Biden Announces Another Multibillion Dollar Giveaway of Republican Taxpayer Money to Democrat Layabouts
Update: Trump Tied with Biden in NH; No One Shows Up to Hear Biden "Speak" in NH
Biden announces additional $7.7B in student loan handouts: "Billions more in election year giveaways"Biden's going to be announcing a lot of Jackpot Giveaways. And reminding voters of his previous government spending. He visited New Hampshire to make the less-controversial announcement about signing an actual Congress-passed law in 2022 increasing benefits for veterans. And why was he doing a campaign event in New Hampshire at all? Because Trump has tied him there, albeit with both getting much less than a majority of support.
The Biden administration has announced a new $7.7 billion student debt relief initiative for 160,000 borrowers, a move that has been criticized by Republicans as "unconstitutional" and an "election year giveaway." The $7.7 billion relief package will benefit three categories of borrowers: those receiving Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), those enrolled in President Biden's Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan, and those receiving forgiveness on income-driven repayment (IDR) due to administrative adjustments. As of this announcement, the Biden administration has cleared more than $167 billion in student loan debt for 4.75 million Americans in what Trump campaign Senior Advisor Jason Miller described as "Billions more in election year giveaways." Republicans have criticized the move as unconstitutional and unfair to the American people, with some citing a 2022 Supreme Court ruling that the Biden administration overstepped its authority when it announced it would cancel up to $400 billion in student loans.
SHOCK POLL: Trump Tied With Biden in Blue New HampshireThe poll puts Trump ever-so-slightly ahead at 36.6%, with Biden at 36.5%, and RFKJr. at 14.6%. Update: A commenter reminded me that barely anyone showed up to hear " " " the president " " " speak in blue New Hampshire.

Democrats have all but owned the Granite State's four Electoral College votes, winning seven of the past eight presidential contests -- including Joe Biden's eight-point victory over President Donald Trump in 2020. But the latest NHJournal/Praecones Analytica poll finds Biden tied with Trump in New Hampshire, putting him at risk of becoming the first Democrat to lose the state since Al Gore in 2000.
[T]he reaction to the speech that he was able to generate, or perhaps not generate, was also something. You would normally think that someone who's allegedly the leader of the free world would be able to draw a lot of people. Instead, you'd have more tables, people, and excitement at the senior center on bingo night, some observed. It looked like he couldn't even fill a room, which is a very sad showing. It looked like they had a few select attendees for the speech and that was it.

As the NH Journal observed, there were more Trump folks who had been lined up along the road outside against Biden than people inside. But comparing it to bingo wasn't exactly fair, the NH Journal noted, because bingo is fun.It's like a Who's Who of Who Farted? I don't even know what that means!

People like to frame this as giving away "taxpayer money."
However, considering the government has already spent all of its collected taxpayer money by this point, almost all of this has to be borrowed money from the future.
Wimpy "I will gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today" ain't got nothin' on FJB's completely reckless borrowing and spending spree.

Good strategy, actually. Party men have the problem go away entirely and the outsiders get the message that they'd best stay on the reservation if they want more goodies.

Hi Ace
Just reading abut that NH poll. Most interesting part is Kennedy's number. New England retains a fondness for the Kennedy name no matter how much negative stuff is said. If he gets on the ballot in 50 states, it could significantly affect Ds ability to steal the election as it will only affect seriously blue states.

This is all Biden knows how to do - it is the only 'tool' in his political toolbox: write a big check!
Which makes sense when you think about the Biden family business of recieving big checks from those who want him to do their bidding. His world involves getting money from one entity and then writing a big check from Uncle Same to another entity.
Frightening.

Does anyone really think RFK is getting 15% of the vote? If he ends up with more than 1% in any competitive state I’ll be shocked.
In deep red or deepBlue states I can see him getting 5% because a lot of people will figure who cares, Biden/trump is winning my state by 15 so I’ll do a protest vote.
But in closely contested races everyone will come home to Team Blue by October.

It's funny how Biden keeps doing things that SCOTUS has told him are unconstitutional. I guess he's a modern-day Andrew Jackson, waiting for SCOTUS' army to put him in check; Congress certainly won't, even though they have ultimate power of the purse-strings. It's all just Bukake theater.

The New England states are a lost cause. I grew up in CT and lived in MA after college until 3 years ago. Every election, no matter how enthusiastic the conservative side, Rs can never get more than 45% of the vote. It is like that entire part of the country is ruled by women who have never experienced an orgasm and are therefore completely dissatisfied with life. They keep hoping that if they can just find that perfect Democrat, they will be fulfilled.
Unfortunately, they are looking in all the wrong places.

I like how they say "prime working age women" and not the obvious other prime age job. Spoiler alert: That's not good.

Just reading abut that NH poll. Most interesting part is Kennedy's number. New England retains a fondness for the Kennedy name no matter how much negative stuff is said. If he gets on the ballot in 50 states, it could significantly affect Ds ability to steal the election as it will only affect seriously blue states.

Somewhat disagree with you on this. There are many Republican voters who have Trump fatigue. They don't like him or his tone , style, etc. They are looking favorably at RFK even though he is not aligned with them politically. I think many of these people are casual observers to the political realm. They don't follow things enough to know that RFK wants to imprison so-called "climate deniers", and they don't know how truly anti-2A he is. In short -- they are the Low Information Voters on "our side".

He can't afford it. This is preposterous. I did some rough back-of-the-envelope arithmetic to check when this came up on the last thread.
But it will cost around $11 billion per month to do it, or require an increase in output by around a third. Something in that neighborhood.
The SPR has about 18 days' supply in it if it is drained indiscriminately. Since we only need to increase production by a third, that can be tripled. Less than two months of prices that low, and the SPR is *gone* - and that assumes immediate effect.

As has been said. if we had fair and honest elections, Trump would win a Nixon/Reagan landslide, but we do not have fair and honest elections.
I do think Trump has a path to 270 EC votes and 270 EC votes exactly.
It will take divine providence for him to win.

I wouldn't make too much of the NH poll. The New Hamsterites like to think of themselves as brilliant, independent political thinkers (They actually believe they deserve that "First in the nation" status) so many of them are probably saying they're for RFK because it sounds like outside the box thinking. But ultimately they're dull doctinaire lefties, like their inbred cousins in Vermont. Biden will take NH by 7 or so.

They've been brainwashed to hate men, hate America and Western civilization in general, hate themselves, and to reject all healthy expressions of heterosexuality. Even the ones who don't surgically mutilate/sterilize their bodies will be childless, either via abortion and/or preference for deviant sexual activities.

If we believe a news report there is something like 7 million single women in their late 20s to early 30s looking for a husband in China.
That parents are going into the market squares will full info on their daughters looking for a guy to marry her.

I just saw this from the University of Nebraska Medical Center:
"Approximately 19% of all pregnancies and 11% of all first pregnancies are currently in those over age 35 in the United States. In 2020, the average age for first births was 27.1 years compared with 21.4 years in 1970. "

You know, lots of these recent "why are there so many autistic children everywhere all of the sudden" questions might have a very obvious answer.
I doubt it can be discussed, though.

Just reading abut that NH poll. Most interesting part is Kennedy's number. New England retains a fondness for the Kennedy name no matter how much negative stuff is said.
Will they actually vote for him in November?
Posted by: Aquamarine
My point is that it doesn't matter. They are either D voters or never Trump voters. They are not going to vote for Trump. That is why it doesn't matter.
And I disagree with Doof. Those "R" voters who dislike Trumps demeanor didn;t vote for him last time and won't vote for him this time.
It is going to be harder to queer the vote in the bluest blue areas that handed the vote to Biden if they also have to figure out an algorithm to take into account even a small percentage of the vote for Kennedy. That vote will be somewhat unpredictable.

I'll likely be Mr. Obvious here, but the media has been purposely manufacturing "Trump Fatigue" for 7 years. The notion it will just stop after Trump is gone is nothing more than wishful thinking. If anything the media will keep going on a new target just to ensure they can after having so much trouble with Trump.

What is the meaning of leftover women?
Sheng nü (Chinese), translated as 'leftover women' or 'leftover ladies', are women who remain unmarried in their late twenties and beyond in China. The term was popularized by the All-China Women's Federation.
Except that this doesn't distinguish between voluntarily unmarried women and those who can't find a man. From what I've read, men are desperate, putting themselves into deep financial hock and living like monks in order to accumulate the capital for an apartment, which is the price of admission. There are many women in both China and Japan who are single and childless by choice.

Somewhere around a quarter of the population, including some upper income Republicans, are doing just dandy in this hyper inflationary period. If you have assets and no debts plus earning a healthy income, then inflation can skyrocket your stocks, multiply your home real estate values, and even make your old lightly used gas burner vehicles much more valuable on tradein.
I can see those Republicans who are the investor and credentialed class go for someone like RFK Jr. because essentially most of them are in the slow process of becoming Dems anyway. This is the donor class of the GOPe and has run most of the party machinery for decades aka life long GOP types. They are just fine in the brave new world and too bad for their fellow citizens who they view as shiftless, drug addicted, and lazy. Far better for this class to bring in illegals for menial services becuz they can lay off the costs to the taxpayer and pay the minimum to the illegals.

It is the childhood vaccine schedule that has been inflicted on infants and small children.
My oldest grandson has borderline autistic traits, and there is otherwise nothing wrong with him. He is nice, sweet kid. But he is 6 years old and still not a very cogent talker. Both my sons (including his father) were talking a lot by 2, 2-1/2. I could carry on a normal conversation with my oldest son by the time he was 3 or so.
It is especially the MMR combination vaccine. But there are something like 40 or more vaccines that kids get before they are 1 year old.

It's not for young men, it's for single middle-aged men.
The parents of these women stake out a spot and start trying to get older men to take their daughters. "She has X, Y and Z. Make offer." Then if a man bites - or even if he doesn't, some of the parents are aggressive and will approach a likely candidate and begin an interrogation - they begin a Q&A to determine if he's good enough and then make the hard sell.

Except that this doesn't distinguish between voluntarily unmarried women and those who can't find a man. From what I've read, men are desperate, putting themselves into deep financial hock and living like monks in order to accumulate the capital for an apartment, which is the price of admission. There are many women in both China and Japan who are single and childless by choice.

In bad times, people live for the short term. From recent reports from China, it appears the guys are emulating Japanese men in laying down now.
We have had experiences of relatively quick depopulation of civilizations in the past-- and then a surprisingly fast rebound when society resets as it will.

The proportion of Chinese men who remain unmarried for their entire lives is much higher than the proportion of women.

Many are by choice. Many also regret that choice and want to change it. Many also refused when they could have for whatever reason. That happens in the West, too, for different reasons.
But in China it was pretty acute. Women knew they had the edge and used it to wildly inflate expectations, turning away from men they might have accepted in different conditions. There's a fair amount of "oh shit" at the moment. It is overblown to some degree because it is *extremely* sensational, but it is a real phenomenon.

@EricAbbenante
James Comey on Morning Joe asserts Trump is a 'threat' to the rule of law that will target his political enemies:
"He is a threat to the rule of law in America. If he has the ability, smarter than he was last time, to use the power of the DOJ and the FBI to target his enemies."
Democrats: Joe Biden is not using the DOJ to target his top political enemy.
Also Democrats: If Trump wins he will use the DOJ to target his political enemies.

We've discussed the freezing eggs movement here before. At that time, some claimed that successful fertility with those eggs was low. Not true, especially if the eggs are frozen earlier in the woman's life, and the procedures continue to improve. The work I cited had a virtually 100% success rate. It seems like an eminently reasonable insurance policy to me.

There are many women in both China and Japan who are single and childless by choice.

China, Japan, and here in the U.S., too. It's always going to be the woman's choice, and they won't date down.
Like the Morgan Stanley link details, we're looking at 50% being nameless cogs in the labor force and childless in the next decade.
But they'll pay their bills by themselves and have some cats.

But they'll pay their bills by themselves and have some cats.

I mean, they could have easily extended COVID unemployment benefits indefinitely if they wanted to do something like this.
They did it in 2008.
They kind of missed their chance to buy the votes of people who are barely hanging on.
This is all too little too late.

224 I voted for Perot for basically the same reason I voted for Trump.
He was the Outsider. He wasn't one of Them.
problem with perot was that every time you were starting to think "ok, this guy is alright", he'd do something totally nuts. i'm quite annoyed that perot made me vote for h.w. out of fear that he would cause clinton to get utah's meager electoral votes.

>>Wish I could see it the same way. There's a bunch of Trump fatigue right here amongst the Horde. Not that anyone here is seriously considering RFK Jr. But they'd prefer someone else over DJT. Between him and Biden, of course Trump gets their vote. But outside of here -- who knows.
I think there's a big difference between Trump fatigue and people who have never liked Trump and would prefer a different candidate.
No candidate has ever had 100% party support but Trump currently enjoys over 90% party approval, higher than Biden. We just get to hear more about Trump detractors because the media trumpets (see what I did there?) while doing their best to bury any party disapproval of Biden.

>>Oh, absolutely. The same bunch that knows Global Warming is settled Science or how COVID came from someone eating a bat has determined that Girl Bosses having babies in their 40s is perfectly safe.
And easy! Once you decide it's time to have kids you can totally get pregnant ASAP, right? And if not, there's infertility treatments and surrogacy that's totally not expensive or difficult!! /s
One stealth effect of the pill and abortion has been this notion that one has absolute control over one's fertility.
A lot of women inexplicably think that babies are an infinite commodity, that they can just flush any unwanted one when it's inconvenient and later pick it up again any ol' time down the road. As with the Climate Cult having people believe they personally can control the weather, young women have been hoodwinked into believing they can summon babies at their convenience when they get around to wanting them.

We've discussed the freezing eggs movement here before. At that time, some claimed that successful fertility with those eggs was low. Not true, especially if the eggs are frozen earlier in the woman's life, and the procedures continue to improve. The work I cited had a virtually 100% success rate. It seems like an eminently reasonable insurance policy to me.
I have some steak in the freezer I'm gonna cook tonight. Wanna stop over for dinner and a beer? Maybe I should mention the steak's been in the freezer for a decade.

I keep asking the question: Why pretend that there is a budget? Why can't any agency, department, committee, office just cut checks to whoever they want without any regard whatsoever to any budgetary cap, allocation or statutory restraint?
That is, what bank won't honor a Government Check? What bank won't respect a wire transfer?
They could spend ten trillion this election year and there is no controlling authority to stop it.

@EricAbbenante
James Comey on Morning Joe asserts Trump is a 'threat' to the rule of law that will target his political enemies:
"He is a threat to the rule of law in America. If he has the ability, smarter than he was last time, to use the power of the DOJ and the FBI to target his enemies."
Democrats: Joe Biden is not using the DOJ to target his top political enemy.
Also Democrats: If Trump wins he will use the DOJ to target his political enemies.

Anyway, I still believe that, regardless of results, Trump won't be President.
And with that Happy Thot, it's off to experience BidenFlation at the grocery store. At least insomnia has one benefit. I can get things done in the daytime.

Society is probably not going to have the wealth going forward to sustain that sort of behavior for all but the wealthiest who can always go the surrogate route anyway.
Severe financial crises from debt and informal/formal repudiation of public debt last for decades until enough political impetus exists to break the social and political situation that caused it (such as Millei in Argentina). Wars can shorten that reset because when everything is devastated--society takes off the guardrails to keep from starving (see post WWII Germany for example).

It is the childhood vaccine schedule that has been inflicted on infants and small children.
My oldest grandson has borderline autistic traits, and there is otherwise nothing wrong with him. He is nice, sweet kid. But he is 6 years old and still not a very cogent talker. Both my sons (including his father) were talking a lot by 2, 2-1/2. I could carry on a normal conversation with my oldest son by the time he was 3 or so.
It is especially the MMR combination vaccine. But there are something like 40 or more vaccines that kids get before they are 1 year old.

You need to have made ten years worth of payments and have ten years of eligible employment at a non-profit of some sort.
Ever since those programs were instituted, Congress has changed standards for what qualified, so that's why you never heard of anyone actually getting their loans discharged that way before the last couple of years.

At that time, some claimed that successful fertility with those eggs was low. Not true, especially if the eggs are frozen earlier in the woman's life...
-
I'm betting freezing the eggs when the lady is young and then implanting the eggs when the lady remained fairly young was the key.

ex. A person with a peanut allergy should never survive long enough to procreate.

Since the Bush years, he has been disappointed that his dream candidates never get to run for the brass ring. So he has been fairly up front about disliking a lot of the GOP general election nominees for prezzie including Trump. That gives his criticisms some bite of nominees and their short comings. However, he is not realistic that if he got the candidates he was pining for, that he would not end up disliking them as well.
The best policy is never put one's politicians on a pedestal--they will all do things that betray you, cause you harm, and live far better lives after they serve (Trump may be an exception here) than the US citizens that they serve.
I've seen too many candidates, officeholders, political parties, donors, etc. behave like jackasses when the general public is not around. I have seen some vilified pols actually be honest, decent, and hard working types that are hated by their colleagues and many of the people claiming to share the same party with them.

So why doesn't the GOP do anything (except campaign fulminations) about Biden's student loan giveaways? Because to them $175-billion isn't a lot of money. Coming out of the "people's purse" why, that's barely pocket change; nothing much to get excited about.
The GOP hasn't been Republican - representing the interests of the voters who sent them, as opposed to the moneyed interests who've purchased them - for more decades than I care to think about.

The process of egg freezing consists of egg cells being frozen at -196°C and maintained at that temperature for storage. This prevents the egg cells from degrading with time, meaning that they could theoretically be stored forever. However, there are regulations set by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) restricting the amount of time that eggs can be stored for. (this is a British website)
How long can I store my eggs for?
When stored for social reasons, such as lack of partner, or choosing to postpone pregnancy, eggs can be kept in storage for up to 10 years. After this period, they must be discarded. The HFEA regulations allow eggs from people that suffer from premature infertility to be stored for up to 55 years. Your doctor or clinician will be able to tell you whether you are eligible for extended egg storage and advise you on what to do if you meet the necessary criteria.

Doesn't work like that. Part of it is that people interested in politics read media that is purposefully misleading and full of lies. That includes Conservative Media TM too and they just won't let their buddies, no matter how discredited, disappear because they are in the club and we, the people are not.
Jim Treacher, for example, and Erick Erickson (has now apparently added Wood to his monicker). Both are paid shills and truly vile people yet they still get published. That goes for almost all of the NR people from the last twenty years or so and the whole Bullshit Bulwark crew in particular. Yet, these creatures are still cited as 'conservatives' when they spill their idiotic DC wisdom as if they are great thinkers instead of paid political whores.

This is good! To keep the NRA viable, it needs fresh blood/leadership every so often. No Wayne LaPierre’s hanging around forever.
Until proven otherwise, I will assume that Barr was hand-picked by the same board that enabled LaPierre's graft-o-rama.

That's from a place that's trying to sell the $10K procedure, Archimedes. Which is fine and I don't blame them because advertising works, but I doubt they'd tell you this unless it was in tiny writing at the bottom of the page:
"The clinical pregnancy rate per vitrified and thawed oocyte is 4.5%–12%.1 However, it should be noted that these data are generally derived from oocytes obtained from women less than 30 years of age. Clinical pregnancy rates decline with advanced maternal age at the time of freezing.1 Furthermore, the ASRM estimates that the live birth rate is 2%–12% for women under 38 years of age.6 Studies examining the success rates of social egg freezing remain limited, and egg freezing does not guarantee a successful pregnancy or live birth."

It is the childhood vaccine schedule that has been inflicted on infants and small children.
My oldest grandson has borderline autistic traits, and there is otherwise nothing wrong with him. He is nice, sweet kid. But he is 6 years old and still not a very cogent talker. Both my sons (including his father) were talking a lot by 2, 2-1/2. I could carry on a normal conversation with my oldest son by the time he was 3 or so.
It is especially the MMR combination vaccine. But there are something like 40 or more vaccines that kids get before they are 1 year old.

My second oldest son was developing perfectly normally until he got the MMR shot. A couple of days after the shot he passed out due a high fever, stopped breathing and almost died. After that the clock was set back to birth developmentally and he started exhibiting autistic traits such a stimmy behavior (hitting yourself), ecolalia and the such.
He just turned 20 yesterday but he’ll never be able to live on his own. He is only moderately autistic and thankfully can take care of his basic hygiene needs.

Is NH really in play?
A new poll from UMass Lowell today has Biden +6 over Trump in the 5-way. Trump usually does better in the 5-way, btw, than in the H2H. This poll has it 42-36 for Biden. The other 22% is scattered hither & yon.
The NH Journal poll, which Ace sites at the top, is not included in the RCP avg, for whatever reasons. The NH Journal is populist/right politically.
Although there have only been 3 RDP-approved NH polls so far, & a couple are somewhat stale, the RCP avg of these is Biden +6.
Based on past bitter experience, I'm skeptical about Trump having a genuine shot at winning NH.
Ironically, NH is the whitest state in the U.S., IIRC. So... can't blame this one on AOP & Cori Bush.

I think the figure was around 45,000 votes across the 5 cities that stole the vote in 2020. Even a 3-5% third party vote makes that pretty impossible. Anyone who voted for Trump last time is going to vote for him this time. They know their vote was stolen. No way Biden is going to get "81 million" votes this time after what he has put the country through. If there is an undecided voter out there, is that person gong to decide that Biden is the best choice? They are going to vote 3rd party or stay home.

Freeing millions in debt slavery to the U.S. government by further entrenching them in debt slavery to the U.S. government. Makes sense.
Not to mention the move is inflationary.

Attendance for Biden in NH was equivalent to a quarterly townhall meeting for a town of 5,000 where the discussion revolves around how many feet of sidewalk they can afford for a utility tank. And Biden has the MFM in tow to boost the numbers.
But, remember, Biden got more votes than any President in history. It's all those shy Obama/Biden voters scared of their shadows that "society" and MAGAts will assault them if they speak or show that remain hidden in polling.

That's from a place that's trying to sell the $10K procedure, Archimedes. Which is fine and I don't blame them because advertising works, but I doubt they'd tell you this unless it was in tiny writing at the bottom of the page:
Good point, but I want to know what the CPR is for "fresh" oocytes. I think many people assume it's 100%. It isn't.
"The clinical pregnancy rate per vitrified and thawed oocyte is 4.5%–12%.1
Clinical pregnancy rates decline with advanced maternal age at the time of freezing.1 Furthermore, the ASRM estimates that the live birth rate is 2%–12% for women under 38 years of age.6 Studies examining the success rates of social egg freezing remain limited, and egg freezing does not guarantee a successful pregnancy or live birth."
Nobody is saying (at least I'm not) that 100% of fertilized eggs lead to children, nor that later maternity doesn't diminish one's chances of a successful pregnancy, or that a successful pregnancy is guaranteed (which is also true of young women). But it is incorrect to say that frozen eggs rarely lead to fertilization. Your extract does not compare successful pregnancy rates for frozen vs fresh eggs.

Perot was a life long democrat, and was working in cooperation with Clinton and Jim Wright.

Nah. Perot LOVED free trade - so long as he and his family controlled it. He wouldn’t be able to control it with NAFTA so he hated free trade. (When you get down to it, free trade opponents’ biggest problem is with freedom. I’m not even a free trade purist. I am of the view of Denali: free trade with all except the PRC, they are the enemy).
And Perot loved telling people what the problems were without offering solutions. He talked a great game in other areas but had zero to offer in terms of solutions. If I were of voting age in 1992 with hindsight I would have voted Alfred E. Neuman.

If you look at a map of north Fort Worth, there are about 10,000 acres in an area called Alliance. Perot family owns that. The alliance was between Perot and Jim Wright, dem speaker. They snuck a free trade deal into legislation so that Perot could build a huge import facility there and not pay taxes. Bush pushed NAFTA through and took most of the value away. Perot vowed to get revenge, and worked with Clinton to ensure that Bush lost even though Clinton only got 40% of the vote. Four years later, Clinton called again, and this time gave Perot part of the social security remittance business if he would run again. Now, Alliance is a huge distribution center for Fedex, Amazon, and others.

Gell Mann amnesia effect coined by Michael Crichton. A lot of the NTers on the right look for people that they would feel comfortable with their peers allowing them to support. Since their circle of friends revile candidate A over candidate B, then the great unwashed ignoramuses must be led to candidate B. This sort of NTer is locked into the NY-DC axis and often composed of the minor footsoldiers of the party apparatus. They read material passed around by their group, they talk to insiders that corroborate and amplify their feelings, and so on. So they read nonsense by approved writers in Conservative media and nod approvingly with them. But, essentially, they ignore all the past time when these pundits of wisdom got it wrong or were found to be paid tainted whores for one campaign or another or simply disappointed officeseekers.
Hard to describe DC if you haven't lived there for a while but it is literally full of people that are simply loathsome toadies for their political patrons.

The part you all are missing is that Biden's administration is freeing millions of American from debt slavery to the US government. It's probably the only decent thing they will ever do, and rights the wrong (of changing standards for all of these loan forgiveness programs implemented by Congress, so that no one ever actually qualifies for them) that Congress has perpetrated on borrowers
Posted by: FeatherBlade
Am I missing sarcasm? There are loans made directly from the govt. in some cases, but many student loans are private and many people who consolidated their loans did so through private companies. Those people will keep their loan obligations because the government can’t tell a private company to wipe their books. While this is buying votes for some, it’s going to upset others who have the same debt, but because of how they refied, they won’t ever be free from it beyond, you know, paying them back. It is also upsetting those of us who paid astronomical loans back. My story is a little more complicated and I won’t bore you to death with it, but I paid loans I didn’t know I had.

Freeing millions in debt slavery to the U.S. government by further entrenching them in debt slavery to the U.S. government. Makes sense.
Not to mention the move is inflationary.
Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33

Not necessarily--the money sent to the gubmint for loan payments is not used to pay down the national debt but simply for allow for more gubmint spending. Same as social security and medicare taxes since LBJ's time--the money collected is spent and ious put in their place.
Dynamic analysis is really difficult of money flows and computing what will and will not cause inflation has a lot of problems datawise.
We really do not have a revenue problem but a government spending problem which will lead inevitably to a monetary collapse of some sort in the near future. We are already on the periphery of the historical average time that fiat money schemes exist before they collapse.

People are always going to be enraged by government actions in particulars but the natural path of government is to take from some to give to others. It eventually ends up in past generations sacrificing the future by accumulating huge amounts of debt that can never be repaid.
How many people resent that roughly one trillion bucks (last time I checked) goes to welfare related spending. How many people are mad that we have spent a trillion roughly speaking over Iraq and Afghanistan.

My oldest grandson has borderline autistic traits, and there is otherwise nothing wrong with him. He is nice, sweet kid. But he is 6 years old and still not a very cogent talker. Both my sons (including his father) were talking a lot by 2, 2-1/2. I could carry on a normal conversation with my oldest son by the time he was 3 or so.
It is especially the MMR combination vaccine. But there are something like 40 or more vaccines that kids get before they are 1 year old.

I am not sold on this one.
My opinion is that we have too many people of poor genetic composition surviving to breeding age.
ex. A person with a peanut allergy should never survive long enough to procreate.
I don't think Darwin was completely correct, but he wasn't completely wrong either.
I see him more like Ptolemy than Copernicus. Wrong. But crazy accurate.
Posted by: garrett at May 22, 2024 01:10 PM (gmlRP)
Some traits survive that wouldn't have in earlier times but those tend to be the ones that matter less given our civilization level. This I assume is more than counterbalanced by the mixing of genes from distant places in the US due to travel to school and jobs rather than picking your mate from a narrow district or the same village and inbreeding.

debt slavery? Shouldn't there be scare quotes around that? Sorry, I'm very old school ... nobody was forced to take out 'education' loans. I've never avoided paying a loan, and since I was 22 (back in '71), I've never not paid off early. Haven't had an actual loan since I turned 50. I learned that saving until I could pay cash for anything has saved me an enormous amount of money.
So ... I have less than zero sympathy for former students with huge obligations.
My hero is my stepdaughter ... a scientist with a lucrative career ... who worked her way through to her Masters and has no student debt.

Seldom mentioned, but important.
Obamacare is supposed to be partially funded with the Govt receipts from Student Loans, that was part of the entire "It pays for itself" rationale that led to it's passage. Biden recently adding illegal migrants to the program only makes it even worse.

Merchan's game is to convict Trump no matter how ridiculously bad his actions are - so Trump has a "Felony" conviction to give the Dems a talking point for the election.
Trump's attorney, in the closing arguments ought to point out the possibility of "jury nullification". Of course that would be an automatic mistrial... Oops, Sorry about that.
