@averagejoe1 saidYou really are not making any sense. Are you having a mini-stroke or something?
Just quoting the poll. You are right, they will spend it wisely, no one is going to the waste the money, they will do what Joe wants them to do. Nailed me on that one.
@no1marauder saidI just had to go back a few clicks and read this one again. A classic!
As I already showed, the benefits of the student loan forgiveness program flow mostly to the middle and working classes.
As I already showed, the cost of the program is chump change compared to total Federal spending.
@averagejoe1 saidThe poll found that 73% of student loan forgiveness recipients are going to the Caribbean?

But gettin a little personal , are ya'? Hey, do you think we prob should have instead used it to pay off mortgages of legless veterans with families who have to help him do everything? Soothfast? And after answering , feel free to ask me a question ..
And isn't your talk of "legless veterans" changing the subject? You're all over the place, alternating between changing the subject and accusing other of changing the subject. It's like you're on an acid trip gone bad.
@soothfast saidTravel. They said travel. Sorry, man, what a stupid I am. Oh, and it said 'and dining' you must have not read it. Logically, then, they would not use it all on travel, would they?

Hey, does Joe they would use some of the money for tattoos? Downer. Taxpayer money to pay for their tattoos. You libs absolutely do not get this thread.
You have lost this thread. Try changing over to Jan 6.
@averagejoe1 saidI'm 100% on topic. The loan forgiveness program was projected to put money back into the economy in any number of ways, including wining, dining, and traveling. Why can't you wrap even one brain cell around this very basic idea?

The Fox article in your OP is actually screaming that the program is working as intended. You are too dense to see this, being blinded by your rage and prejudices.
@soothfast saidWhy not drop money out of helicopters then. Same result.

You just think student loans are a preferable charity, that is all.
Why not forgive people's medical bills? That would put money back into the economy.
@metal-brain saidYou really think dropping cash out of helicopters will achieve the same results as the student loan forgiveness program? Do you have an 8-bit brain or something? Because that is remarkably unnuanced thinking.

But yeah, I get it, you're trolling for attention. You can get that just waving your willy at the bus station, so get going.
@soothfast saidIf it is the same amount, yes. Absolutely.

@no1marauder said"the government is foregoing taking money from private citizens"
Hilariously in this case the government is foregoing taking money from private citizens yet you are so ignorant that you think this is some expansion of government power.
What, our money isn't good enough anymore? Okay, fine. If the government doesn't want my money I'll just give it to someone else...
or toss it into a lake.
@kilroy70 saidSame as a tax cut; the government is saying it will take less from the People.

I thought you guys liked tax cuts?
@soothfast saidAre you calling Ben Bernanke a conspiracy theorist?
Sometimes I wonder if you're playing at being a parody of a conspiracist.
Are you claiming it matters who you give the money to if your only goal is to stimulate the economy? It may be better to give the money to poor people instead of wealthy people, but the 1.9 trillion stimulus package went mostly to wealthy people. 90%
You don't know much about economics, do you?
@metal-brain saidIs that counting the billions that went to mega corporation drug companies for the experimental untested seizure syrup?

"I didn't look at your link."
That is why you don't know what you are talking about. It is called willful ignorance.
