Now that the Supreme Court has struck down President Biden’s illegal and shameful student loan scam to secure your vote, I ask you, “Have you learned your lesson?”

When I see you protesting outside the Supreme Court, I have my doubts. Your sense of entitlement is apparent. You chose to participate in the college “pyramid scheme” under the guise that you would make more money than the rest of us working stiffs who you want to bail you out.

Who is ultimately responsible for the hole you have dug yourself? The school counselor who didn’t steer you to a field where you had better opportunity to make a living? Your parents, whose wisdom you discarded? The college you chose that taught you to be a social warrior and little else to make money? Joe Biden, who played you like a fiddle to secure your vote? Many of you will double down on his false hope next election.

Or is the real culprit you? You made the decision, you drank beer instead of studying, you chose your field and you signed the loan agreement. As always, it’s all about you. There’s no free lunch. Start digging yourself out. Don’t depend on others if you won’t depend on yourself. Good luck.
