Nope their only hope is for death. Seriously.
Republicans would be against a cure for cancer if a liberal discovered it. >

Cure for cancer would be unfair to the pharmaceutical companies who provide cancer treatment, and think of the hospitals! >

If we cure the problem, think about all the companies that benefit off the problem!? They worked so hard exploiting the vulnerable, don't they deserve a 3rd home!? >

“Well you should have that about that before you became peasants!” >

Cancel the forgiveness of every single One of their PPP Loans, since a subscription president could do the same to the student loan forgiveness >

PPP loan Small town drama: Yea old guy in my town bought/ sold old cars corvettes, square body fords/ chevys. He also did some mechanic work for the townspeople. He had 3 employees: him, his wife/ secretary, one mechanic. He got the MAX he could (I don’t remember the $ amount).
All the sudden he has a fresh new lot of cars/trucks being worked on, painted, on sale/   display. Within a year He sells all of his fresh new lot. Sells the business because he is making so much $$ his books look amazing. 3-6 months after the sale he moves 1/4 mile up the road and opens up a new shop. Effectively starving the mechanic shop that bought the business. Old guy got the loan forgiven last I looked.
But I can’t get 5-10k on a loan I have been paying on for 5 years. “But it got you a higher paying job” yes from $16->20…. However, now that the company is desperate my work is hiring high schoolers in at my rate of pay…. Rant over >

Fun-er fact, it you report PPP fraud and the money is recouped you yourself get 15%. 
Who fucking knows if any of the scam PPP claimers (I mean, more than all the rest of them) have actually gotten in trouble, but it's worth dropping a dime anyway. >

Who the fuck we drop a dime to though? >

Shame there were so many bad actors trying to rip the government off.
For what it's worth my wife recieved a small PPP loan for her brick and mortar retail shop. It went straight to keeping staff on payroll even when the shop was closed due to COVID. >

"Our children deserve the right to drown in debt just like we didn't" is a strange hill to die on. >

Especially when a lot of the people that say things like that didn't even have to drown in debt.  College/Uni was much more affordable decades ago when they attended and, dependent on the school, could be completely covered with a minimum wage job with money to spare. >

That's why they said "just like we didn't" >

Ah.  I misread the "didn't" as "did". >

No worries, and sorry I wasn't trying to be a dick about it. Just figured you read it too quickly! >

No problem at all.  Thanks for pointing it out. >

We can’t be helping citizens. - that’s against the rules according to GOP >

That part about many young recruits being so out of shape they can’t even run and that they don’t have the proper bone density is wild >

Maybe they shouldn’t have ducked up society so much by enticing people to eat vitamin deficient food and enabling acute stressors that make them want to escape through eating or drugs.  Maybe all of this is a byproduct of the super shitty corpo-capitalist world they’ve created through greed and exploitation.  The whole system is feeding back on itself. >

The original school lunch program was heavily/nationally expanded by warhawks due to poor quality military recruits after WWII. They found that if students got at least a decent quality lunch that when they became eligible to get drafted/join the military they'd be more likely to pass physicals and be less intellectually deficient. Who knew that having a good diet promotes healthy brain development AND fosters good learning when you don't have to be distracted by your stomach rumbling so hard it's causing a fuckin earthquake. >

Part of me hopes they succeed in shooting it down and Biden just says "fuck it" and keeps extending the payment pause indefinitely. He could keep that up for the rest of his Presidency, which means if he wins reelection, the next President will have to decide whether to reinstate payments in 2029.
Who wants to be the asshole who tells Americans "OK, time to start paying your loans again!" after 9 years? >

This is what I’ve been hoping for. If we can stretch the non-payment period to 2024, we enter an election year where no one will bring up the student loan topic unless they want an automatic loss.  Then we’re set til at least early 2025 (when a new President may be inaugurated if biden loses or chooses not to run again), and even then biden or especially anyone new will not want to rock the boat with student loans in order to keep their approval ratings up. So if we can get this to go til 2024, we’re probably set til 2026, easy. >

Isn’t the law that gives Biden the authority based on emergency powers? And isnt Biden dropping the emergency? This won’t come to pass, unfortunately >

Nah, they can extend it as long as they want. The emergency powers come in to play with the cancellation of student debt. >

If the issue that's holding this up is that it's "selective", why not just wipe it all the day before the emergency powers end?   That should kill the only real defence the other side had against it as far as the courts go. >

The issue is congress normally has complete control over spending amounts ( power of the purse) but the president can use some amount of the funding from executive departments to fund stuff usually needing to cut budgets to do so. Emergency powers give some new flexibility to spend money for the executive, but that’s the part that’s being challenged. >

hey everyone in every state who has a student loan: these are the people who are actively trying to make your day to day life more difficult. vote accordingly. >

this keep note of every name and constantly blast it on the airwaves on voting season >

Christ, what assholes. >

The problem is, evil will always triumph, because good is dumb. >

I don’t agree with you there, the light is far smarter and more capable. Darkness just knows no bounds.

That’s exactly how I feel >

If it helps regular everyday citizens, they're going to fight it. >

Especially if the average citizen is trying to educate themselves. 🤔 >

And they use this education to get better jobs which ends up with them paying more in taxes and raising children in more stable environments which means those children are also likely to become taxpayers rather than prisoners. >

Make people pay back the PPP loan at the same interest rates we pay back student loans.
MTG 180k at a 30 year payback rate at 6% would be 1400 a month. 500 in principle and 900 in interest. >

They always want people to be just as miserable as they are. >

That’s a hat I have come to realize. All their money and all their power and they are just miserable assholes. >

Because it’s never ever enough.
