    What a fucking brilliant idea. Let’s start seizing people/institutional money.

    Why would anyone save for college going forward?

    I cannot imagine what Ben’s first year will cost. Is $100k/yr at a private institution some kind of hard cap?

    Right wing media correcting attacking this head on because they know it's a win for Dems in a crucial year.

    Haven't dug in yet to see if my remaining ~$4k qualifies or not, think it does. Thanks faggots!

    This does absolutely nothing to address the underlying mechanisms of why student debt is so out of control in the US. So we will likely be in the same spot (or worse) in a decade from now.

    But it’s an election year and dumb people will eat this up.

    So yeah, definitely a win for one of our two political parties.

    the fact that state schools use the US gov't to act as a guarantor for loans from private banks for students tuition is insane

    I wrote about the fisherman in upper Maine with their Trump banners. They are gonna be real fans of tuition forgiveness


    Not since 2008 when no banker went to jail (got bonuses instead) will populism get a greater shot in the arm over an issue so plain.

    It's just mind blowing that we still have to discuss the GOP in any meaningful way, toss em in the trash bin of history.

    Not often I loose a lot of bets. I’d have loaded up on “responsible people who already paid off their loans” as the “the most outraged population” of people in reaction to this. Figure a -200 price would be about right.


    Nope.

    I severely underestimated the “this is no where near enough” camp

    &

    The “this is fucking racist because white people go to college” camp.

    Not remotely strong and cogent.

    Full blown whataboutism.

    Should have simple walked off

    As demographics fall off the cliff the US will likely nationalize the state colleges and offer free education.

    You don’t “get in” you simply “go in”.

    Free breakfast and lunch included. Maybe a stipend.

    and yet overall college numbers have dropped by 6%+ since Covid. Ppl discovering college isnt always the key to a good lifetime income unless you're doing hard sciences or just want to run up debt with a bullshit degree and be a starbucks barista with a degree in womens studies or art appreciation.

    So people are looking at the risk reward of some 4 year degrees and concluding they will not be worth the investment and a growing number of them are taking a pass. I’m sure bailing people out won’t impact this important decision making process which would ultimately bring down the price of said 4 year degree.

    Know how to stop people from going for a $200K basket weaving degree? Have them hear these horror stories. Know how to not only keep people going into these programs and mis allocating their time but also watching universities mis allocating capital into building a new basket weaving wing to the campus? Bail these people out.

    It’s like we are all taking crazy pills.

    This really is such a dumb policy.

    There's only a finite amount of government handouts to go around.

    Why would you earmark such a large amount of it for the already college educated -- one of the most privileged segments of the population?

    What about the working class people who chose not to take on that debt, and now have lifelong reduced earning power? Joke's on them?

    What about the responsible people who paid back their debt, while going without luxuries enjoyed by those who chose not to pay it back? Joke's on them?

    All the left has to say back is, "B-b-b-but education should have been free all along!", as if that answers any of these concerns. It's just pandering to get votes back for the Democrats, but it's an odd strategy, because they're already killing it among the college educated. In fact, Democrats have been INCREASING their share of the college educated in recent years. They're just losing big time with working class whites, and now working class minorities as well. This will just hasten the exodus of the working class, who will be especially resentful here.
