Hartmann Report - Free education built America’s middle class; it’s the foundation of the American Dream. Taiwan and Japan — island nations with few natural resources that have both used the brainpower of their people to become among the richest in the world — demonstrate the importance of a nation having a large number of well-educated citizens. Don’t tell that to the GOP, though.
In early 2023, six Republicans on the Supreme Court killed President Biden’s student loan debt forgiveness program.
Republicans, predictably, were giddy, celebrating another Supreme Court victory in which, on behalf of their billionaire owners, they were again “owning the libs.”
They’re ecstatic that poor and working class people — particularly Black women who, as ABC News noted, “hold nearly two-thirds of the nearly $2 trillion outstanding student debt in the U.S.” — will find it ever harder to climb into the middle class, which increasingly requires a college degree.
