If you've got federal student loans and/or Pell Grants and make less than $125,000 a year single/$250,000 a year joint, congratulations! If you're an /r/neoliberal user, though, you may feel differently.
From the title: "I unironically would support impeaching Biden over this... Bad timing though, Dems may lose a lot of swing voters over this."
Another user expresses his disgust with the Democrat Party: "Suppose Iβm politically homeless now."
A "big moderate" weighs in: "Going to probably vote GOP next election to express my displeasure at this."
"I am seething. This sucks so bad. Literally taking from the poor and giving to the rich" β
"You live in a truly insane bubble if you think this will hurt Democrats politically."
And much more in the SRDine thread writeup.

Neighbor the rurals you're talking about are already heavily subsidized by urban voters lmao.
You don't get to suck up 70% of our tax money and also amount to 30% of our gdp and b-word about "subsidizing" others.

Neighbor, the fact that you think rural Americans are "sucking up" 70% of tax money shows how little you know about the distribution of federal tax revenue. In reality, the top 20% of earners pay more than 70% of federal taxes, while the bottom 20% pay less than 3%. So if anything, it's urban dwellers who are subsidizing rural Americans, not the other way around.

So what you're saying is that the states with less people are doing better than the states with more people? That doesn't make any sense. And if rural areas are getting more money from the government, it's because they need it more. They have less tax revenue and more expenses.

another midwit who confuses red states with red voters.
reality:
the blue voters in red states are sucking up a lot of tax money (not 70% though, no idea where you got that from)
the red voters in red states see what a gigantic waste this is, and how disgusting and useless the blue voters in their state are.
that's why they're voting against those transfers!
the reddit favorite stereotype "republican welfare recipient who hates welfare" exists, but he isn't very common. red states have a lot of blue voters, and they tend to be the main recipients of government-enforced wealth transfers going into that state.

This is hilarious. You can go loom at county level stuff. Rurals are government leeches.
The counties dems win are like 75% of our gdp.

I have, several times. You are delusional if you think the largest counties in America, counties in which democrats win by 70% are funded by republicans.
You'd have to be a literal r-slur to believe this.
