Student loan bailout is no different than Trump's policies to endear him to his voters ahead of elections.
I agree with your point about the role of the unions not keeping up with the times and potentially harmful to the development of our society but I am a bit confused about their role in shaping education. What has them protecting the incompetent have anything to do with the usefulness of the liberal arts education? The liberal arts education doesn't teach you about unions. They expose the weakness of the union and question their relevancy in today's society just the same.
“Free Thinkers” LMFAO Anyone who thinks differently from the liberal horde is labeled a racist, sexist, misogynist, or some other horrible label and instantly fired from their career and blackballed from society.
And we didn't complain either when we bailed out those multi-national financial conglomerates that got busted due to their reckless trading. But I believe the way to fix the student loan problems is not through forgiving the debt. A debt is a debt and should remain there until it's paid off. If you really want to forgive the debt then you should just write it off and erase it completely from the books, not force another group of people who had nothing to do with the debt in the first place to come in and foot the bill and then tout it around as a "debt forgiveness". You didn't forgive the debt; the debt is still there; you just made another group of people pay for it. Regardless whether it's through deficit reduction or through inflation reduction, American taxpayers are paying for it one way or another. Deficit reduction is through raised taxes that the taxpayers have to pay and inflation reduction is through increased mortgage and/or interest payments that taxpayers again are paying out of their pockets. The difference is just in the source of the payment. People are not fooled. Furthermore, the real solution to this student loan problem is not actually through forgiving the debt. This is just an ad-hoc band-aid cop-out. The real solution is to eliminate these student loans' existence in the first place. WHY do these student loans exist? Many of them existed out of fraudulent institutions that weren't legitimate teaching institutions but existed only to con people out of money and others stemmed from loans that were forced upon students by coercing them to study programs that they didn't need just for them to take on loans. So to tackle the student loan problem is to better regulate and oversee the education industry to get rid of the fake and fraudulent schools that tricked students to take on loans to study programs that do not create any job opportunities or benefit their lives in any way. WHY isn't Biden doing that? Why isn't Biden tackling this problem from the source if he wants to do something useful?? Perhaps it's because of this? https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus.php?ind=F1410 It's gotten the political contribution from the student loan industries so it can't do anything except to make sure they get paid but it is creating a problem for the students who undertook the loans so it's making the whole country pay for it. Yeah that's Biden to you. Never having the competence or the courage to tackle the problem from its roots and deal with it head-on, always come up with a solution that just spreads around the problem and then tout it as the miracle cure.
Interesting link, ty. In regards to it contributing to inflation, some data that suggests otherwise; https://rooseveltinstitute.org/2022...ent-debt-would-increase-wealth-not-inflation/
Well that used to be the case with anybody who thinks liberally for the common people, they get instantly fired and ostracized from society. Not agreeing with what some of the extreme-leftists are doing but just saying both sides have been guilty. Besides, the non-left thinkers the ones so labelled "racist, sexist, misogynist..." are not really blackballed from society. They thrive just as well. Bill Burr, one of my favourite comedians is doing well. Joe Rogan is another. Rush Limbaugh and the entire Fox network, they are all doing fin. We even had one for president, calling the covid the China virus and getting Asian-Americans attacked left and right. Even the KKK and the Neo-Nazis still exist and from this one article that I read, their membership and influence are actually growing. They are just now smarter with what they are preaching. They are not being eradicated; they are still existing. If you want to talk about somebody getting fired and blackballed because of their ideological beliefs, I can assure you that that has nothing to do with their ideological beliefs, that just has to do with taking advantage of ideological differences and using it to push that person down so to get ahead. And like I said, these kinds of shenanigans happen with both sides. I am sure you are old enough to remember McCarthyism? If not, here is a recap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism.
