Republicans are just as much servants of the bourgeoisie as the Democrats, and usually more aligned with the reactionary faction that thinks Keynes was a crypto communist, so while they can run circles around the Democrats rhetorically and are more ruthless at enforcing their social beliefs they're still never going to actually do any sort of serious economic reform

Trump round two will be like Trump round 1: he'll post a lot and sign whatever the R congress manages to put in front of him. the bureaucracy has been on autopilot since Obama. trump is a stupid dumbass and isn't interested in anything except getting applause in stadiums and having people suck up to him, he doesn't have the vision to pull off some strasserite crap, his base isn't interested in it beyond a statistically insignificant number of online weirdos, and he himself belongs to the creditor billionaire class which has a massive stake in continuing to squeeze blood from the stone and make education, healthcare, housing and anything under the sun massively expensive

ex post facho posted:actually that's just kamala's firefighting program in CA lmbo lol this is still better than that, no way you could pay off any student loans on $2-5 a day, plus $1-2 per hour fighting fires. quote:The fire-camp program began in 1946, and California continues to rely on more than 1,000 inmates, who are paid $2 to $5 a day in camp and an additional $1 to $2 an hour when they're on a fire line. The program saves California taxpayers about $100 million a year, according to the corrections department.

I mean, ngl I could really use that student loan forgiveness but I would rather the Democratic party continue doing exactly what they want and utterly hollow themselves out from the inside. Not like I'm paying that poo poo back anyways, gently caress Joe Biden and all who voted for him
