August 23, 20223 yr Author Honestly, it's pretty amazing that he's gotten this much done with a 50/50 Senate. More productive than Obama's first term in just his first 18 months, and Barry had a filibuster-proof majority. That's Big Balls Biden for you.
August 24, 20223 yr Let's be honest... if you spent countless hours being the best president in the history of America and decided to take a well earned vacation, you'd want to keep Oprah and Kathy Lee off your lawn.
August 24, 20223 yr Can't make this stuff up. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/gop-senator-relaxes-yacht-italy-192235289.html GOP Senator Relaxes on Yacht in Italy as He Bashes Biden for Taking Vacation Sen. Rick Scott is spending a portion of the congressional recess chilling on a fancy yacht in Italy, according to a report from Axios. The senator’s Mediterranean sojourn comes after he lambasted President Biden on Monday for "vacationing in Delaware vs. working at the White House.” He bashed him earlier this summer, too, writing that if "Biden wants to hide from the problems his disastrous policies have caused, he should resign.”
August 24, 20223 yr If Rick Scott wants to flee the country to hide from the problems his disastrous legislation has caused, he should resign. See how that works?

August 24, 20223 yr Yes Biden is doing so well that the DNC has to send out talking points for his pretend "wins" and they have to try buying votes via loan forgiveness. This is going smoothly for you guys

August 24, 20223 yr Could all of the libertarians weigh in on their thoughts on student loan forgiveness?
August 24, 20223 yr 18 minutes ago, Mike31mt said: Could all of the libertarians weigh in on their thoughts on student loan forgiveness? The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board eviscerated President Biden’s much-anticipated student loan handout as an "inflation expansion act" and "vote-buying at its most raw." According to the Penn Wharton Budget Model, a one-time maximum debt forgiveness of $10,000 for borrowers who make less than $125,000 will cost around $300 billion for taxpayers. The cost increases to around $330 billion if the program is continued over the standard 10-year window, according to the figures. As for the loan-payment moratorium, what began in March 2020 as pandemic emergency relief now rolls on and on. The moratorium so far is estimated to have cost some $115 billion. Another four-month extension could cost $15 billion to $20 billion more," the editorial board continued. "There’s more to say about loan forgiveness if Mr. Biden announces it—such as he lacks the legal authority without an act of Congress; it would benefit the affluent at the expense of those who don’t attend college; and it would benefit the spendthrift over the responsible who repaid their loans or decided to go to a school that costs less. It’s vote-buying at its most raw. Not sure how anyone, libertarian or not, could disagree.

Not sure how anyone, libertarian or not, could disagree. I definitely agree. Im against any student loan bailouts. It may be the biggest example of vote buying since that one president that who insisted his signature gets put on every stimulus check.

August 24, 20223 yr My daughter just paid her loans off so it hardly seems fair. Not sure if she still owed any on her Stafford ones or if they were private. She did get a $5K reduction for teaching in the city for 5 years. I'd rather see reductions like this, due to your field, or something like that, not just a broad here's $10K.
August 24, 20223 yr Author I'm just curious as to the mechanism/legal rationale. I've always said that outright cancellation of the whole amount would not hold up legally, and they seem to agree. There is some wiggle room to do this in a somewhat piecemeal fashion through existing programs, like what they did with the nonprofit loan forgiveness, but I'm really wondering what the workaround is for this latest 10k. As far as the actual issue itself goes, this is a "bailout" that I really have no issue with it, given the propensity of our elected officials to bailout those at the top like it's nothing. I just would prefer that it be accomplished through the proper legislative channels. At an economic level, I think that COVID probably wrecked some situations beyond repair, student loan repayment being one of them. In the short and near-term, it would be better for this chunk of the citizenry to have more disposable income to be investing and funneling it back into the economy. Full resumption would simply compound the crisis and very possibly fuel another recession. If we don't do something about the loan crisis, it will come home to roost sooner or later in some form or fashion of economic catastrophe and, perhaps ultimately, societal collapse. I say this as someone who zeroed out his federal loans years ago. As to whether this is a vote-getter or vote-loser, that remains to be seen. The administration is obviously hedging on the former...
August 24, 20223 yr The fact that the Biden campaign felt they needed to promise total student loan forgiveness in order to beat the candidate who'd been twice impeached for attempting a coup and using taxpayer money to bribe a foreign country for election help is probably the macro commentary of the entire state of American politics. We're so brutally close to ceding control of everything to the idiots on either side.
