A comment on Low-Income College Students Are Being Taxed Like Trust-Fund Babies.

Why don't we just be honest. The housing mortgages crisis bailout with many other blunders by the government... has resulted in using the new generation as the potential piggybank to pay it all back. The generation in power doesn't care if one generation is sacrificed with all the downfalls that occur to the young persons who have no help from their parents or whatever reasons.

The government got back the money from the bailout with interest, so there's no debt left from it for future generations to pay back.

Paid back by the people who this was passed down to.

That money was already paid back, not sure what you're talking about.

I'm really having a hard time following your connection between the "housing mortgages crisis bailout" from 10 years ago and unintended consequences of the tax cut 2 years ago.
