handout include college loans taken out
by moms and dads?

After President Biden announced his student loan handout plan on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, many parents immediately wondered about the status of the college loans they took out in their own names on behalf of their children. Many moms and dads took out Parent PLUS loans, the federal loans available to parents of undergraduate students to handle college expenses not covered by financial aid. Currently, at least 3.4 million Parent PLUS borrowers owe at least $87 billion, according to the Brookings Institute.

Comments:

Congrats to everyone who didn’t have college debt. Now you do. You're paying for those too lazy to. IT'S NOT DEBT FORGIVENESS, IT'S DEBT TRANSFERRED. It's your loan, you took it out you made the decision to take the loan. You pay it, not those who work hard to pay their own bills.

I am a real sucker. Paid for two kids to go through college and then allowed my daughter to take her wedding allowance and elope....using it to pay off her new husband's college debt.

I borrowed $300,000 to put six kids (successfully) through college. I want my money back. Forget the interest - I'll be happy with just the $300K.

First the Biden folks need to figure out if most of those parents vote for the blue team. If so then they get "free" money, too.

I thought that college graduates were a minority of the population and that the graduates who still owe loan debt are an even smaller minority. These people are not the poor who need charity. These are people who have low unemployment and high earning potential, or they are extremely stupid non-stem graduates with worthless degrees. In either case they are not owed anything by the majority of the population. Now, that means the Democrat regime is happy to displease a majority of the population in order to reward the children of a small minority of their supporters. That sounds like a great idea, doesn't it?

Lol - 3 of our 4 kids have already paid their loans off. WE are still in debt for the 80% we took on. Not blaming anybody else for for our financial decisions; we would never expect anybody to pay our debt — My comment is that it seems to me that this was Obama’s plan all along, to put the govt in the position to forgive these student loans so then it will lead to just paying for college tuition for everyone in the first place. Socialism 101. We’re just the last of the free and independent and responsible generation of Americans.

Soo...each student gets $10k, their parents get $10k...each perhaps? Potentially $30k? I guess that would only apply to parents that were/are married when they signed for the Parents Plus loans though,,,which would be....RACIST, Anti LGBT!

I did not get any loans. My parents did not get any loans. They were too poor and had no collateral. Poor people do not get loans unless they are in a preferred class and get preferential treatment. I got a few grants, but mostly I WORKED. I did five years of college over an eight year period. I lived at home with my parents. That's what families do. I graduated owing a total of $400. No loans. I was better for it. As for the 300 billion (or 600 billion, depending on whom you ask), add it to the debt pile. Our government has no money. It will never be paid off. Just like the other 30 trillion on the federal debt pile. Just like the 90 trillion on the US debt pile. It's like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It does not matter. It will not end well regardless. The time to fix the debt has passed. We are now dealing with the consequences. We already see it with inflation. It will get worse. Our country is run by tyrants, crooks, and incompetents. Our government is no longer looking out for the country and only looking out for itself, and the people controlling it. We have lost control of our government. They are adding to our problems, not fixing them.

I came to this country as a penniless immigrant (legally). Graduate school was cheap by today's standards but not by that time's. One of the first things I did was an accelerated payoff of my student debt. it was perhaps and old world aversion to be indebted. My wife and two sons (now grown up and well placed) did exactly that. I know what is going on around me. But I don't think in the final analysis we were suckers.

More importantly, does it include Next Year's grads? How about the grads 4 years from now? Hey they have crazy loans too. How do you not give them the dough? Is it not "unequal treatment" under the law to pay only Some people's debts? I know, I know, it is already unequal treatment. But I am referring to the "deserving class" that is left out!

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks said the Biden White House pointing to Republican members of Congress who got Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans forgiven to respond to criticism of its student loan program is wrong because the PPP loans were designed to preserve jobs and were designed to be forgiven, while student loans “are things people signed promising to pay them back.” He also stated that the response lacked class, and “if you’re going to be unclassy, be smart about it. Don’t be dumb about it if you’re not classy.”

Epstein was discovered dead of an apparent suicide in his cell at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center in 2019, according to The New York Times, but some have speculated that he did not kill himself or may have been murdered. In an interview released Thursday, Weiss asked Barr, “Is it possible that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t die by suicide?” “No,” he responded.

A day after President Joe Biden's student debt relief plan was widely panned by Republicans, the White House Twitter account fired back, tweeting about GOP lawmakers who had Paycheck Protection Plan loans "forgiven." The account pointed out that Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, for example, had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven. This after Greene appeared on television saying, "for our government just to say OK, your debt is completely forgiven ... it's completely unfair." They fail to realize that it's normal to take a loan but the loan has to be returned! The White House also took shots at Rep. Vern Buchanan, who had more than $2.3 million in PPP loans forgiven

The economy shrank by 0.6% in the second quarter compared to the same period last year — the second consecutive quarter that the nation’s gross domestic product contracted, thus signaling the onset of a recession, according to the latest data. The US Commerce Department issued a revised reading of second-quarter figures on Thursday — nearly a month after its initial report measured a 0.9% contraction compared to the year prior, Fox Business reported. In the first quarter of this year, GDP fell by 1.6% — the worst-performing quarter since the spring of 2020. At the time, much of the country was in lockdown due to the spread of the coronavirus.

FERC released the final version of the environmental impact statement evaluating the dam demolition plan. FERC commissioners will vote on whether or not to implement the plan later this year. The dam’s operators filed an application to surrender the Lower Klamath Hydroelectric Project on Nov. 17, 2020. The project rests on 400 acres of federal land in Oregon and California, and consists of the Copco 1, Copco 2, Iron Gate, and J.C.

In the transition from gas-powered vehicles to electric, the fuel every automaker is after these days is cold hard cash. Established automakers and startups alike are rolling out new battery-powered models in an effort to meet growing demand. Ramping up production of a new model was already a fraught and expensive process, but rising material costs and tricky regulations for federal incentives are squeezing coffers even further. Prices of the raw materials used in many electric-vehicle batteries — lithium, nickel and cobalt — have soared over the last two years as demand has skyrocketed, and it may be several years before miners

It's only a day since we reported on California’s intention to outlaw sales of new combustion-engined vehicles from 2035, and already the ripples are being felt across the nation. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) that governs motor vehicle emissions for the state adopted new rules that will require 35% of the new cars sold in the state are electric or plug-in hybrids by 2026, with that percentage rising to 68% by 2030 and 100% by 2035. California has a waiver from the federal government to set its own air quality rules, and other states are allowed to opt into its regulations, which are typically more stringent than the national standards.
