Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

Libertarian Gary Johnson Is Very Confused About Student Loans
by Alexander Holt
August 3, 2016 3:54 PM
Do the stated positions on higher education policy from both major presidential candidates leave you feeling sad, and like you are choosing between two bad options? Maybe you could vote for Gary Johnson, candidate for the Libertarian Party and former governor of New Mexico. Yes you would throw away your vote, but perhaps he has some smart things to say about higher education.
He does not.
Johnson is deeply confused about higher education policy. He believes that the reason college costs are so high is because of the “guaranteed government student loans.”
Linking college costs to federal aid is not a fringe theory—it’s called the Bennett hypothesis, named after Ronald Reagan’s education secretary, and there’s some evidence that federal student loans may lead to increased tuition (although it’s not the main reason costs have increased). But what’s worrying about Johnson’s statement is that he called federal student loans “guaranteed.” That word has a very particular meaning in federal student loan policy, and it refers to a program that was abolished in 2010.
Before 2010, banks would issue student loans and the federal government would “guarantee” those loans. That program was wasteful corporate welfare, and the government saved billions of dollars per year when it switched to loans issued directly by the federal government.
Granted, new federal loans are still “guaranteed” by the government, but that’s a very strange word to use in light of the program’s history. Why not call them “government” or “federal” loans? It suggests that Gary Johnson silly hasn’t read up on the federal student loan program since 2010. Which is… concerning.

Truth.
I blocked so many racist trolls in the past days for feeding on police killing a young mother

Sickening, but we all know why this type of mentality. It’s to preserve their DELUSIONAL sense of WHITENESS.
Did u see what this asshole Clint Eastwood said in esquire????
#whenClintgrewup u enjoyed a good ole lynching as a family
#whenclintgrewup blacks knew their place
Fuck u Clint Eastwood!!!
we all know that’s what they’re thinking. They wanna party like it’s 1938. I keep on telling folks.
2X’s old racist sob.
Yeah, well, this is from a guy who talked to a chair at the 2012 Republican convention. Why would Esquire or any other publication interview a pissed off old man who is famous for “blockbuster” films that are not particularly good but glorify the swinging d*ck mentality?
The racists are showing their asses, at last. This is the one element of the Obama presidency. The bigots, racists, and ugliness of white folks could not be contained any longer. These old white farts are gasping, fighting, and clinging to their last vestiges of WHITE SUPREMACY.
They are literally RAGING AGAINST THE DYING OF THE WHITE!
Happy Birthday, President Obama, Sir and have many many more!
