I hope that the callous Yutes of South Dakota and their families are paying attention to Senator Thune bragging that he is holding them over the barrel.
You know what to do, SD.
What a genius.

I think he’s pretty safe here. I have a strong feeling that paying for higher education isn’t very high on the list of priorities for his constituents – evidenced by them being his constituents.
Once they’ve “done graduated the third grade”, their duty is done. Anything beyond that, and they may not be his constituents anymore.

The jr. Senator from KS is in on this bill, too, describing it as his bill, even. Marshall was just elected to his Senate seat in this past general election, so he’s one arrogant so-and-so about – well, about everything.

More theatrical posturing for the cult base. The bill stands little chance of passing the Senate, won’t ever get past the House, and even if it made it to Handsome Joe’s desk, it’d be killed by the veto pen faster than you can blink (and the chances of it surviving a veto override are somewhere in the neighborhood of zero, zip, zilch, and nada).

This sounds like the cue for an Executive Order before the bill hits congress.
Even backing the costs of college loans up to the levels available in, say, 1999 would take a big chunk out of the student loan debt load, and if Boomer complain that they had to pay their loans off it can be argued that the current loans are being paid off, just at the rates the Boomers got.

Crud. “backing the costs up” was meant to be like putting education cost inflation in reverse. Sheesh, MDavis, learn to proofread.
