I hate any financial assistance that doesn't address the root cause, because all it is at that point is more tax and wealth transfer to the rich.

Aaaaaand I know everyone hates when someone points out their hypocrisy so I'm sure I'll get crucified for this...

This applies to student loan forgiveness too.

Absolutely. I'm for student loan forgiveness, but right now it's just giving money to banks and then burdening the next generation with the cost.

Tell me you don't understand what the student loan forgiveness was supposed to do...

Student loan forgiveness was not supposed to reduce the cost of schooling you.moron it was to stimulate the economy and.woukd have done exactly that.

God you people are dense.

Bullshit. You're the first person I've ever seen mention that as a primary purpose.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I've seen it explained that way in multiple places. It's what I understood it to be.

That's the feature of these issues, there is no incentive for people "fixing" them to end the grift.
