It was the only responsible decision that could have been made, despite three activist judges.

Think of all the families that sacrificed to save money for their children's education, kids working multiple jobs to pay for college. What a slap in the face to them. Biden just trying to buy votes. Same with emptying strategic oil reserve - risky. Biden very bad for America. FJB

Max DeYoung

Biden knew this was illegal when he did it. He was simply buying votes with other peoples money, and dividing the nation while he was at it.

Benjamin Sullivan

it's the law...

Christopher Watson

Everybody else before Biden has had to pay theirs off, they've gotten a break for three years, what have they been doing with the money. Stop trying to live large, pay it off then live large.

Another example of media bias towards socialism/authoritarianism. Notice the leading of 'The conservative justices..'.

Larry Ewart

Life is about choice. If you borrow to get an education then you are obligated to pay it back. It is your choice on what your using the funds for in regard to your education. Be wise!

An educated society is a better society. Even if I didn't have a college education I would want the people who had received one to have no/ reduced debts compared to the current cost of an education. I want my nurse to be good at nursing not working 60-80 hours/week to cover cost of education.

Toasty

"An educated society is a better society" Straw-man argument. Why is the nurse $100K in debt? The 'evil' rich or ever growing governmental regulations to make 'an educated society a better society'?

Max DeYoung

An educated person, is responsible and pays their debts. An educated person, doesn't ask non-educated people to coddle them. The people who want free stuff, are not educated, they are selfish.

Libs really want 30 hours of sick time for 1 hour work called Univ Basic Income. This is a great example of an organic Missouri effort to change our Constitution, you can tell by the homemade signs. NOT, another dark money effort to buy an amendment when they fail in legislature. End this BS. FJB

Stephanie Vandas Andersen

Paid leave is good for families and employers--it helps attract and retain the best talent, reducing employee turnover costs, and helps alleviate financial strain on families. It's a win-win.

Paid sick leave is needed for all workers. How can you pay medical bills if you aren't getting paid while you are sick or recovering from surgery?

Richard Von Glahn

No one should have to choose between taking care of themselves or a child and missing a pay check. This is an obvious yes.

Small Missouri employers have enough problems just meeting their payrolls. More government intrusion is not the answer.

Rick Smith

You think prices are high now. Wait until they raise them some more if this passes.

Zaos Gonzolez

If you don't want to be an employee, START A BUSINESS. If you can't start a business, LEAVE BOONE COUNTY. It's quite simple.

Harry D

Businesses will leave not only Boone County but Missouri if this passes. Businesses will also try extra hard to automate and replace people with AI robots to keep their costs down. The problem with marxist socialists is that they ultimately run out of other people's money.

You accepted the benefits or lack there of when you accepted the job. If they offer overtime see if you can store all or part of your hours for unforeseen circumstances. If not look for a company that provides leave and quit trying to force small businesses out.
