Ohio Elite Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Just now, Ban Basketball said: But, us Christian conservative Republicans don't want laws passed by Congress at this time! We've been begging Biden to take Executive action on the border and to NOT do it through Congress! We're also following the direct directive of our party boss, Inmate #PO1135809 on this, and we agree. Lol

It's like a retroactive GI bill. Do public service and we'll pay for your education. Are you against the GI bill too? The other thing to note is that many of these people have already paid more than the original amount of their loan. So cancel the interest and not the damn loan. It’s not that hard. 1

Biden could have done what he’s asking for and more when he had control of the senate and house during his first two years. He doesn’t want to do anything now but since it’s an election issue he all of a sudden is interested.

Biden is absolutely responding at this time because of an impending election. Republicans are absolutely blocking Biden from giving the people what they want because of an impending election. Games people play. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

No. Republicans haven’t had control of the Oval Office, senate and house like Biden did. The politics that are happening now regarding the border could have all been avoided had Biden reacted when he had the control. 1
JimmyBT Posted February 21 Posted February 21 7.2 million unlawful immigrants have entered the country since Biden took office. That’s more than the population of 36 states.
JimmyBT Posted February 21 Posted February 21 I love how the ban basketball guy comes out of no where and changes the thread focus from student debt to the border. Priceless 1

The average teacher has a significantly higher likelihood of dying on the job compared to members of some military branches. Hint: 0.0 USSF Guardians have been killed in combat. They will almost certainly serve their community for longer than the average servicemember.So, is a USSF Guardian who serves four years, between Vandenberg and Schriever, and maybe “deploying” to another building at the base he or she works at already, more deserving of loan forgiveness than a teacher who teaches at a crappy, underfunded school for 8 years?

They can spend more in the economy, start businesses, have children, etc…

jross Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I'm making sacrifices as a provider, living within my means, and paying my bills. I do not support rewarding people who borrow irresponsibly or choose expensive colleges without considering the financial implications. Do you know what retroactive loan forgiveness does beyond reckless enablement? It raises the cost of education for contributors because the government guarantees payment. A teacher who can't afford to pay their bills shouldn't be a teacher. Change your life so that more money comes in rather than goes out. Get roommates. Live in the basement. Eat ramen. Get a second job. Honor your commitments. I've been there before, so I'm not now. Weak minds. 2
jross Posted February 22 Posted February 22 My point of contention is mainly with the government making retroactive changes that are even bigger enablements for reckless behavior. This increases unwanted debt and burdens us taxpayers. This person in the medical field worked for a non-profit hospital and took out $400K loans at a 7.25%. They paid a total of $50K in interest-only payments over 10 years... and the loan increased to $500K. The government forgave it! WTF! These Reddit subs say congrats. Even this crazy amount could have been paid back with sacrifice. Stupid and weak.

jross Posted February 22 Posted February 22 The GI Bill is not loan forgiveness. I support affordable education, but loan forgiveness in its current format, with this much national debt, with our current taxes, with the mother milk enablement, is unacceptable.

There an impedicant to what America needs! This wouldn't be an issue if the government and loan-takers were 'active-practicing' conservative Christians. The country would have a monetary surplus, and people would pay their dues. Education would also be affordable. https://www.cofo.edu/About is an example. The 10 commandments say you shouldn't steal (government retro program, taxes, not paying loans), covet (people spending on their covets and not paying bills, politicians going after votes), honor your parents (pay your dues), etc. The 10 commandments do not directly help your sarcastic criticism. The New Testament contains teachings that emphasize compassion, generosity, and helping those in need. This is a bit open to interpretation. My idea of help is to put these people through educational programs that teach them how to live within their means and honor their financial obligations. I can pay taxes for that. Full loan forgiveness is the opposite of helping these people. The NT also says “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Matthew 22:21. The bible says a lot about personal responsibility... fiscal responsibility. Edited February 22 by jross Adjusted sentence. Also FWIW: Agnostic for most my adult life but raised Christian 1
