Say, for the sake of argument,

you've got this friend.

You know, that one friend?

You were buddies in high school, but don't really see each other anymore except online?

And you used to argue about politics for fun when you were teenagers,

but as you've gotten older you've drifted further left

and he's gone sharply right?

And your arguments...don't feel so frivolous anymore.

And maybe you've agreed that it's better for your friendship to stop getting into it with each other.

But you've just posted on Facebook about how "College in America should be free and all student loans forgiven."

And your friend has left a comment he's not supposed to leave.

And you're not supposed to respond, but you REALLY want to respond,

so after a moment's hesitation you shoot him a DM.

Why do you care how we'd afford free tuition?

Wars are a lot more expensive than education, but you never seem to care how we pay for those.

We just go into debt and you're fine with it.

Anyway, aren't you the party that says deficits don't matter?

Yeah, but you're Democrats.

You're not going to run a deficit, you're going to raise taxes, aren't you?

Taxes are generally how governments pay for things.

Spoken like a proper socialist.

No socialist would call that socialism.

Only you, and only when we pay for things you don't like.

But when we build roads, or subsidize corn, well then you just call it government.

Those are things we can't pay for without governments!

But we can pay for college ourselves. We've been doing it since forever.

Well, I hate to tell you this, but it's not the 1950's anymore.

Time was, you didn't need a degree to get a good job. Now you do.

And you could pay for college waiting tables, but now you can't.

Nowadays college is a necessity, and people can't afford it.

Why do liberals make excuses for people?

If you want to go to college and don't have the money, then you study and work hard and get a scholarship.

You earn it instead of complaining until somebody gives it to you.

Do you think people aren't doing that?
