Of course you disagree. We have a fundamental difference in what we consider fair. I think everyone should pay income taxes. Nearly half pay no income taxes.
Farming is, and always has been, cyclical.
Fema was a million times more helpful than the red cross. Also two weeks of 101 macro is pretty devastating to libertarianism. It was all around the same time
Why wouldn’t you take the GI Bill? I believe I paid in 1200 or 2400 in 1997, which was a huge chunk of my base pay as a 2lt, and the benefit was somewhat limited. I think around $24k.I don’t think you you pay in or there is any limit to it if you go a state school. It is a hard earned benefit -why leave it on the table?
I didn’t say it was. I said the GI bill was earned, but the others I agreed with.
This is exactly the problem. It's a systemic issue. Sociology students should never take out $100K in loans.
PPE is a different animal. PPE is the government paying businesses to keep people employed while government entities are hindering the business (shutdowns, restrictions, etc.) PPE came with stated restrictions that had to be met, and the promise of forgiveness if those restrictions were met.
All of this is of course correct. Not to mention the reason thebloans were needed was a forced shut down of businesses by the government and they loans were intended to keep people employed. The loans were forgiven if the business demonstrated they kept employees and paid them. Lots of fraud but that doesn't change the fact that forgiveness was built into the intentA few things
1) PPP was passed by the Democrat controlled House 388-5. To use PPP as a “own” v Republicans is quite idiotic.

2) I’ve pointed out how big of a boondoggle PPP is and even created a thread about it…it was a very popular bipartisan boondoggle and was quite popular at the time it was passed.
PPP "Biggest Fraud in a Generation"
Many who participated in what prosecutors are calling the largest fraud in U.S. history — the theft of hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money intended to help those harmed by the coronavirus pandemic — couldn’t resist purchasing luxury automobiles. Also mansions, private jet flights...iowa.forums.rivals.com
3. PPP loan forgiveness was built into the program
4. Comparing PPP that had massive bipartisan support and went through the proper legislative process and Bidens loan forgiveness that skipped the legislative process and was done by EO is ridiculous.
5. People taking student loans knew very well they were required to pay them back. Well until the administration decided to flaunt the constitution and and use the “Hero’s act” that was enacted post 9/11 to circumvent the constitution.
Amazing stuff….maybe Democracy is in peril if we have an executive branch brazenly sneering it’s nose at the constitution to buy some votes in November.
Opinion | Biden’s Tuition Gambit Could (And Should) End Up in Court
Biden’s order erasing student debt isn’t fair to people who didn’t go to college or people who paid off their loans already. But his order is more than unfair: It’s unconstitutional.www.politico.com
Student loans suck.
I agree. I’m not wild about student loan forgiveness but if we have it, it should be authorized by congress. With that being said, the whole student loan / college pricing is fookin’ wacky. Something needs to be done but I don’t know what. In the meantime, state schools are good enough in my eyes. Served me and the wife well, and serving my son well thus far.
