    Decided vote buying by child tax credit was better than vote buying a bunch of SJW baristas that are voting Dem anyway.

    Suburban Karens would not be happy with student loan bailouts.

    Biden is getting Trillions to dole out. How hard would it be for him to “forgive” some paltry amount say $2-5 grand across the board and fly the “Mission Accomplished” banner one more time?

    It wouldn’t be hard. It’s not as popular as Kobe wants you to think it is, or it would have happened. Same with green new deal, if it was why it was cracked up to be, there’d be a written bill. Both are better as theoretical talking points for crazy blue districts.

    If this gets the fucking millennials to STFU, $10K is worth it. Pay it and move on.

    Same with goddamned reparations bullshit. Pay $10K and then STFU, too.

    Mostly just STFU.

    They won’t STFU though. Just like slavery reparations won’t end any of the racism industrial complex.
    How can you expect them to be silent when gays and blacks don’t have equal rights in this country?

    Mixed feelings on student loan forgiveness. On one hand, loans should be repaid. Nobody made them take the student loan. On the other hand, academia has been a huge racket for awhile.

    An 18 year old with no credit can’t get a $10,000 loan to open a business, but they will give the same 18 year old $100,000 to attend college.

    The key question is why is it that student loans are the only loans of which you can't default via bankruptcy? Why?

    Because the fucktardery of incurring six figure debt for a sociology degree is beyond forgiveness.

    Because I would have coasted through a JD / MBA and wiped the slate clean on day 1. And I’m not the only one. The math isn’t hard

    Then lenders wouldn't lend for bullshit. Seems like a good solution.
