Student Loan Forgiveness

Joe ONLY loves government money given to corps, NEVER to actual humans on the ground for ANYTHING, SS, Medicare, subsidized housing, food stamps, unemployment benefits, military veteran GI bill, disabled vet help. But he goes all warm inside when GM gets a billion dollars from the government.

Sonhouse, you fellers are writing all over the place. Let us discuss corp money, whatever, but can you first tell me why a student debt of a college graduate with a 2nd or 3rd level paying job should have his loan erased, but the non-college family guy does not have his mortgage, which is in arrears, erased .
What if each of these guys were your brothers....which one would you help? Sonhouse? You can put Trump in your answer if you would like.

Somehow you love these analogies but cannot tackle the boondoggle of corporate welfare.

Life's not fair Joe. Get over it.

Gotta say, I like your 'life is not fair' comment. Do not libs think that everything should be fair......that, like Kamala put it, 'at the end of the day, we all end up at the same place.

@wildgrass said
Uh, no. Libs don't think that.

You've been saying throughout this entire thread that student loan forgiveness isn't fair. Sheesh.

But Kamala thinks that, (all equal) , she being as liberal as communist Chinese. (is Chinese a noun or an adjective?) If I say Chinaman Suzy will call me out racist!!
So , I don't think that either. Libs and me think, then, that we will never end up the same at the end of the day. (We will Not be Equal). Common Ground wildgrass,,,,a subject deserving of its own thr ...[text shortened]... e work harder than others", then introduce it, and I will take it from there.
Dude, man. Slay!

You've fallen into the "if any liberal thinks something, then all of them do" trap.

Lazy.

Some conservatives are Nazis. Let's not judge all eggs based on the broken ones.

Edit: I'm not even a lib. How'd I end up defending them? This forum is weird.

@AverageJoe1
Well I can tell you this. MY mortgage is in trouble and my mortgage company is going over backwards to help. I just secured a decent job, getting close to 28 bucks an hour at a real high tech company and I will be able to make amends financially but it was their work that helped me out.

Like I said, you HATE the government giving ANYONE money.

If there was some bill passed to pay off ALL mortgages, you would bitch about THAT too.

Because it is CLEAR as a bell, you HATE government helping poor folks.

So how many homeless are you putting up in your hotels eh? Helping out in a feed line must really assuage your ego.

@wildgrass said
As has been repeatedly mentioned in this thread, it is not only student loans. Student loans were the exception until now.

Instead of for individuals, though, how about we do it for enormous multi-billion dollar industries?

If people do not like the terms of the loan they should not borrow the money. There are all sorts of loans. Why should one kind of loan be sanctioned while others are not? And isn't loan forgiveness a stab in the back to people that decided not to take on the burden of a student loan? How is that fair to them? If they knew the loans would be sanctioned in the future maybe they would have gone to college.

Address the real problem. Higher education is too expensive.

These (this) question has been here for about 4 weeks, and liberals will not answer it. The Real issue, to me, is not how they might answer,,,,,,but, why don't they answer? Libs do not answer questions. Sincerely, AvJoe

Some People Work Harder That Others

You don't want to take into account the fact a MILLION people are dead in the US alone from Covid and factories have closed and millions thrown out of jobs.
Unemployment lasts only a year max and this dam virus has been around for more than 2 years now.
I was fortunate to get the job I have now into my third week there but a lot of folks have trouble finding jobs in spite of the fact millions of jobs are going wanting.
The unemployment rate is under 4 % but that 4% may be the ones in the most trouble financially and medically.

I am fortunate to have a healthy body, not so sure of my mind🙂 but I am gainfully employed.
