OK then...
Explain why bailouts of banks are a more viable option then forgiveness of student loan debt? Or is that too nuanced for you to explain?
1. ‘Bailout’ usually implies that the taxpayers bear the brunt of the financial ‘safety net’. That isn’t happening here. Shareholders of SVB, and some of the holders of unsecured loans, won’t get anything back. People who deposited money into SVB will. So when all shareholders and
leadership of the bank get told ‘sorry your money isn’t coming back’ that isn’t a bailout. So your entire premise isn’t correct to start with.
Svb has securities that will cover all coats after they mature.
Yall don't really research topics before you form opinions
Or in short, this
2. I’m in
favor of student loan forgiveness, but things like that require a voting throughout government. They haven’t gotten a large enough portion of the government to be in favor of student loan forgiveness. Student Loan Debt represents
almost 2 Trillion Dollars. If we just woke up one day and erased all of that, so many banks would take such massive losses that we’d have a real bank collapse, way bigger than what we just saw happen.
And while we’re here, student loans have been
paused for almost 3 years now. People act like that’s nothing, but it’s pretty significant. The money you woulda used to pay down your loans, what have
you done with it since the pause? Share with the class how you’ve flipped it?
You’re taking two topics completely separate of each other and trying to make a comparison. One of the many reasons that the SVB / Signature Bank discussion isn’t one that will be productive on this website.
