Why is Biden extending the student loan repayment pause?

What an idiotic take.

These deadbeats resort to nonsense because loan forgiveness is utterly indefensible. Instead of fixing the system the Biden administration is simply attempting to buy voters.

Link us to your posts on “forgivable” PPE scams to filthy rich and fed buying trillions in bonds to prop up Wall Street. You’re a transparent dunce.

Quite the opposite.

This childless unmarried boomer is obvi lying. She is a lonely and miserable woman projecting her dark energy onto the world. Not to mention college was dirt cheap when she went, especially as it relates to median wages.

She’s childless? Not only does she have children, but brown ones

She’s never given birth, she has no heirs, she’s unmarried. She’s deeply unhappy.

OMG.
She has adopted children, friend. Three of them.
What do you think this is, a monarchy? "She has no heirs"...... what a totally asinine comment.
And, who are you to deem her "unhappy?"

Does it really matter at this point? If the kids didn’t buy a house in the last two years with record low interest rates and before SFHs skyrocketed, they’ll never own a home. A $10K gift from Biden isn’t going to change their life. It’s actually the defaults and delinquencies from the loans on their credit reports that causes the most harm. Wiping those negative dings from credit histories will help people a lot more in the long run.

The American public is so bitter if anyone gets anything. Our society has become completely self-absorbed. Everyone is like “me, me, me, me!!”

I don’t stand to gain loan forgiveness and have paid off a loan and a grant already. But I am ok with others receiving help.

I'm more concerned about the outrageous cost of post-secondary education in this country--even trade schools are super expensive. Why do we make it so hard for our future workers to get training? Why don't we see education as not only a basic right but essential to a healthy economy?

Polling proves the majority of the public is for some loan forgiveness. Right wing astroturfing is not real life.

The reality is that better colleges are more expensive than worse colleges. Among publics, UVa is better in many ways than GMU, and also more expensive. Among privates, NYU is better than Goucher, and more expensive. So it’s not surprising that people are taking out tons of loans when they’re told to go to the best school at all costs. In nearly every state, the flagship university is more expensive than the directional universities.

These people signed a contract agreeing to pay back what they borrowed.
Do we wipe out the loans of all mortgage holders? Do we cancel the loans of all who have credit card debt?

And, quit calling it "forgiveness." It is forgiving nothing. It is transferring the payments to taxpayers.
Call it what it is...... "Transferring student loans to those who did not contract for them."

Sounds like you’re trolling. But the max for FEDERAL undergrad loans is the same no matter where you go: $30,000 lifetime. Community college, trade school, regional university, ritzy private like NYU. Same $30,000 lifetime max.

Gets anything?

I am vehemently against paying the loans of people who benefited from those loans when I scrimped and saved to put myself AND my children through college.

Not trolling at all. Do tell me what’s untrue or irrelevant about anything I said above. That’s the limit for undergraduate federal loans only. There’s private loans, parent plus loans and graduate plus loans. A parent can take out up to the entire cost of attendance ($100k+) in federal parent plus loans additionally, as can students with private loans like SallieMae, provided they have a co-signer.

There’s tons of student loan misinformation on here.
