The 2020 big dance picks up steam pretty fast.  It comes from different directions and attacks can be seen among candidates in the same group.  America needs to make the “RATIONAL” instead of emotional & irrational choice.

Freedom to choose, while is one of the basic foundations how Americans make their choice, yet it can be twisted or directed toward making irrational instead of rational choice through false campaign promises, slogans or advertising.

So, what is the irrational choice related to the student loan debt?  Remember that not all the politicians are concern about your financial health.  However, without your personal support or vote he or she cannot win.  Therefore, their interest is just to get your vote, period, nothing else.  They are not concern about your student loan debt either or financial situation, ever.

Therefore, on the campaign trails, one will find or hear a lot of rhetoric statements or slogans directed to affect the voters’ emotion so that the emotional factor becomes dominant in the voters’ decision making process.  In other words, a voter will vote for a candidate, even though he or she, the voter, gains nothing from his or her emotional decision.  The reason is simple because she or he, the voters, has made an emotional decision, instead of a rational one.  Emotional decisions will not lead to an optimal outcome.  For example, if you choose the candidate who will not make your student loan debt goes away, what good will that do to you?  He does not even care about your student loan debt and other financial burdens that you have to sustain as results of attending a higher ed institution.

However, the story will be very different if one chooses the person who has fought, and is still fighting for you.  Therefore, as a voter, you have to be able to distinguish a candidate who has fought and candidates who start to fight or pretend to care about you, simply because it is an election year.

Among the blue party, there is clearly one person who have fought for years persistently and consistently.  However, the other person, though has held the position for 8 years done practically nothing to ease your student loan debt, ever.

Now, think about the incumbent.  Did he do anything at all?  If your answer is zero, that is still a better answer.  In fact, as long as the student loan debt is concerned, he has made thing go from zero to negative.  The reason is simple, as a businessman, he does not care and he supports the business entities who get the benefits or who can make more money because of all the messes.

America, it is your choice if you will accept the offer from someone who has fought persistently to ease your student loan debt burden or you vote for someone who will add or even increase your financial miseries.

Happy election!
