My parents certainly never co-signed a loan for me. I mean they would have if they could have.

Neither of my parents ever co-signed a loan for me. The notion they would have done so is so foreign to me as to never even been a consideration. My only rule for buying homes was to only purchase what I could afford. And sometimes, "what I could afford" meant a long daily commute to/from work via: bus, light rail, or carpool.

Well sure, but you’re not Javier Milei, and Donald Trump is not your daddy.

It was less "the bridge collapsed" and more "a landslide took out the land the bridge was connected to and part of the bridge fell with it".

Pretty sure that the discipline of civil engineering, when done correctly, takes into account the propensity for the earth to collapse on top of/underneath your mega-project. Just sayin'

Well, sure.

But I was making sure we didn't blame the bridge. It didn't do anything wrong and was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

When I moved to NYC I learned the concept of “parents co-sign lease of apartment that young person cannot afford”.

Again, Dems should repeat this over and over and over and over until people 100% expect it to happen. Make people expect this payment so when it obviously doesn't come, that blame has to go to Trump.

Worst thing that could happen is for those checks to actually go out.

Seriously, what's to stop him and the idiots in his administration from just sending the checks out even if our government couldn't cover them? They don't give a shit and it seems clear that Dear Leader himself has finally lost all touch with reality, albeit his grasp on it has been tenuous for decades. They don't care if it crashes the economy, they can always just blame Democrats for whatever goes wrong and their base will buy it.

Nothing would stop him if he wants to send them out-say Oct 2026

Also, this strikes me as incredibly out of touch. How many of the Americans who are struggling right now had a parent cosign a loan for them when they were young?

I’m 64.

I went to the National Bank of Mom & Dad twice to secure car loans when 18-23……I got no credit score gain from paying off those loans……I didn’t get much credit from NBoM&D, either.

But, I did have access to NBoM&D; most people didn’t.

NBoM&D also funded college…..most people don’t have that.

I thought I was deprived because Mom and Dad wouldn’t pay for me to go to the Dean Smith Basketball Camp….. or to a national swim camp I wanted to go to (where we’d have done lap-after-lap like we did at our typical practice).

I wasn’t a silver spoon kid; I was a Paul Revere-crafted pewter spoon kid.

Plus, I went to Chapel Hill/Carrboro Schools for 12 years.
