Well done, dumbass country. This is just one way they’re going to get you. Make college out of reach except for the wealthy who can pay what’s become exorbitant costs up front.

No more possibility of your kids doing better than you.

But Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and other Democrats just weren’t good enough for you.

Way to go.

@TonyStark

Well, this suxs! Trump and the Republican Party should get an award

@TonyStark

This could have easily been prevented.

The incoming damage, though, can't be undone.

@birdpoof Nope.

It cannot. I hope everyone who contributed to this feels like shit because they should.

@TonyStark

Especially those who are ON Medicaid and related programs.

I reserve vast quantities of schadenfreude for them.

@TonyStark Notice how they timed these things to allow them to win elections before things kick in.
@TonyStark I don’t think enough people understand what’s coming here.

@TonyStark It's so easy for 55-to-64-year-olds to find jobs right now.

Those 55-to-64-year-olds who aren't working are likely either disabled without documentation (from years of manual labor) or caring for family. Not sitting around because they feel like it.

Such a cruel bill in so many ways.

@TonyStark

In many ways, the big ugly bill is a repudiation of the agendas of the last two Democratic presidents, a chiseling away at the Medicaid expansion from Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, and a pullback of Joe Biden’s climate change strategies in the Inflation Reduction Act.

@TonyStark I've been telling my kid (16yo) that a student visa is a good way to get out of the country for a few years. They haven't started applying yet. I'm for Canada. The mom likes Germany.
@SordidAmok I decided to have kids while Obama was President because I thought this country turned a corner. It turned a corner all right.
@TonyStark We had the same idea. Kid was conceived when Obama was in.
@TonyStark How much education does 65k even buy nowdays? 20 years ago that might have gotten me a semester. College I went to was private, but it weren't any big deal.
@crazyeddie Not enough and that’s part of the point.
