Democrats are so effing stupid, you know that the country is laughing at all the BS that people like you and the media are putting out regarding threats to democracy, the end of the free press, Putin, we have already seen 4 years of Trump and 4 years of Biden and guess what, the Biden ship is sinking fast.

It certainly is Denny.

Same could be said of a mortgage.

Why should my children be required to repay the debt taken on by others Denny, I am sure that there are plenty of elderly and low income home owners who are having difficulty with their federally insured home loans, should we absorb all their debt as well? I would argue that they are probably more deserving of the financial help.

I have no problem with budget cuts but apparently those who rule over us do, it will never happen Denny nor will pay as you go.

You couldn't be more wrong Denny, if you loan someone money and they owe you a balance that is considered an asset on your balance sheet, if you forgive a loan to someone they have to report the amount forgiven as income and pay taxes on it. The government is no different, it does have a balance sheet and erasing a loan balance that is still outstanding is no different than spending money.

As far as Wealth T***sfer goes????? Student loan forgiveness shoots a huge hole in the federal budget, who is going to make that up Denny? Taxpayers maybe? Will those electricians, plumbers and contractors be asked to pay more to help make up that hole? As you and I argue here Biden is giving 100's of billions in forgiveness to college graduates while allowing the Trump tax cuts to expire in essence asking those plumbers, electricians, and contractors to pay more in taxes.

Really Denny, then why do they even charge interest at all? When Obamacare passed the CBO scored interest on student loans as a partial revenue source dedicated to funding Obamacare subsidies as well as other things....

You are wrong Denny!


" According to the Congressional Budget Office, $8.7 billion of the money collected in student loan interest payments actually goes to pay for ObamaCare. The CBO estimates that the interest rate on these loans could be reduced from 6.8 percent to only 5.3 percent were the funds not used to subsidize the healthcare reform law and other federal programs.

The profits from student loans are divided as follows: $8.7 billion goes to pay for ObamaCare; $10.3 billion goes to pay down the federal debt; and $36 billion goes to Pell Scholarship grants."

Of course Denny it does not take long for the government to turn promises into lies.....

How come I was not smart enough to explain that to the bank back when I had a mortgage?

So Denny, let me ask you a few questions, is the student debt program not a revenue stream for the federal government that when cancelled will have to be replaced by borrowing since the government continues to run deficits so every dollar coming into the government counts. When the government pays tuition for students does it not borrow money from the public in the form of interest paying treasury products? Are those interest payments not t***sferred to taxpayers? Does cancelling a revenue stream have no effect on taxpayers and national debt?

The left's claim that loan forgiveness costs taxpayers nothing is bogus and I am really surprised that you would buy into it. This is nothing more than the Biden Administration along with the Democrats attempting to buy the youth v**e with taxpayer's money. Why should Plummers, electricians, and construction workers be paying for college degrees when they never set foot into a university? It is a t***sfer of wealth from blue collar workers to white collar workers and for the life of me I can't see why you would support such unfairness in our society.

They can't until Biden is sued and to sue the administration you have to have standing, it is all Bulls**t Denny, Biden does not have the authority to spend hundreds of billions of dollars without congressional provision, he is just finding ways that will get around the court.

Why do you always come to the defense of that Asshole?

When Hamas attacks, rapes, murders, bakes babies in ovens, k*****g some 1200 people on 10/7 after a history of terrorist attacks on the Israelis, nobody is thinking about a "proportional response" proportional responses are for the wussy in the White House.

Sorry Denny, I lumped you in with the rest of the liberals, SCOTUS ruled that Biden does not have the authority to forgive Student Loans yet he continues to do so.

You and I differ, I don't think that the right to assembly is a broad as your interpretation, just because students pay tuition does not give them the right to control the property. I take a more narrow POV and the government does as well when it suits their purposes as exampled by permit requirements and using permits to control who assembles and for what causes. You may not care to see it but that too becomes political.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Where does the first amendment guarantee the right to block roadways, take over private college campuses, disrupt commerce, protest at private residences, the list goes on and on as to what some people think that the first grants them the right to do.... The first guarantees your right to your voice, it does not guarantee any right to do these other acts.

I get it, when I was young I saw the beauty of the ideals of Marxism and I have always lamented those who struggle for housing and feeding their families. But I also know that capitalism lifted millions if not billions out of abject poverty. I don't have answers I just see things that should not be, both in government and in the our economy. Personally I would much rather spend resources on fixing our inner cities than on the Ukraine, I would be pleased to see the income gap in our society to be more fair to hard working people, I just don't think that our government offers any workable solutions. I honestly feel that many of our politicians especially those who wield the most power are not at all concerned about outcomes but are focused on their own power and status.
