I'm also not a fan of corporate bail outs either. The biggest issue I have with it is you keep the same dummies running the company that got them in the position of needing a bail out.
True, but since the pause, people took on new debt (mainly due to inflation) so that few hundred bucks per month they had for their student loan is now going towards a different debt.

This fall is going to be pretty bad for a lot of people...

trust me if I could take all the money given to every other country and use that to pay off student loans, I would. Ideally we wouldn't pay either

I'm for this, and still have some student loans to pay back. I just haven't been making any new payments because I didn't need to with the covid block.

Student loan forgiveness will just make inflation higher and now it lowers Biden's credibility because he cant commit to what he promised.

Bring back Trump the GOAT.

Yeah right. Hopefully everyone learned a lesson and the lib party is dead for good. Everyone is sick of the left.

You and I, and everyone in this thread all know that's not how the political climate is going to shift based on this ruling.

Then that's their financial stupidity. How many went out and bought a car because now they had a few extra hundred bucks they weren't paying to student loans? Or bought a house?
You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Losing issue for GOP unless they are complete retards (they are) they will put something forward. 0%-1% interest, cap monthly payment at 3%-5% of take home. SOMETHING

Under what metric? Boomers (the largest conservative voting block) are dying out. Gen Z and Millineals are now the largest voting block and the oldest demographics within those groups are not becoming politically conservative as they age at the rate their parent did.

And that would be fine if they simply didn't vote since older people are typically more politically engaged, but now you're directly affecting them (RvW/AA/and now studen loans) and putting a fire under their ass to go vote and they're going to vote blue.

Not sure but it was probably a lot because they were led to believe for years that the loan would be either forgiven or significantly reduced.

Never double down on stupid...

Car repos are up significantly. Excited for the market crash so I can finally get a house. Hopefully 08 all over again.

Absolutely pathetic.

This is exactly what my brother said about it (attorney). He also said Biden was likely aware that it would never go through, and did this for political optics. Not to say that it will pass through congress anytime soon either. Politicians and their games man.

Wasn't going to pass regardless. They had a thin majority because of Manchin and Sinema
