The left wants to give these kids hope and educations, ......
Hasn't that been the plan for the last 50+ years?
It was when I went to college starting in 1976. I had to borrow money, but I also received Pell Grants and more generous grants from the college than my kids' received. Kids today do not qualify for Pell Grants as easily and their student loans end up being the price of a house. Jobs pay less starting out. My kids made got educations with extreme grades (2 girls) and Army Service (2 boys). I suppose a righty might say anyone could do that, but I believe you have to have been born with certain attributes to achieve very high grades or adjust to the military. I could do the high grades, but I could never have done the military* and it is easy for me to imagine there are those who could do neither.
*If the draft had been in effect I would have made it. My father prepared me for that when I was a little boy.
