2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[A.R.$]

I have a MBA as well why the hell are you paying 150k out of pocket towards a MBA . If you didn't have a proper scholarship you should have gotten yourself a career to pay for that degree that's what I did. Im sorry It sounds like you took some financial missteps in dealing with those loans. your wives degrees definitely worth it but you should have gotten into a company that would have paid a large % of your MBA instead all of OOP.

I never said I paid 150k for an MBA
Our debt is not split 50/50. She went to pharmacy school so obviously her debt will be more than mine. Besides that student loan debt is not just grad school. It is grad school combined with undergrad.

Oh alrigh my bad lol, take back almost everything I said my bad still don't think all debt should be cleared a large percentage for sure.

bingo....and this is an even bigger problem for black families where 1) school is our most viable path to better careers/higher earnings 2) we don't have the familial resources to pay our way through school 3) we don't have aunts, parents, grandparents who are going to diesand leave us hundreds of thousands as an inheritance - if we're lucky we'll inherit the a home with a mortgage on it still 4) i know for many older millennials and gen x, they were first gen college graduates so the desperation to go trumped cost, people took out loans for whatever it cost to get that degree

Exactly. Also a lot of for profit colleges took advantage of young Black people that were trying to change their lives. They took out a shyt load of loans only to get a worthless degree from a non accredited school. They were really scamming in the 00s.

Be happy a black man losing his job when his white coworkers aid worst brehs

He can go work for Bloomberg network instead. He was already shilling for them pro bono.

Not saying thia is true, but is this why the establishment hates him so much? They are all the same age [late 60s- 80]

Imagine being 30, big time after graduating from an Ivy League and hearing about this guy in the news

Then that bum from Vermont from 50 years later managed to be President

Well I don't have a water down MBA if that's was what you were trying to say , if you're trying to get into a top 20/25 school you shouldn't have any issues with gathering a scholarship to pay for it. Also if you're from a top 25 school you should EASILY be able to find a career to pay for it. I don't agree with your view on this.

the point of freeing up people from the loan debt isn't about if you can afford to pay it (tho there are tons of grads who cant) it's about correcting the burden incurred for exponentially skyrocketing educational costs and freeing a generation of people (across incomes) to direct funds into other parts of life and the economy (the way previous generations did), and for sanders/warren - the inevitable rise in their tax burden.

you don't have to agree with it, but i get why it's on the table, especially if they move to make public colleges tuition free. you can't have boomers having paid $10k for a degree, gen x - z with $50-150k in student debt, then gen whatever onward attending school for free. the loan forgiveness/reduction smooths over the costs incurred by those 2.5/3 generations

good luck in the fall with that.

 

[the cac mamba]

Nothing needs to be done.

and why is that fair to people who paid off their loans, or overpaid them to get rid of them? or chose to go to a state school because it was cheaper? or the people who dont go to college, but would have gone if they knew it would have been *poof* completely free?

we're just going with "it isnt", right? i mean that's cool, im just wondering what the actual argument is when it comes time to put this shyt in motion
