 Why should these snot-nosed kids today? Why should I be paying for their college education? I don't want to This is what Megan Kelly says in response to the idea that we should cancel student debt now for those of you who don't know The Biden administration extended the pause on student loan repayments To September which means there is no way he doesn't extend it past September because if you were to Force everyone to resume making their student loan payments two months before the election that is political suicide and even Democrats as feckless and clueless as they usually are would not be that dumb So I'm just gonna assume that we don't resume payments on student loans until 2023 either way just cancel it That would be great But Megan Kelly says no because she doesn't want to pay for that. So let's go ahead and listen This person is just like busting a gut though. I wonder what she said. That's so funny Think about it in my own life my Wait, maybe okay. I think that she's sharing a clip and she's not on their show I assumed that she was on their show, but that's not the case. I've been pre-watched this So I don't necessarily know specifically what she'll say, but okay my audience knows that my dad died suddenly when I was 15 of a heart attack and My mom already had two kids in college at that point my brother and sister are older than I am they're in college She's trying to you know, shoot. He was only 45. We were not in we weren't rich to begin with so it's not like he had some Big fat life insurance policy had the like the bare minimum you have when you're in your 40s and you a professor Which is what he was Anyway, what did she do? She used the entirety of that that payment to to pay for the rest What she could of my brothers and sisters college and my college education and all three of us had to take out loans on top of it, of course so Like do I So if you want your college to be paid for It's easy just have your dad die and then cash in on the life insurance and that's how you pay for college It's simple and now that you know I would have been better off if the federal government had stepped in look it would have been nice But that's I don't think the neighbor should have to pay for my college education and my mom made a sacrifice She could have been living off of that money Suddenly she didn't have it you know to income home But she used it to help her children like that's what but how often are people going to have a big lump sum of cash to where They can pay for multiple kids Student loans. I mean this is extremely unreasonable and very selfish what you see I got taken care of and You know if that doesn't happen to you if you don't get lucky enough to see one of your parents die So you can get you know the life insurance Then I don't know what to say fuck you. I got mine Megan this is not a solid argument at all like this is a very very stupid and self-centered point It's do they scrimp and they save and they do what's necessary to pay for things like education And we took out loans too and then we paid at those loans back Right, but not as much had your dad not died and left your family with the life insurance money Right, so it was easier for you to pay that back because you had a huge infusion of cash there Whereas most people the totality of their student debt It's all just taken out and they they don't have a ton of cash to just pay it off like that's not that's not realistic That's not realistic. There's 1.6 trillion dollars worth of debt and millions of Americans are bogged down by it Statistically how likely are many of them going to be as lucky as as Megan Kelly and I say lucky obviously Facetiously because it would have been better had her dad survived obviously I think that she is probably sad that she lost her dad, but I mean like Circumstances led to you having more money Not everyone is gonna have that opportunity. I just I just feel like this is such a weird argument. It's very selfish Why should these snot-nosed kids today? I'm sorry the ones who really need it making get loan. She is on their podcast. Okay Well, whatever that's why he's busted in the gut because she called them snot-nosed kids Right, but like like you point out a lot of these people are gonna be these sort of college Columbia elite graduates Who are gonna spend their years in journalism trying to shame half of America for doing absolutely nothing wrong? Why should I be paying for their college education? I don't want to Well, I don't want to pay for bloated military budgets. I don't want to pay for roads That aren't near me that I won't be using right? I Don't want to pay for fucking schools when I don't have kids in school. We don't have a choice Megan. Shut the fuck up Okay, we all Contribute this is the reason why we live in a society folks, right? We all pull our resources together and we make society better for everyone so even if I might not necessarily benefit from The public school system near me because I don't have children to send to these schools I still think it's good, you know if you if you own a home You're gonna be paying property taxes that go to schools, right? If you pay taxes if you work a job and they take that out of your paycheck It's going to go to fund roads, right? We all fund things that we don't necessarily use It's part of living in a society One thing that she doesn't even realize is that the overwhelming majority of student debt is held by the government So it's not like they have to come up with the money to pay for it. The government just says, okay We're not going to do this anymore. It's it's literally that simple Joe Biden can do it via executive order You don't have to find Ways to pinch pennies to pay for it like what a dumb argument Does he even realize what she's saying and they laugh so much when she says not no skit Is that really that clever like it just makes you sound like a crotchety old woman Megan
