The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

I know, I know. I'm trying to fall in line...

Why are we ok with bailing out businesses but bailing out the everyday person is frowned upon? Let’s stop with the mental gymnastics of trying to differentiate between PPP loans and student loans and why one is on and one isn’t. Everyone can benefit by catching a break now and then. If someone got $200k in free government money to keep their business afloat but is mad at someone getting $20k in student loan relief, that’s just the epitome of selfishness and being an overall shitty person. I know people that benefited from the PPP, and I know plenty that will benefit from the student loan forgiveness, including myself.


Good for you Matty! That’s awesome. I agree - it’s nice to see someone who deserves help getting it.

When I say someone who deserves it I mean someone like yourself, a productive member of society who isn’t uber rich - dont wanna see someone who wont help themselves get help - dont wanna see someone who doesn’t need the help get help. Im happy for you.

The big picture that needs to be addressed - like Chief alluded to - is getting a cap put on how much these universities can fucking charge.

I'm not opposed to people getting help. Most of us need it from time to time. I would just like to see "them" address the underlying issues that got us here in the first place. I don't see that happening. What I see is more handouts right before an election.

Anyway, can I get a retro payment of $10k since I paid mine off already? Or am I ineligible because I made the necessary sacrifices to ensure I paid my bills on time, paying them off, and honoring my end of the contract?

I definitely agree this doesn’t get to the underlying issues, but even if it’s a band aid it will help somebody.

As for your situation I say that’s great you were able to pay them off and don’t need any help. I say that with all sincerity. I’ve been paying on mine since 2006 and have barely put a dent in the principal because I’m on an income sensitive plan. It’s depressing as hell to see what little I’ve paid off. I’m lucky since it’s my only real debt. Plenty of people are way more buried than I am.

The entire education system is in crisis. We need to completely revamp it

Lol. Will never happen. Just like every other government program/decision/etc., a bunch of fat cats will all get their cut too. Nothing will change. Then we will need a new bailout in x number of years.

Government creates the problems then does nothing to actually fix them, while spending billions of dollars, and we are told it must be done.

Rinse and repeat. Our federal government is a laughable joke. I agree with Sunny, that we are fucked. But likely for different reasons.

Stop the BS. Your trump speak is BS. You know nothing about the educational system. chico you bitch about goverment and hand outs and big goverment yet now you call to scrap the entire educational system ........something you know nothing of and want the "GOVERMENT" to create something new, WTF?


The biggest problem with education is parents . Let the Teachers and BoEds do their jobs, every child is special...................yours is not the only one.!


Federal Government needs to stay out of it .

G1 lives in a world where everything started in 2016.

Just because you're obsessed with Trump doesn't mean everyone else needs to be.

The problems with college prices started WAY before Trump was ever president.

1 trick pony.

I live in the real world , you should try it, you might realize what it takes to be a grown up.

I have been pointing that out , funny you didn't think so when trump was in ?

I live in the real world , you should try it, you might realize what it takes to be a grown up.

So the costs of going to college was completely reasonable until 2016?

No one else on either side is arguing that.

You're a clown.

And I lived in the real world, my parents and myself paid 100% of my college education all the way thru grad school.
