More Millennials Would Give Up Voting Than Texting (nypost.com)

An anonymous reader quotes the New York Post: As the staggering national student loan debt tally sits at an all-time high of $1.33 trillion, according to the Department of Education, many millennials say they would go to extreme lengths to wipe their slate clean. According to a new survey from Credible, a personal finance website, 50 percent of all respondents (ages 18-34) said they would give up their right to vote during the next two presidential elections in order to never have to make another loan payment again.
Yet only 44% said they'd be willing to give up Uber and Lyft -- and only 13% said they'd be willing to give up texting.

    I knew Trump would win, too many radio stations, church congregations, and family members of mine, all voting for Trump. What I have trouble imagining is Trump being a two term president. We're not even one year into his presidency and several people are already ready to jump ship from the Trump bandwagon. I'm not sure we can last four years, so I doubt he will be re-elected. The only reason Trump would be re-elected is if there seemed to be some "stragglers" in Washington who would be expected to quit their jobs if Trump was re-elected. That whole "drain the swamp, whatever the cost" thing.
