This makes people upset, but it's because they forget that the point of the republican party is to be the cleanup crew for liberalism.

@Remi @professionalbigot69 remember, if you are keeping books, a forgiven loan has to come off someone's account.

@sapphire @Remi @professionalbigot69 people that respect order are upset because they are still holding onto the hope that a "rrrRrrOCKEd rrrIBBED rRrEPUBLICAN" can come in and fix the books and right the system.

@sickburnbro @Remi @professionalbigot69 it’s not mine so I don’t give a fuck
Forgive a trillion dollars of loans it won’t make a drop in the bucket of this country’s debt crisis nor will it lead to raised taxes

@sickburnbro @Remi @professionalbigot69 I don’t give a fuck about them either, the only way we right this ship indirectly leads to debt jubilee too

@sickburnbro @Remi @professionalbigot69 look man either hyperinflation hits and I pay my debt with a loaf of bread or Hitler 2 hits and my debt suddenly doesn’t have any collectors

@sapphire @Remi @professionalbigot69 @sickburnbro I think in the trenches maybe, but at the semi-elite levels, at the State Houses and such, where it's populated by people who had mommy and daddy cover their college costs so the morality of some money-play doesn't enter into it. Another example is the doctor with the Big State U degree on his wall: if Big State U is brought to heel then maybe the graduates, like him, aren't all that special either (they're not).

@EvilSandmich @Remi @professionalbigot69 @sickburnbro it’s not that deep, literally everyone I’ve talked to who is against this either says they didn’t get student loans so it’s not “fair” or they got student loans and broke their backs paying them off so it’s not “fair”

@sickburnbro @sapphire @Remi @professionalbigot69 There are a lot of people on the right who are (also) terrified of the idea of ending the monastical gatekeeping performed by the regime's university system as they've tied their own self worth, and that of their families, up in it. Better that a million purple-hairs have their debts absorbed by money printing than The System that defines them come in for scrutiny.

@EvilSandmich @sapphire @Remi @professionalbigot69 yes, there are a lot of very bad incentives in play here.

"Affordable" "free" and "access to" is politispeak for "we'll take it from someone who earned it." Which is fancy talk for theft & slavery.

@sapphire @Remi @professionalbigot69 @sickburnbro >Meanwhile every ... Xer who got their trade cert or paid off their loans
Not this one, but I probably am an exception. Like others on here I'm more resentful on having been forced to play the game than some delusion that it benefitted me.
Of all the outrages perpetrated by the regime I'm not even sure this would make it into the top 20 (if it even is an outrage). I'm much more concerned about them banning my lawn mower.

@EvilSandmich @Remi @professionalbigot69 @sickburnbro we’re talking about two different sides of the coin. These people are all for debt forgiveness without these hoops because right now the Biden admin has to have reasons to go after these schools
Meanwhile every boomer and Xer who got their trade cert or paid off their loans is SEETHING because how dare their kids get anything but shit on

@sickburnbro @sapphire @Remi @professionalbigot69 One thing the Austrians got absolutely right is the concept of the "crack-up boom". It cannot be avoided, and delaying it simply makes it exponentially worse

@TrevorGoodchild @sapphire @Remi @professionalbigot69 the Austrians got a lot right, but the simple fact is modeling humans in any endeavor is tricky.
