Joe Biden is considering reneging on a campaign promise to cancel limited amounts of student debt, and is now mulling far more substantial coverage of the $1.6trillion in debt owed by 43,000 people. Biden alluded to his plan during a meeting on Monday with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, where he told Rep. Tony Cardenas, a California Democrat, that he had plans that would please the group.The president previously supported canceling up to $10,000 of debt per student, but is now said to be open to forgiving a larger - if unspecified amount.It also remains unclear exactly how many students could be affected,

Generation Snowflake crying and refusing to be grown-ups and honor their obligations. But here is a thought: If debt is to be “forgiven,” it should be by the shockingly greedy universities who jacked up the costs in the first place.

The military used to pay off student loans when someone enlisted. And that goes back to 1982. Do they still do that? If so, how m,any recruits will they lose if Dementia Jo's handlers pay off those loans first? How about non-profits? Public Health Service? School districts? I worry that all of the consequences won't be considered when such a change is made. And how about university tuition? Overpriced schools can reassure recruits that yes, our tuition and housing costs are outrageously high, but we expect a president in the near future will pay off your student loans. Did you see our new private apartment dorms? Expensive? Sure, but...

If this happens, every employer should ask their prospective employee if they had student loans and how they handled the debt. If it was forgiven (by we sucker taxpayers), the prospective employee should be tossed out.

And bidu’s cut would be …? I guess that means the lenders get the money paid back 100% … now? Just the ones in default with lots of fees and interest unpaid? Schmoe always loved the credit card companies. Funny, interest rates are rising so i guess the spread between borrowing costs and the student loan rate isn’t as profitable. So schmoe has been ordered to have the government pay the lenders back immediately. Schmoe always follows the instructions included in the bag of money. Boohoo for the students. Everybody’s happy and the taxpayers are sound asleep.

Just in case we haven't noticed, our government is forcibly transitioning the country to socialism by spreading the wealth. The 40% increase in the money supply, tax the rich, take money away from lenders and give "free" money to borrowers, its everything Obama promised. So far they are using a pretense of legality. This is an overthrow of the constitutional republic.

#16 if calculated using older methods, inflation is currently over 16%. Decades ago the creative government began to use "lower level substitution" methods - in essence, if the price of something went up but consumers can purchase cheaper substitutes (generic) that is not considered inflationary. It also began to include non-nescessity, former luxury, items in the mix as more people could afford to purchase them. Also the "Core Inflation Rate" so often reported does not adequately include food and energy costs - the government just cannot control and take any resposibility for the weather so we'll ignore other associated costs the government does control.

My grandfather paid for my college education back in the early 70s. He died in 1976, a year after I graduated. If todays blacks are due reparations for being descendants of slaves, aren’t I due a government check for what my grandfather spent on me? He was, after all, a taxpayer. Which is a form of slavery - having the fruits of one’s labor taken away by force.

Maybe somebody told him that Hispanics are turning republican all of a sudden. What about the black people, Joe, you haven't fulfilled your promises to them yet?

I hope the "Joe six-packs" (hard working people that didn't go to college) of this country resent Biden and the Democrats putting the burden of paying the student loans of college students that can not or do not want to pay them. They pay their bills. They do not need the added burden of paying the bills of deadbeat college students.

I’m pretty sure these loans are from private lenders but guaranteed by the US. So that means the US is paying the private lenders. Probably the loans are in default with huge default interest (and Covid deferred interest) and default penalties. So perhaps a $100,000 loan has $60,000 of interest and penalties accumulated. Schmoe has always taken care of lenders. Think of all the big credit card companies who located to Delaware so they can charge 24% interest. So characterize the payoff as helping poor students. Of course government guaranteed loans is what the lenders agreed to.

If they do cancel student loans, the first priority should be healthcare workers like Registered Nurses and all the people who work in that class delivering healthcare. Physicians and above usually earn enough money to payoff their student loans without suffering any financial distress.

I know nothing about finances, but if you borrow from a bank - if you default, does the bank get their money back by increasing the rate on credit cards? We are not teaching these kids anything by letting them default. Don't they have Pell Grants anymore? It would never occur to me not to repay a loan, and I finally completed my bachelor's when I was 54 years old.

President Joe Biden is banning traditional incandescent lightbulbs in a push to be more energy efficient, but critics claim the switch to LED alternatives will prove costly for poorer Americans. The Department of Energy (DOE) adopted two new rules Tuesday that strengthen energy efficiency standards for lightbulbs and will effectively phase out the sale of traditional bulbs by next year. However, consumer analysts allege that not only are LED bulbs more expensive, costing nearly $4 each as opposed to $1 for an incandescent bulb, but are often not stocked in stores in lower-income communities. Around 30 percent of the two billion bulbs sold in the US every year are incandescent.

Joe Biden is in trouble. His Democrats are collapsing at the polls based on his disastrous first term and now midterms are around the corner. What's a failed president to do? Dole out the goodies, of course, some big ones in a desperate bid to win back younger leftist voters. According to CBS News: President Biden is looking at different options to forgive an unspecified but substantial amount of federal student loan debt — a move that would thrill some of his most loyal supporters and financially strapped students nationwide, but is a departure from campaign pledges to provide limited relief. The president shared his plans during a 90-minute White House meeting Monday

In a sign that even liberals are no longer buying what she’s selling, MSNBC bomb-thrower Joy Reid’s ratings are cratering, falling to their lowest level since her show debuted in 2020, yet another very bad omen for Democrats who are set to reap the whirlwind for the seeds of racial discord that they have spent years sowing.Despite April being a heavy news month, especially with the contentious Senate confirmation hearings of newly minted Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, a veritable bonanza for race-obsessed MSNBC pundits, “The ReidOut” struggled to attract viewers, putting up an average of a measly 1.1 million viewers in an indication that “the race lady”

According to a report in the Daily Star, a UK tabloid, some scientists are now predicting that the world will run out of food in 27 years. 27 years and 251 days, to be more precise…as of Sunday, April 24th, 2022. (Start your doomsday countdown at home!) So, that’s it, the science is settled, apparently. We are done by 2050. But, what if, say, 26 years from now half of us go on strict diets and limit our caloric intake…or 60% of us are by then vegan…or 10% of the projected population has been killed off by Lyme Disease/Islamic radicals/leftist economic policies?
