How would it cost the taxpayer more? Can you explain? The money has already been spent, and it’s already being collected in the form of taxes on those individuals whom are now earning more thanks to education. Why would we need more taxes?

What would it take to convince you otherwise? I mean this honestly, because I hear the above statement a lot and it’s very foreign to me. If anything it’s a long shot, sure, but the forgiveness is a great forcing function. We can tackle thi

I’m having trouble seeing how student loan forgiveness and this are equivalent. Can you elaborate?

I’m done. You’re not engaging with what I was saying, and instead are talking down to me and others like we only care about ourselves. Please, please try to listen to the points people are making. Your entire first paragraph is literally ga

You’re the one approaching this like it’s some incredibly complex issue, it’s really not. But okay, let’s play your game. Describe the real material harm caused by this forgiveness. Is it inflation? There’s a lot of research saying that’s b

I’m flabbergasted at the reasoning here, I see it the exact opposite. Give people breathing room and then they’ll be able to do the democracy stuff.

Seems like a good analogy to me

Sure, but I know that YOU know that people talk about these items together. The general tone of this convo has been that nothing helpful has come from these actions, and that’s not true. It’s been stated it was all politics, and we know tha

Because there is no new money being created, no one is being paid more, that amount is already being charged because the students already have that money as they aren’t paying loans. Also, if they were paying loans, there would still be the

I honestly don’t know what to say to this. If the meat of your argument is “they’ll never do the right thing, they’ll just keep stalling “, it kinda feels like you just don’t have faith in our government at all. In which case there’s nothin

I dont even know where to start with this. How many times do we all have to have this same conversation. “Student loans being forgiven does not increase inflation, as no new money is being injected into the economy”. It’s either spent befor

I thought we were talking about student loans?

That’s patently untrue. We saved tens of thousands of dollars in the interest pause alone.

You realize we can do both right? Forgive the loans AND tackle the rising cost of tuition by nationalizing? I swear it’s this same myopic response everyone, no one can ever imagine there’s a step two.

This is something I wonder about often as well. Why are all these coastal cities constantly being pumped full of money in the form of new building and real estate ventures when the forecasts show how risky of a long term investment it is? S
