For any of the BOTH PARTIES ARE THE SAME folks, can you imagine any con ever doing this? Tell the truth please.

LIke everything, it wont be enough for some folks and I wont debate that because if it was me ALL of this debt would be erased...But THIS is the DIFFERENCE between the parties. I mean ALL no matter your income.

Higher education must be without cost otherwise we suffer big time.
I sigh in your general direction.

The right is going nuts on this, showing their hatred for the non-rich. They are showing what they are made of, they have no sympathy for the non-rich with crushing student loan debt. They are showing us what they are made of, and I think they will lose votes on this one.

And they are sending out KGB twitterers to whine about how it is not enough or they paid off their loan, what about them...for the 3% of those that are from real people, fuck you.

Them and the far left horseshoes on Twitter, who went to school for free when tuition was $1K a year, their rent was $180/mo., and they supplemented their financial with growing/selling pot.

That was until their trust funds matured.

:problem:

They, too, have a lot of contempt for those of us who worked our way through school and took out massive loans to do so.

if you have a problem with the student loan cancellation because you already paid off your loans, just pretend its a tax cut for the rich that you also never got but mysteriously didn't complain about.

Remind me Jimmy boy. How many times did Trump declare bankruptcy?

Two of my four kids finally get some relief. Thank you Joe.

The republican battle bawl...The libs are buying votes, the libs are buying votes, the libs are buying votes, the libs are buying votes!!!!!!

Ya, so what? Biden finally came through with a campaign promise. It's how you get votes. It's how elections are won.

The question should be, how do the republicans buy votes? The republican promises given to win elections?

It's no more complicated than this:

The government took your money and lent it to other people. Now Biden is saying they don't have to pay it back.

For working-class and middle-class people wanting a college education? Never.

For Congress's most corrupt, crazy, white-conservative grifters? As soon and as often as possible.

Rick Scott attacking President Biden for cancelling student debt for middle and lower class Americans while vacationing in Italy on a yacht tells you everything you need to know about the Republican Party.

@CharlotteAlter

GenX/millennials/GenZ are carrying the financial burden for educational costs that the state carried for earlier generations.

In Colorado, state funding for education dropped 70% btwn 1980-2011. In SC: 66%. In AZ: 62%.

Students picked up the tab.

President Biden
@POTUS
United States government official

The burden of student loan debt is especially heavy for Black and Hispanic borrowers who on average have less family wealth to rely on to pay for college. And the pandemic only made things worse.

This relief helps to narrow the racial wealth gap and advance racial equity.

Well, after this tweet, I just hope the conservative whites don't run to the Barrio and Black parts of town to torch them.

Anyway, glad he said this.

President Biden
@POTUS

United States government official
America’s middle class and working families need more breathing room.

That’s why nearly 90% of the relief provided through my Administration’s action on student loan debt relief will go to folks making less than $75,000 a year.

These "party of personal responsibility" conservative whites hate educated normal people this much.

So pathological. :?
___________

Release of PPP loan recipients' data reveals troubling patterns - NBC News
The analysis by NBC News, one of 11 newsrooms that sued for the release of data, also shows:

• Over 25 PPP loans worth more than $3.65 million were given to businesses with addresses at Trump and Kushner real estate properties, paying rent to those owners. Fifteen of the businesses self-reported that they only kept one job, zero jobs or did not report a number at all.

• The loans to businesses located at Trump and Kushner properties included a $2,164,543 loan to the Triomphe Restaurant Corp., at the Trump International Hotel & Tower in New York City. The company reported the money didn’t go to keeping any jobs. It later closed.

• A company called LB City Inc, which is located at Kushner’s Bungalow Hotel in Long Branch, New Jersey, received a loan for $505,552.50 that it used to keep 155 jobs.

• Two tenants at 725 5th Avenue, Trump Tower, received more than $100,000 and kept only three jobs.

• Four tenants at the Kushner-owned 666 5th Avenue combined received more than $204,000, and retained only six jobs.
There were also some troubling signs of mismanagement revealed in the data. Over 100 loans were made to companies where no business name was listed, were listed as “no name available” or showed potential data entry errors, such as names that appeared to be dates or phone numbers. More than 300 companies appear to have each gotten more than $10 million in loans through their subsidiaries. Businesses were not supposed to receive more than $10 million per entity, except for those in the food, hospitality or hotels industries.

These WNs got the interest on the loan back, as well.

Wonder if this $10-20K dollar amount also includes accrued interest, hm.

I sure hope so.

@RiegerReport

REPORTER: Is this unfair to people who paid their student loans or chose not to take out loans?

BIDEN: Is it fair to people who, in fact, do not own multi-billion-dollar businesses if they see one of these guys getting all the tax breaks? Is that fair? What do you think?

Et tu, Bezos Post?

Washington Post editorial board calls Biden student loan bailout 'regressive, expensive mistake'
Board called plan "ill-conceived and misdirected"
https://justthenews.com/accountability/ ... ve-mistake

It's not regressive.
Expensive? Well, relative to some other questionable government expenditures. Eh?

Let us know as soon as you challenge the PPP loan program.

I hope you a-holes actually try it.
