Gentle reminder that this is against the guidelines, it comes across somewhat as sneering and dismissive (which i don’t think was the intent, but is there none the less).

I have read the guide, although i appreciate reaffirming it as the source of truth. What’s hard is from a glance at the posters history their comments don’t seem to break the guidelines, but instead fall into the camp of spirited (albeit st

Dang, We get you’re frustrated but he’s just stating his opinion. It’s not out of line relative to the other discourse in this thread.

I understand that this sort of thing can be taken as "inflammatory", but if you're one of these groups, your _existence is political and flamebaity_; You can't escape it. That's why people are bringing it up, becaus

You haven’t engaged me with research or data once, you just keep concern trolling. Please try to at least use something quantitative to backup your arguments

Yes, this has been a national issue with bills and campaigns for almost as long as I can remember. What do you mean?

And I believe the opposite. So where is your proof? You seem to be doing a lot of pearl clutching

Because that’s just forces colleges to accept rich white kids who will be the less risky in regards to paying off their loans. Guys, y’all are supposed to be smart, really? You all can’t see through this bullshit?

To address these other concerns, checkout out podcasts like pitchfork economics or freakanonics. There’s no reason to think interest would go up. That’s just concern trolling from republicans

Did you look at how the house and senate voted on these matters?

what would it take, quantitatively, to alleviate any concerns with this policy of forgiveness?

by oddtuple 3y ago
Did you read the paper? It’s very much not an argument for Peter robbing Paul. Unless you’re saying investing in people’s education is robbery?

by oddtuple 3y ago
Pardon, this was deeper linked, but your previous comments describe the overall forgiveness as a bandaid, or generally not helpful. That is not supported by the research.

We want the same things, but please try to at least engage with me on the data and research. I don’t want the powers that be to crush us any more than you do. I care about people, and from what you’ve written I know you do too, so let’s tac

Reposting so others don’t feed into this propaganda. The talking point that loan forgiveness would “raise taxes” is at best dubious. Here is one, of many studies that dispute it https://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/rpr_2_

How were they supposed to pass the law with the filibuster?

by oddtuple 3y ago
It failed due to the GOP, which didn’t exactly vote favorably on any measures related to this when they did have a chance.

Here’s some research that supports it https://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/rpr_2_6.pdf

I don’t know what more to say, so please read this and get back to me. Research shows this would actually be a good thing https://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/rpr_2_6.pdf

by oddtuple 3y ago
The research on this is clear, what you’re describing is totally unrelated https://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/rpr_2_6.pdf Also, and I mean this sincerely… are you okay? You sound angry, resentful even. Please go talk t

This is a common attitude, and an understandable one, but it’s very much at odds with the research. There are more studies and discussions, but this is one of them highlighting how this is a nothing burger https://www.levyinstitu
