Uh.... what? No. Biden failed fucking miserably. Our economy is about to literally crash because off his failure to address this. Not to mention THIS IS HIS FAULT! When he was a congressman, he created the legislature that made student loans unforgivable if you declared bankruptcy. From that day forward, college tuition skyrocketed. He is solely and directly responsible. This dude is a lying scumbag in orders of magnitude.
i don’t think “solely” (he alone) is correct, given the myriad problems with how the USA funds higher education: he may have contributed to 1 of many problems
also “about to literally crash because of” is a stretch and a half when there’s a war going on, the aftermath of a global pandemic, and the various other issues that have cropped up in the last few years
being hyperbolic doesn’t help move discussion forward; in fact often it will put people off-side because they assume the underlying facts are bogus
Student loans are what kept me from being able to buy a home before the pandemic, and now they’re going to keep me from being able to afford a grave after the pandemic.
I make decent money but everything is so stupid fucking expensive and now add the student loan payment coming back these guys just like to shit on everyone that isn’t part of the bourgeois.
My problem is the people who advocated for not forgiving student loans are the same people who were more than happy to take hundreds of thousands in forgiven PPP loans. If they want student loans paid back with interest, why not pay these PPP loans back with the same 10% interest that we have to pay?
It’s a farce, and no I’m not upset that people who make less than me are getting a break.im upset because the artificial cutoffs for people who are cut out of help now doesn’t mean that they too are struggling and could for sure use the help.
For everyone else, loans will be forgiven no matter what after a maximum of 25 years, and Pierce said all borrowers should expect even more changes to the student loan system coming next summer.
Am I correct in thinking that no matter what, after 25 years whatever you would owe would be discharged?
From a humanitarian standpoint, I feel we needn’t make it more emotionally difficult for anyone. Struggling just to get medical care should not be required.
