AOC with a shot across the bow early today
- Thread starter THE_DEVIL
- Start date
I can’t understand why my largest financial portfolio is up over $4000 so far today. I was assured it would be a bloodbath today.
So trickle down worked for you?
Lol. The tea baggers are back after a four-year hiatus.
So, you are saying we must rescind Trump’s massive, and unpaid for, tax cuts that have ballooned the debt?
Student loan "cancellation"?
Like all the companies who've loaned out billions of dollars will just cancel them? That would be... unusual.
As someone who took out, and has been paying back, student loans - I think everyone ought to be responsible for paying back the money they borrowed. I certainly don't want to become responsible for paying everyone's loans back through my taxes.
Now, if they want to work to figure out a way to make college affordable (or at least less unaffordable), then I'd be on board with that.
And so it begins . . .
Can't wait to watch the next two years.

I don’t understand either. I am not going to complain, but I don’t foresee corporations liking a 28-30% tax rate or more. I am curious how these increases taxes are going to impact the middle class as Biden continuously said it would only impact people making over $400 K.
Welcome back Tea Party.
You're reported to the Truth Commission.
What about the 3 years prior when everything was roses and we kept adding debt?
Funny how very few said shit then.
There is no such thing as a tax on corporations. Any tax increase will be passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices on goods and services.
Just like we all saw massive drops in prices for goods and services when the GOP passed a massive tax cut for them, Amirite?
I have always been against increasing the debt......no matter which party does it. I believe n a balanced budget.
Kind of like what we dems said about tariffs and Trumpers were like what?
Mostly agree here, the main problem is the cost of college, fix that and the student loan issue works itself out in 15 to 20 years.
For anyone over, say, $500k maybe a mil, I'd be good with that.
Then why haven't you been voicing that the past 4 years? I don't recall you saying much then but I could be wrong.
Also, this is exactly the time when you do spend more ... we should be reducing debt when times are good to "save" for a rainy day like this.
I'm sorry AOC, but if you chose to go to Boston University and racked up a bunch of student loans you need to handle that yourself.
Lol...many here will attest to my multi-year habit of posting this (and, sadly earlier smaller numbers) through both GOP and Dem administrations.
I have been consistent with this.
Student loan cancellation is the dumbest “issue” out there. What is depressing is the number of people that fall for it.

That is not entirely accurate the elasticity of demand holds that increase in tax would be split between higher prices and lower profits--unless, of course, you have a monopoly over necessities.
On January 20, 2017 this number was 19.9, so it’s up 36% during Trump’s term.
Here we go...worrying about the debt and deficit again. Cons are so predictable.
Yes, likely not going to occur, however, it starts a policy conversation regarding lowering costs for higher education which has spiraled out of control - at some places 300% greater than inflation.
