Because they know it can't be done, they just dangle that carrot for votes. It's the same when they talk about "affordable housing," or reparations.

Biden started this to buy votes and now he has to blame others for what he knew was coming. That is fraud.
I'm partially in a agreement with you, there is definitely some election strategy in play. There's nothing done by our elected government that can't have the same thing said about it though so it's kind of an irrelevant point.

As far as the "It's not faaaaaair" argument, I'm not hung up on the idea of fairness, I'd concede that nothing the government does is 100% fair to everyone.

The government making large loans easily available to jobless teenagers with relatively high interest rates that can't be discharged in bankruptcy is pretty retarded. There's worse ways to spend money than helping out people who are trying to make better lives for themselves, just like the restaurant owners we helped out with forgivable loans.

Just like he knew using OSHA for the vaccine mandate wouldn’t pass. But millions of people rushed out to get it for fear of their livelihood. A great day for big pharma none the less

There were loans being issued out to recruits in the academy, should they be forgiven?

Without knowing specifics, yes. I don't have a fundamental problem with it. They probably fall under the public service loan forgiveness program anyways.

Here's my opinion on all this, the country seems to be going to chit with poor motivation, obesity, inadequate education, and worsening job prospects and such. While weeding out the fuktards to the extent possible, if we need to help pay for the motivated Americans with potential to learn to serve on the police force, or become plumbers or accountants or whatever I'm all for it. And I don't even care about politics or if helping smart people is "racist", give credit where credit is due to any R or D who can pull it off.

These recruits were 21 and older, FULLY legal adults, they took out a loan for the academy, and you believe their loan should be forgiven based on "Feelz?"

I wouldn't say based on feels. I want to have a good police force to protect my chit and want the same for you. I'm willing to chip in for that.

How about a performance based forgiveness? For example, earn a 3.1 GPA and get 10% forgiven, 3.2 then 20% and so on.

Her tweet came almost exactly one year after it was reported that her and her husband had purchased a home in ritzy Bedford worth $1.14 million.

Her grandfather is famed New York Democrat Mario Biaggi who represented the Bronx for ten terms, she represented the same area during her tenure in the state senate. Mario ended up ion prison in the late 1980s after a wave of corruption scandals which saw him convicted of 15 felonies.

So responsible recruits who saved their money, to pay for the academy, they're ****ed, but those who take out a loan, at the age of 21 and older, take pity on them?

Yeah it's insane to me that no one wants to pay for my credit card debt and my mortgage. If you don't want to pay for my bills then you support corporations and PPP.

I'm appalled. How dare you refuse to sponsor my spring break vacations and my fun time? I'm a victim here.

Latinowarrior3 send me PM and I'll forward you my PayPal info where you can send me that donation dawg, we'll set up monthly recurring payment and everything. Fuk everyone else these bastards love them PPP big corporations and don't want to help a fellow man out. I'll be waiting for your PM bro.

I'm saying that "forgiveness" wasbuilt into the PPP law if employers met specific goals for staying in business and keeping people employed/paid.

"Forgiveness" was never built into student loans. Unilateral action by the US President to bypass laws and send the country another $400 Billion into debt was never built into any law.

Because of the backlash when 100% of taxpayers finally realize they're footing the bill for the 13% of US adults carrying student loans...?

The fact that Biden waited nearly two years, until he could pull an election season political stunt, proves he doesn't give a crap about those borrowers. He just wants to buy votes with new federal debt.

You're free to donate as much as you want to anyone's college fund or other charity. But expecting taxpayers to foot the bill for your and their decisions, is the topic at hand.

PS: Student loans have nothing to do with helping out or favoring corporations, whatever that straw man deflection is supposed to mean.

Was a stupid idea to begin with. But will only make the dems landslide in 24 more landslidey. Now the Rs have:

1. banned abortion
2. made it legal to discriminate
3. not allowed student loans to be forgiven

It's like Rs don't even want to win anymore. Everything they do is focuses on their small and shrinking base of uneducated, country yokels while pissing off the largest demographic of voters.

SAD

Only 13% of US adults have a student loan. Why would anyone vote for a platform that says "Elect me, and I'll increase the federal debt and raise your taxes to pay for a handful of people who don't want to pay their obligations"?

- People who never went to college: Pay!
- People who covered their own costs: Pay!

Boomer. This impact young people. Young people who have debt, those who are in college, and those who will soon go to college.

Boomer the GOP is seen as the party working against young people.

Even though I don't think student loans should be forgiven, the GOP blocking it will work quite bigly in the dems favor.

Why are you such a boomer?

You really need to get that keyboard fixed... "Boomer" continues to chatter out of it. Either that, or you're intentionally displaying your ignorance of what the word means.

Meanwhile, derp, expecting people to pay what they owe is "working against them"

Boomer, the GOP banned abortion, allowed discrimination, and now cut off student loan forgiveness.

Young people all support these things quite bigly. If you don't think the GOP is screwed going forward you're more of a boomer than even I thought.

Why should plumbers and electricians pay for someone's law or gender studies degree?

Simple solution. Strip the colleges of all their endowments to cover these loans instead.

Also I love how you endorse bad policy if its an election winner, as if being devoid of all principle and morals is somehow smart and clever.

I already said it was a dumb idea. I'm just pointing out that the GOP again is alienating the largest, and growing, voting block in the country. If this was in isolation no biggie, but combine it with banning abortion and making discrimination legal and now you have one party clearly working against the interests of young people.

Do you have any integrity at all?

I guess this is just the disconnect between me and the average liberal mind these days. I cant understand how you intentionally endorse destructive, bad policy because its the way to win elections by appealing to the base wants of morons. Nothing about that is moral or decent at all. You know its bad policy, but you advocate for it because its a way to gain power?

You are also trying to spin things by saying that they are making discrimination legal, when the exact opposite has just happened and the courts are trying to enforce a meritocracy through equality. Why would anyone have an issue with this? Why do you feel the urge to spin it this way? Why so disingenuous?

Man you are a nasty piece of work bro. Would literally sell your soul and self respect if it gets you what you want.

Chill boyo.

If I were in charge I would not have proposed student loan forgiveness. That said, when you combine it with the other political rulings lately it's quite clear the GOP is completely disconnected from young people today.

And you may not think it but the supreme court saying it's ok to discriminate against homos is also extremely unpopular with young people.

I think when so many young people cant tell the difference between a man and woman, perhaps the changes to laws that led to that insanity in the first place need to be considered for their own good.

A Sille vs Nutsy debate isn't even fun to watch. It'd be like Mike Tyson boxing a 3 year old. The fact that Nutsy would even engage with Sillie just further illustrates his lack of intelligence. Nutsy should stick to doing what he does best, sucking fat cock.

Also, leaving abortion up to the states isn't "banning abortion".

For someone so "bigly educated", he sure isn't very bright.
