Funny how we’re so concerned about the cost of stuff when it comes to actually helping people. Corporations and military get blank checks tho and 1% get trillions in tax cuts
Student Loans shouldn't be forgiven. We should focus on cost.

straw man.
give us the blank check. It's better. It's like you didn't even try to read the OP
Committee For a Responsible Budget is a bipartisan think tank full of deficit and national debt hawks.
Mitch McConnell isn't passing shyt. Biden has executive orders. Compromise and Settlement is codified in federal law. Use it, cancel debt. Doesn't even have to cancel all of it. He can cancel a lot of it and it would impact many lives.

it's not fair that i'm paying for someone's housing, groceries, school and medical care right now either. let's focus on costs, then we can get rid of EBT cards/WIC, medicare/medicaid, public schools, and section 8/public housing so the millions not using those programs don't have to take on that debt

Similar to you all, this op-ed is a weak argument in favor of the college bailout

There is a very easy way to fix this, you don't even have to to forgive the loans (though I am for this even though I saved up for my kids college everyone doesn't have it like that).
Just make federal and private students loans be to discharged in bankruptcy settlements. Yes is a stain on someone's credit but it allows people to at least start over or work out a settlement where there is a set dollar amount to pay back and the terms are finite.

How many of y’all who either don’t owe student loans or make too much money to have loans forgiven think 1.5 trillion spent on loan forgiveness is a better idea then spending that same 1.5 trillion on giving money to people based on their income? I’m just curious
if you make less than 125k and owe student loans then I’m not curious

This is what I'd advocate for.
1.5T divided by 225M adults is $6,666 per person and that's w/o adjusting it for income.
That's a MUCH better stimulus that forgiving the loans, imo
The average family can do SO much with 6K - 24K. shyt ain't even funny.

Can we merge this thread with main student loan thread......
No reason why we should be having 20+ different discussion about the same topic.
