(4,358 posts)The fastest growing household demographic is single people with no kids. And they get cut absolutely no breaks despite the fact that it is a lot harder to afford housing and medical care on only one income and they are more vulnerable to job losses because they don't have a second household income to cushion the blow. And they will have greater medical costs down the road because they don't have a partner to provide some of the living assistance when they are ill gratis.
I'm going to be pissed if this passes at the expense of student loan forgiveness. Give one break to single people who are doing the right thing for the environment by not contributing to overpopulation. What about all the people who couldn't afford to have kids in the first place because they started off their careers with six figure student loan debt?
