This program is an absolute game changer for New Mexico," Lujan Grisham said at the time. "In the long run, we'll see improved economic growth, improved outcomes for New Mexican workers and families and parents

Because we all know that is what happens when you give free shit to people. They suddenly step up and want to do their part to repay society. Never would they ever expect more free shit just for existing.

What I think is sad is that these people (at least some of them) really believe that programs like these will benefit the people they claim to help in any way, when the only entity that profits is the institution that gets their overblown tuition paid by tax-payer-money. All this leads to is more bloat in administration more diversity-hires in more diversity-offices and more useless degrees that leave the students that were 'the first in their familiy to get a degree' with absolutely nothing to show for.

You wanna help people to climb out of poverty? Start with using all the money you use for [insert minority]-scholarships and put it in merit-based scholarships for people under a certain yearly income/net worth.

But you won't. Because you are a hostage of your own actions and taking away free shit for people that don't deserve it would cost you your political career. And that's all that matters to you at the end of the day.

we'll see improved economic growth

"Our statistics will tell us good things when we make the population dependent on a few corporate oligarchs operating at the behest of their socialist political tyrants."

improved outcomes for New Mexican workers

"A peasant class of workers will be made corporate dependents once we make all the undesirables unemployed"

and families and parents

"Families are whiteness"
