President Joe Biden is on the verge of announcing $10,000 in federal student loan forgiveness per borrower for millions of Americans, according to The Washington Post. "The White House's latest plans called for limiting debt forgiveness to Americans who earned less than $150,000 in the previous year, or less than $300,000 for married couples filing jointly," write Post reporters Tyler Pager, Danielle Douglas-Gabriel, and Jeff Stein. Their sources did not say "whether the administration will simultaneously require interest and payments to resume at the end of August, when the current pause is scheduled to lapse."

Comments:

My as well add to the inflation problem (giving thousands of former students more money to spend). Wonder where blue collar workers and other non-student people go for their handout? Handouts of any kind have to stop. People need to get back to work.

I want paid back for paying my 3 children's way through elite colleges. I really don't feel like paying for more students colleges. Be responsible for your own debts. It's not up to hard working Americans to pay your debt off. Shame on you.

You have to admit, the democrats are very creative in finding ways to buy votes with everyone's tax dollars. Now that they know we are on to the ballot box stuffing, they have to find other methods of remaining in power.

This would anger me greatly. I, like may, took advantage of the last 2 years 0 interest rate on the student loans of my kids and accelerated all of my payments and have paid all of these loans off over the last 2 years. Far in excess of the 10K here. I did it because I am cleaning up finances for retirement, and because I borrowed that money and agreed to pay it back. So to have this idiot punish me, and millions like me, for being fiscally responsible is a real slap in the face. Not only must I have sacrificed to get these loans off my back in a very challenging economy, now, as I am finally free of them, I am being asked to pay off someone elses loans as well in what is clearly an election year boondoggle..

I began college at age 33. I took out TWO federal loans. I rpaid the money and still have the 40-year-old documents showing that I paid it back. During my career I learned that people who do not pay for that they get are not very good at work, promises, marriage -- and more. A lady counselor one time mentioned to me that "Free therapy dos not work."

Two thirds of the us adults did not attend college. Why should these people pay for it? Student loans just result in profligate admin expenses in college. If student loan programs were abolished tuition would go done, colleges will trim their budgets, professors will teach classes or the college will go away.

When Biden forgives student loans is when I no longer file federal tax returns. No 1040, No W2. Not one red cent more. The Biden's don't pay the federal taxes they owe; why should I?

It is so pointless to do a one-time forgiveness. What about students who are still in school? The whole student loan program needs to be reformed. Lower limits on borrowing, no parent loans without proof of ability to repay within 10 years, outsource the lending to banks as before, make colleges responsible for collection of at least some of the money they receive.

This is not Student Debt Forgiveness. It is Student Debt Transfer. The debt is being transferred from those who incurred it, signed legal contracts to pay it back, and reaped the benefits of the loans to those who did not.

They are trying to time it so it is remembered at election time, but will certainly look like a quid pro quo. However, once many of them don't have the debt any longer, will they care it was a Democrat president who helped them remove that burden? Also, believe the IRS will view it as income since it's a forgiven loan. Not sure how many will be able to pay the taxes on that income (not fun when you see $30,000 added to your income amount with no taxes taken out to accommodate). I still say, do this for teachers who are teaching in the disadvantaged neighborhoods and school districts to help them stay, but under the condition they will work for 3-5 years after the forgiveness, depending on the amount.

Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan claimed that more House Republicans would have impeached former President Donald Trump following the January 6 Capitol riot if they had the “guts” to do so. Paul Ryan made his pronouncement while campaigning for Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC), one of the 10 House Republicans that voted to impeach Trump following the riot. “There were a lot of people who wanted to vote like Tom but who just didn’t have the guts to do it,” Ryan said. “There are a lot of people who say they’re going to vote their conscious, they’re going to vote for the Constitution, they’re going to vote for their

Joe Biden on Friday bragged about the performance of the economy during his presidency, saying Americans felt more 'financially comfortable' and vowing to lower prices of gas and food. Biden's remarks came after a new report showed the job market slowed in May with 390,000 jobs added although the unemployment rate was unchanged and remained at 3.6%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.Economists praised the figure as healthy and Biden said it showed 'stable, steady growth.''America is in a stronger economic position today than just about any other country in the world,' he said in remarks in Rehoboth Beach, Del., where he is spending the weekend.

New York's legislature voted on its last day of session Thursday to ban anyone under the age of 21 from buying or even possessing a semi-automatic rifle.The bill also requires anyone buying a semi-automatic rifle to get a license - which is currently only required in New York State for handguns.But it is just one part of a larger package of gun control measures announced earlier this week by Democratic legislative leaders and Gov. Kathy Hochul to bolster New York's already strict gun laws in the wake of a mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo.

Russia is being hit hard by Ukraine‘s Javelin anti-tank missiles. What makes this weapon so powerful? The U.S.-made FGM-148 Javelin is one of the premier portable anti-tank missile systems in the world. It’s also an expensive piece of kit, with each missile typically costing more than the targets it eliminates. However, corruption is the main problem that every country has to fight with and the Ukrainians are no different! The expensive javelins have allegedly found their way into the black market on the Internet. Telegram channels have repeatedly reported that military equipment is being sold by the Ukrainians. The sales market is often the Middle East or North Africa.

This time we must actually do something.”The president spoke about his proposals during a prime-time address from the White House, surrounded by candles representing the victims of mass shootings.“For so many of you at home, I want to be very clear, this is not about taking away anyone’s guns,” Biden said before announcing he wanted to ban all “assault weapons” including AK-47s and AR-15s as well as magazines holding 30 rounds.

Dr. Anthony Fauci took a barely veiled swipe at former President Donald Trump and Republicans during a college commencement speech Friday—just two days after claiming he wouldn’t “get involved in any politics” related to the 2024 election. Speaking to more than 3,700 graduates of the City College of New York in Harlem, Fauci said, “It is blatantly obvious that we are experiencing a deepening divisiveness in our nation, fed by a flagrant devaluation of the truth.” “While genuine differences of opinion or ideology are part of a healthy society, increasingly we are hearing, reading and seeing outlandish statements and pronouncements propped up by deliberate distortions of reality,”

Who is Seth Rich, and why was he murdered? Many media outlets ignored this unsolved murder in D.C. in July 2016. Those who wrote about this suspicious death were dismissed as conspiracy theorists. Jack Cashill wrote the best summary of Rich’s murder: Unknown assailants gun down the young DNC data analyst at 4 A.M. on a Washington, D.C., street and take nothing. Two weeks later, international man of mystery Julian Assange strongly suggests on Dutch T.V. that Rich was his source for the purloined DNC emails then roiling the Democratic Party.

A federal grand jury has indicted Peter Navarro, a former Trump White House adviser, on criminal contempt of Congress charges over his refusal to cooperate in the House investigation of the January 6th attack. The indictment comes after the House voted in April to refer Navarro to the Justice Department for failing to comply with a February subpoena from the House Select Committee on the January 6 Capitol riot. Navarro was charged with one contempt count for his refusal to appear for a deposition, and another for his refusal to produce documents requested by the committee, despite the subpoena from the January 6 committee.
