re: Happy Student Loan Payments Resume After a 3-Year Pause month

That could also happen if we forgave student loans and ramped inflation up more.

True, but they're spending either way. I'd have rather they spent money on this than Ukraine. Instead we're going to get the government spending (which is a double-negative against the economy) AND a bunch of people defaulting on a bunch of stuff they couldn't afford.

I don't think forgiveness was the solution, but starting it back like this also isn't going to help things. I also think doing it this way makes it more likely we end up with full forgiveness. The Dems are definitely going to be running on college loans forgiveness and "Republicans have no plan for the college loans crisis" (which is true) and I think they've set this up perfectly for that. They'll be talking about this during election season right as all the morons who will let the interest accrue for a year start paying again and seeing that their balance is suddenly higher now "for no reason."
