I would rather burn my money than pay for your student loan

In U.S., dandelions or weeds could be used to produce ethanol. In U.S., we waste perfectly good eatable corn to make ethanol, shrinking the supply of corn on the open market. It has no net benefit to the environment either.

Taxpayers money goes to plenty of useless undertakings, at least for you and me. Anytime a foreign nation defaults on a loan, we the US, bail them out.

We’ve bailed out the banks and the auto industry, we subsidize farms and half of our annual budget goes to military.

Resources aren’t funneled to where we want them to go

No tax payer relief for liberal arts fairies.

I'd rather burn my money than help pay the fire department to put out a fire on your house.

In this very thread I argued against student loan forgiveness several months ago. I've changed my tune. Every big bank gets bail outs. Farmers get endless bailouts. We still have troops in Germany 70 years after WWII. The economy gives 'perks' to people for many types of activity, including homeowners who get mortgage deduction breaks and property owners who can depreciate and write off costs. Boat owners, aircraft owners, everybody who can lobby gets a break. Pure fvcking corruption.

Our students are handed tens of thousands of dollars but there are no allowances for the ones who will fail in their 'life business' venture. Business owners can write off MUCH cost and depreciation AND can walk away through bankruptcy if the business falls apart, which MOST of them do. I know few affluent people anymore who don't register some sort of LLC to scam on their taxes. But we cannot allow leeway for a kid who made a bad choice in their initial 'life business' endeavor?

That's where the student loan bubble falls down for me. When the corrupt elites blocked kids from being able to discharge these garbage loans in bankruptcy, the loans became predatory IMO, and that's where the corruption and greed of the rich went too far in this scheme. Everybody wins except the student who has no path to being made whole upon failure. It's pure corruption and it's evil.

Let the rich and the banks eat some sh!t for once. Same with the banksters and dirty, corrupt politicians. Change the laws to at least allow good faith bankruptcy discharge for those former students who fall on hard times. That is the very least we can do in a country that slides slush to every rich scumbag and helps out mostly the richest when they fall down.

The US must have money. Congress just passed an aid bill to give Israel 38 billion.

How about risk adjusted student loans? Dumb high school kids majoring in liberal arts in college would get a high interest rate based on low ability to pay back loans. Demand by students in unemployable major programs go down, states save money and silly programs get axed saving even more money. And best of all much reduced whining about student loans.

Farmer in Chehalis, Washington wrote:I'd rather see the government waste my tax dollars on something useless than use it to pay off your student loan. That's how much I hate student loan forgiveness.

Something useful? Oh, like continued farm subsidies that YOU have been living off of for decades. Isn't that the kettle calling the pot black. Hey, how about cut off both student loan repayments AND farm subsidies?

Ever noticed how those most in favor of loan forgiveness majored in something worthless to civilization or barely passed classes while finding time and money to get blitzed every weekend? If student loans are continued they should be rate adjusted based on likelihood to repay and grade performance.

Bumping this thread in anticipation of tomorrow.

Dark Brandon strikes again. Buying votes while the Trumpers reeeeeeeeeeeee.

I sense pervasive jealously that the current executive is using his power much more effectively than the former did.

Both guys leave much to be desired. The function of the executive is to enforce laws; I find the President giving money to people distasteful no matter who they are because money should ONLY come from Congress. Pass a bill/law or get out of the District!

Now, predatory schools that perpetrated fraud on their students--that's a different story.

I would rather pay for your student loans than drone bomb brown people in the Middle East for 20 years

Lets go Joe Brandon!!!

They were all predatory my bro

I'm with you

Let's Go Brandon, Let's Go Brandon!

Some Dark Brandon energy for you, filthy rethuglican animals.

Keep crying so the Dems can drink some of your delicious tears, losers.

Dark Brandon is half dead making common sense policy decisions trump could never do with a Republican base.

Bumping again to expose this reactionary dumb a$$ take. Thread is not going well for you OP
