Mine will likely never be eliminated unless it all goes away because I make too much, and that’s totally fine by me. I want as many people to get relief as possible! Public colleges and universities should be free, and student debt should not be a thing. At least not the way it is now.
He’s also wiping out tens of thousands of women and children in Palestine.
Biden’s already eliminated a ton of it. I’m glad to see he’s still going on this despite the Supreme Court ruling, and I don’t even have student loans.
“Try.”
Well, he has been very successful at it so far. Why doubt him this time around?
Because it’s easier to rag on Biden than it is to actually educate oneself on what’s been accomplished.
For me it’s a case of “I’ll believe it when I see it.” Not ragging on Biden, I believe he’s earnest in his desire to do something about student loan debt, but it’s all the road blocks that are put in his way. A lot of people don’t want student loan debt relief for whatever reason.
That’s fair. I have experienced it 2nd hand through my wife, so I am believing it because I’ve seen it. That was a massive relief after she had faithfully paid her loan for 20 years, but due to dishonest loan advisers and refinancers, she was exactly one of the victims that John Oliver made an episode about.
Biden fixed it and forgave her loan, which was still substantial after 20 years.
Hey man, I’m happy for her. Sometimes things do work out. But again, until that balance is reduced through something other than my paycheck, I won’t hold my breath
The problem is when it happens no one ever sees it.
Biden does all kinds of good stuff and the media ignores it.
Yeah, agreed. The Biden administration isn’t great at banging it’s chest and boasting. Take out a full page and in the NYT kind of stuff.
I definitely sympathize with people in college debt, but this feels like just temporary wins and doesn’t address the real problems. This won’t solve the overpriced cost of education. Forgive debt now, a new crop of students will just go into debt next, right?
We need universities to be completely free, universal single payer health care, drastically cheaper housing to rent and own, etc.
Why do you want free universities for degrees that actually give a net benefit?
And the reason housing is so expensive is directly due to government intervention in housing.
because I’m not a piece of shit and want to see my fellow Americans do better. a rising tide lifts all boats.
I am also a piece of shit who thinks good things are good even if someone else gets a bit more good than I get.
How does useless degrees lift all boats?
Wow TIL all degrees are useless.
What’d you get your degree in? Maybe you got a useless one.
Where did I say all degrees are useless? I got my degrees in engineering and science.
Dude you must think they get their degrees in feminist dance or some boogeyman degree. News flash you want some people to get good jobs with that “useless” feminist dance degree. Because if not, they’re going to crowd into degrees like engineering and greater numbers of engineering grads creates greater competition for engineering jobs… which drives down the pay that most engineers get, plus it reduces the odds of actually getting a starter engineering job. Supply & demand.
Signed, 100% NOT a feminist.
The market pretty much tells us what are useful and useless degrees. The issue with your theory is that people do crowd into engineering and then the joke is after they fail they do business.
Good. Keep taking advantage of those loopholes.
I am all for it. Just wish it didn’t take a genocide for his numbers to dip far enough to need the PR boost
He has been working on student loan forgiveness well before the Gaza conflict
Aaaaaaaaaand where’s he gotten with it?
Assuming correctness: 136000000000/1750000000000*100 = ~7.77%. While this is not nothing, boy it just doesn’t sound like the student loan forgiveness he promised does it?
Lmfao
Edit: it’s funny cuz it sounds familiar, hope he does but we’ll see
Its not quite the right context yet, but I made this just in case.
Clearly Biden has an infinite money supply and could go around Congress at any moment. Why doesn’t he just pay for all of it?
I don’t even get the logic here
Why is this college tuition money so hard for Biden to obtain when he is currently going over the head of a different branch of government to get large amounts of money. What’s stopping him in this specific case? What works in the other case?
Not sure what you’re getting at. when did he go outside of the legislative branch to get money?
