  1. sorry.... do I cite polls and think tanks here? or do I try to discuss facts...

    if people asked who cites non stop articles, studies, think tank pieces and biased reports, me or you... who do you think they will pick :).

    I have been pretty consistent thrashing economicsts and polls for a long time...the studies cited are theoretical... not fact based.


    Even you have to admit if YOU READ THEM...
    they are guesstimates.

    If it's regressive in theory at $50K of forgiveness, it's still regressive at $10K or $20K of forgiveness.

    Despite the name -- "John Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics" -- this think-tank is not part of John Hopkins University. It is housed in a university building due to a donation and for years the faculty have been demanding this think-tank be evicted.

    Of course a small number of the think-tank authors are John Hopkins professors.

    So you are claiming the University of Chicago is a think-tank? Where is your evidence?

    No, I'm questioning the credentials of the BFI @uchicago campus who put out the study you link as you did for the John Hopkins study.

    Are two "formerly independent" now singularly independent or part of uchicago and adhere to the Uni's standards?

    So are you saying the Brookings Institution is a conservative think-tank now as well?

    At this point we have multiple studies from both conservative and liberal institutions saying the exact same thing about Biden's student loan relief plan. It's pretty clear his plan benefits higher income whites more than lower income minority college graduates. Any way you slice/dice the facts and math -- this reality is very clear.
