The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

A little puzzled by the WH focus on Paycheck Protection Program as an analog to student loan forgiveness since the former was actually implemented through *legislation in Congress*.

Would be great if presidents and their parties didnt pass public policy through executive orders or reconciliation or through the political SCOTUS.

both sides

if you cant get 60 senators to say "yes", maybe negotiate/work together? but in reality votes now are party line votes.

This country is fucked.

Bernie Sanders
@SenSanders
I hear Republicans complaining about $20,000 in student debt forgiveness. Funny, I didn't hear those complaints when Trump declared bankruptcy 6 times & had $287 million in loans forgiven by big banks. The GOP l-o-v-e-s socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the rest.

It’s not forgiveness…the money will be paid back by the middle/working class most likely in taxes hikes.

As someone who saw tax returns when underwriting years ago…this will certainly benefit folks earning up in the 4 maybe 3 percent of top income. Those folks know how to not show income for the tax man.

And Dems too. Problem is student loan forgiveness is the same type of action that caused education to get so expensive (Government money/loan guarantees flooding the system). It helps graduates with current loans but will accelerate costs for education, thus screwing current and future students.
