    You know what would get more votes? That student loan forgiveness thing! Maybe the kids who never graduated or used their expensive education should get their loans forgiven???

    Remember that? Yeah?

    Cuz 5% is not gonna do much if you got a 15% loan.

      Seems kind of weird to blame the guy who is trying to do the thing you want and not the people who keep blocking it from happening.

        Except he isn’t, at this point all he’s doing is claiming to want to give the poor some crumbs, so that those who haven’t yet, don’t turn on him.

        A 5% increase limit is still an increase, he’s not doing you any fucking favours by continuing to allow landlords to gouge you, only a little more conservatively.
