How about free education? Build the country by educating people.
I agree with this
Who pays for the teachers/professors, scholastic supplies, books, etc?
Government spending doesn't work like your bank account. Instead of just letting banks invent money through fractional reserve banking the government can pay for these kinds of essential services with new money. Taxation isn't like having a bake sale so you can afford to buy things, it's one way for money to be drawn out of the economy so that inflation is controlled.
Yes some taxes raise money proportional to some other spending and are ear-marked for that, but notice how no new taxes had to be introduced to give tens of billions to Ukraine and Israel?
The government can pay for public services.
Hell, we just need to take a small fraction of what the military gets yearly to pay for everyone's student loans, right now.
Tax the fuck out of the billionaire class
no worries ill cover it
Free, high quality education would prevent sad, uneducated bait like this.

Im so sorry for my decision to work in a company, the CEO gambled away and got laid off because the new owner decided to sell all assets off, next time when I take a loan I look into the crystalball to see if the 2nd generation family business will exist in 20 years
Why do I get the feeling that this is the same guy with an alt account?
What is the end goal here? Lemmy is dominated by people who a strongly left leaning. Posting anything that doesn't play into the narrative will just piss them off. You are wasting your time.
Dumb.
What a disgusting take, @thisguy1092@lemmy.world.
An educated populace benefits everyone, and is a far better option than forcing someone to begin their working life in debt.
This is a rubbish take unfortunately.
Nah fuck you, fuck your money, fuck your time, since you're using it to stan for people who are happily stealing your time and my time and all our everything. I would literally steal all the capitalists' money if I could get away it.
