According to Goldman Sachs...it will basically have no real effect on the economy. Certainly less than the usual Republican tax cuts or the military spending.

I literally don't believe that. How could it not?

we know trickle UP economics is how you juice an economy. This will allow more people to buy things or do things they've been putting off.

For all the things we can rip Biden for...the guy gets messaging and always has. He may be too centrist for many of us but he knows how to talk to the majority of Americans.

Biden is the most successful Democratic politician on messaging since Bill Clinton. That's one reason the GOP is terrified of him. He's not playing by the liberal rules of couching his every utterance in careful, nuanced, academicese that leaves 90% of the population either shaking their heads or spiteful and angry. He speaks of, by, and for The People, god bless their mangy as-ses.

I'm like a head trip to listen to
'Cause I'm only giving you, things you joke about with your friends
Inside your living room
The only difference is I got the balls to say it in front of y'all
And I don't gotta be false or sugar coat it at all

-- Joe Biden, paraphrased

I read payments restarting is going to offset the impact of writing down the balances.

Would people be able to not take the write down if they didn’t want the uncertainty of litigation? It sounds absurd but I’m sure there are some people, even if it’s not a huge amount, who would want to just have their loans dead and buried and not have to worry about them down the road.
 
It's interesting to hear the argument that because some (like me) paid off their loans others should not be entitled to the benefit. By this way of thinking we shouldn't give people polio vaccine because there was a time when it wasn't available.

Here’s some big news: any student loan payments made after March 13, 2020 can be refunded, loaded back onto the loan balance, and then be forgiven.

Holy shit!

This is awesome... I knocked out a majority of my loans during the Pandemic since I was basically just sitting around doing nothing.

Also I will absolutely gloat to all the DERPs I can if I can get back the full ~$7,000 I paid off during this time.

Also this will go straight into the down payment for a new car that is already in the works for the second half of 2023 =)

Here is their reasoning...

I am not learned enough to be able to figure out if they are on point or not.
 
For those who may not be as well, ahem, versed, it is astonishing to me how many “Christians” don’t read their fucking Bibles (narrator: no, it’s not).

Unlike guns, gays, and, gynecology, student loan forgiveness is 100% directly addressed in the Gospels - in the red text (“exact” words of Jesus), no less. Matthew chapter 20 is the parable of the workers in the vineyard. Look it up. Pretty much explicitly says that you are not supposed to be jealous or whiny when someone else gets a good deal.

My favorite past time on Twitter is finding the whiny Trumpers who hate handouts, social safety nets, or just being kind in general who have either "Christian" "God" or a bible verse in their profile and then tweeting them the Bible verse in response that proves them wrong. If they are racist I might add in that Jesus was dark skinned ;^)

They always skip the gospels. They only care about the books after that.

Hell they often skip Leviticus or even the Ten Commandments. Outside of a Charleton Heston film they have no idea what the book Exodus is!

The fact they think Jesus would be some capitalist aggressor proves I as an Agnostic Jew understand the teachings of Jesus than a lot of supposed Christians.

He may not have been. Apparently, many folks who spoke Aramaic then were an educated class who intermarried freely with Greeks who had traded in the region since Alexander. Jesus may have been like Cleopatra -- mostly Greek.

Idea for slash fiction: Jesus and Caesarion, Cleopatra's son by Julius Caesar.
