I pay taxes. I will be. As will future generations since it will come from future debt service. True, it will be worse for my kid. But I don't want her to have to pay other people bills either.

THis is fun.

This may be the dumbest thing I've read on this board, ever. At least on the topic of economics.

Millions of people are struggling because they invested in something that turned out to have no value. They were scammed. 


Scammed?

Please define.

They couldn't make a half million a year following their passion and studying basket weaving at Harvard?

I'm stunned.

Our the barely literate idiot who couldn't get into any school going somewhere for thousands a year getting a worthless degree because they not only went to a shite college but barely graduated?

Omg, I paid forty grand a year after graduating college with 0.9 GPA and I still can't read or do simple math.

Look, they voluntarily entered into these contracts.

Should the government allow loans to be taken out on these schools? In my opinion no. But you will come back and say oh I'm racist because these are the only schools these students can get into.

Well you can't have it both ways.

If you want to reform the college loan industry I'm all for it. But these kids took out loans during their college days for living expenses.

And some of them really lived.

So not just no, but frick no.

K. Explain how we get runaway inflation from the government cancelling government loans. Y’all just like to drive by and say “ur dumb” and you never post anything of substance.

What we get are even higher deficits and taxpayers forced to pick up the tab of the interest cost.

Why should working class taxpayers in the future be forced to pay for student loan forgiveness of doctors,lawyers, etc?

Wrong. They’re government loans.

i believe this is wrong. they're government-backed loans, not from the actual government

assuming you're correct about the source of the loans, this "gotcha" attempt is irrelevant. this will just create inflation, which is a tax, and people have to pay that tax

Is the Department of Education part of the government? Help me out, I’m really stupid.

The government cancelling an IOU to itself doesn’t put any money in circulation. They’re telling people who owe money on federal student loans, “You no longer owe us this money.” Doesn’t involve printing more money or putting it into circulation.

Paying off debt is deflationary.

Most won't argue with people that say the sky is green on a sunny day. You're out of your league.
