, and terror.
And so it continues...
The dummying down of America has been going on for a long time.
It began when they took government & civics classes out of the regular curriculum.
It’s evident when they target the president for what Congress should be doing, etc. etc. etc.
Bonus for them is with DEI gone, women and POC get fewer scholarships as well. 2
1. Get rid of women, lgbtq, POC in higher ed.
2. Close institutions of higher ed
3. Make college more unaffordable for most Americans (repeat #2)
3/
Stupid people are easier to con. We saw how 77 million ignorant foolish Americans were so easily conned into accepting fascism for a promise to lower #EggPrices, which, by the way, are soaring!
*WOMEN outnumber men considerably as students in higher ed.*
So it’s yet another way GOP wants yo diminish women.
A lot of smaller colleges are closing. This would accelerate that process.
.....and shift more of their pitifully low tax burden to us....
Disposable income will be a thing of the past & we will all just be fighting to survive and keep our homes & basics.
The middle class was already disappearing. I suspect it will just be something of history books once this regime is done with its destruction of America.
