As a Democrat I CANNOT Support Biden after he forgives student debt

There's more people on my side not wanting to see $6 bread and $15 ground meat than on your side...

Doesn't change the fact that you being whiny :)

Yes we do agree.

Do you just spend your days on this earth being angry?

Its a weird time for student loan forgiveness. Recent college graduates have never done as well as they are doing now. I don't remember a time in the past where so many very good paying jobs are waiting for recent grads.

Things are good for them. In the past good jobs were very hard for them to get.

You're projecting as your kind are always doing...

Study after study has shown that liberals are unhappy and angry.

You just think I'm angry because YOU are always angry.

The highest average debt level is actually held by those in the 35-49 demographic, which would indicate either individuals who went to professional school or people who graduated during the great recession that were not able to find jobs in their fields right away. I did some rough math looking at three factors (likelihood to have at least an associate degree, likelihood to take on student debt and the average amount of student debt). From that it looks like the ethnic group that benefits the most from this is whites (likely to go to school, likely to take on debt and a high amount of debt), followed by blacks (less likely to go to school, but higher debt and greater likelihood to take on debt), then Asians (mostly likely to go to school, but least likely to take on debt and lowest amount of debt) and finally Hispanics (least likely to go to school, likely to take on debt, but same average debt as Asians). Based on these numbers it looks like whites and blacks derive about the same benefit, while Asians derive about 2/3 of the benefit and Hispanics derive about 1/3 of the benefit.

Millions of prime-working-age Americans will no longer be weighed down by unprecedented student loan debts? That means more new families. That means more new businesses. That means more retirement savings and less strain on entitlement programs. That means economic growth! And Republicans are upset about this?

Once again, Democrats deliver for the American people while Republicans b*tch and moan from the sidelines. Rather than scream and fearmonger about nonsense ("CRT! Drag Queens! Caravans! Cancel Culture! Stolen Election! Killer vaccines!"), Dems actually govern. They pulled us out of the pandemic and pulled us out of forever wars. They finally passed major legislation to help repair our crumbling infrastructure and reduce prescription drug prices. They finally passed legislation to address pollution and climate issues and bolster domestic clean energy. They finally provided adequate funding for the IRS so the wealthy can't avoid taxes while average americans make up the difference. They brought the world together to face down an expansionist tyrant in Russia. Republicans complained about all of it. That's all they know how to do!

Let's go, Brandon!

Bro I’m literally drinking a beer playing with home grown tomatoes right now.

This is easy. Pay back what you owe, interest free. Based on 30 year payment plan based on income.

But Democrats aren’t interested in loan forgiveness. That 10k will me made back in interest in no time. This is just a smoke screen to make it seem like they care.

Good point. If there is a time for student loan forgiveness it may be during a severe recession.

May wanna change ur username, guy!

1. Student loan debts are about the same as when I graduated when adjusted for inflation. To say they are unprecedented is misinformation.

2. People with student loan debt should not be on entitlement programs. If you have student loan debt and qualify for an entitlement program that means you either didn't work hard enough or got a degree in a worthless major. In either scenario, it is your own damn fault.

3. It doesn't mean economic growth. It means inflation. About 1/8th of the population has student loan debt. Given the amounts of forgiveness and the income restrictions, this will end up benefitting about 10% of the population at the expense of the entire population [it will cost the average taxpayer $2,000 and will cost everyone in inflation (last year Bidenflation cost the average family about $5,000)]. So yes, the other 90% should be pissed off that they are having to pay (many of whom paid off their own student debts) off your student debts.

4. You forgot to mention the inflation that all those bills created and how they are driving us into an economic spiral that will not end well any time soon. All that money they are giving away was not theirs to give.

Holding up Nancy Pelosi as some kind of constitutional expert? Man, it's a really tough day for conservatives!

This is funny to me hearing all the comments about, what about me and now we will have to pay for it, it's running up the debt.

Newsflash....you already pay for tons of expenses of the federal government that you may never use at all, directly or indirectly.

Where were all of you complaing when trump reduced the corporate tax rates and on the wealthiest individuals, which caused a $92 billion shortfall in revenue?
Were you all complaining when the government flooded the monetary supply with $2 trillion during the Pandemic. The federal budget is $4.4 trillion and we over spend every year.

We have given $13 billion in aid to Ukraine and nobody said a word. Now you are overly concerned about U.S. government debt because some people have $10K or $20K forgiven from student debt. Where was your concern the last 40 years?

Oh please. Many of us have been concerned about some of the above although I admit many of the Republicans probably were not.

SO many words to say so little.

I didn't see posters like you moaning about the $16 BILLION given away by your Orange Cult Leader to farmers when he got crushed by his own efforts to tangle with Chinese tariffs. $16B given away to mostly massive corporate farm entities, and yet page after b-tching page of whining about a buck going into the pockets of the middle class.

I'll listen to you government slush scolds when you begin to care about massive give aways to oligarchs and corporations. Until then, STFU.

This is the most negative post I've read on here. You literally agreed to get shot at because your loans were too big for you to pay back via conventional means. But instead of conceding that you shouldn't have had to do that to get an education, you double down on it and think it's a perfectly reasonable system.

You scrimped and saved because it was expensive and you could barely afford to go. Now you're denying help to people in the same situation. Don't glorify living in poverty, the United States is wealthy enough to have paid your college fees, it's a political decision that they weren't. I don't want to blow your mind but imagine a world so full of possibility that you could have gone to college AND had a vacation.
