“It is up to us and you to decide whether we will stay here, or we will keep pushing,” the AOC said. While many Democrats are satisfied with Biden’s $10k gift, the AOC rightly appreciates that $10k per borrower doesn’t really accomplish that much. Indeed, the AOC is insisting More Debt forgiveness, blessings to his heart. Student loan forgiveness is the right thing to do. AOC, despite his persistent silliness, understands what Cruz doesn’t. This notion confuses Cruz and invites his disdain, again providing insight into the mindset of a modern politician. Some politicians also make policy keeping in mind the interests of their constituents, knowing that it will lead to political gains. Politicians who help constituents’ interests often experience political gains. While Cruz, who studied public policy during the 80s and 90s, scoffs at people for studying “useless things,” he may be surprised to find a job market for a contemporary public policy major, Rather narrow.įinally, Cruz sets about motivating the sluggish barista to vote because of student loan forgiveness.
Secondly, Cruz neglects to point out that his fictional ‘slacker barista’ may not be able to find a (different, higher-paying) job for reasons beyond his control. You have to remember, this is someone who, while at Harvard Law School, would not allow anyone in his study group to attend Harvard, Yale or Princeton to graduate. Cruz’s comments are not out of character. And as the COVID pandemic demonstrated, the service industry is vital to our economy – and to our expectations of what our daily lives look like.Ĭruz’s comments, while ridiculing service personnel, provide insight into how Cruz and his GOP peers actually view the working class - the components the GOP cares about most. First of all, working as a barista, or in the service industry, is usually a grind, guaranteed to weed out the true slackers. But Cruz, who holds degrees from Princeton and Harvard, is missing this point. “If you can get off the bong for a minute and go to the polling station, or simply send in your mail-in ballot that the Democrats helped you - it could increase turnout, especially among young people.”Ĭruz’s statement is an attempt to do the ‘tell-as-it-is-the-real-talk’ popularized by Trump. And all of a sudden you just got 20 grand,” Cruise said. You know, maybe you weren’t supposed to vote in November. “If you’re that lazy barista who spent seven years in college studying utterly useless stuff, now has debt and can’t get a job - Joe Biden just gave you 20 grand. Cruz’s Recent Comments criticism of Student loans also refer to the one-time bartender AOC. Ted Cruz, for example, is downright serious, aggressive while striving for Trump-style shock value.
“ĪOC’s loan forgiveness defense is matched against an onslaught of GOP criticism. People who take public transportation pay for car infrastructure. “People with apartments pay for homeownership benefits for the first time,” the AOC continued, “young people contribute to Medicare for our seniors. This – this being our country – is a collective effort. We can do good things and reject the scarcity mindset that says someone else To do something good for oneself comes at some cost.” I’m sure there are definitely other things student loan borrowers pay taxes on that benefit you. When asked on Instagram how canceling student loans benefits borrowers already paying off their student loans, the AOC replied: “Maybe student loan forgiveness doesn’t affect you. But the AOC and I are completely together over the student loan crisis.ĪOC lays out its position on student loans and those who have already made their payments I often find him inauthentic or misguided. I don’t always agree with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
