I wonder how far $300,000,000,000 would go on the boarder wall?
All the way to to Guatemala.........................😎
It used to be that a college degree meant something and gave you a leg up on your career. Want ads would often include "bachelor's degree" as a requirement. Nowadays, smart employers filter out college grads and look to hire those who have actual work experience beyond assembling sandwiches at Chipotle.
The problem is that everybody goes to college nowadays which means that having a college degree is no longer special. It is no longer a distinction that separates you from other applicants in the workforce. What matters now is the skills and experience you bring to the table and now it is those who didn't waste four years in college that have the leg up.
How is it that Biden can do this ?? When did our system allow a move such as this being made without some congressional oversight/approval??
It is allowed by the Education department under the auspices of the pandemic and war. In other words, they are misusing the law.
Racked up $10,000 in student loans (plus another $5,000 in interest and penalties because I wasn't paying them back).
Fast forward a decade to 2006 and I get a phone call from a collection agency that they're going to garnish my wages if I didn't start giving them some money. Knowing that a wage garnishment could damage the security clearance I had at work, I came up with a payment plan.
For the next ten years I paid $125 a month, fully paying off this debt in 2016.
What a chump I was.
Easy.
He's doing this under federal emergency statutes granted to the executive branch.
What's the federal emergency?
Covid, of course.
Where the hell is my degree? Or your degree? Since we are giving some dead beat kid a degree for free, we should have one given to us for free.
And of course the repubics sit by and stare into space
They knew this was coming. They should have prepared a legal team to research and prepare a case for an interested party to sue. The lawsuit should have been made today.
I will not hire anyone who has their loan forgiven. And I’m sure it probably would be illegal, but I would try to find out which employees had loans forgiven and would fire them too.
If they can’t meet their commitments I don’t want them working for me.
The biggest mistake by Trump was declaring a ‘national emergency’ on the b.s. covid situation. It is the vehicle used to lurch toward totalitarianism, especially in the ‘blue’ states.
What a chump I was. I paid $125 a month, fully paying off my student debt in 10 years.
Golly, Biden’s a real uniter.......uniting chumps, freeloaders and loan defaulters......all at once.
And leave hundreds of billions of bucks, if not over a trillion, in endowments untouched...
SPOT ON. I wouldn’t hire those Bums either. Sadly I’ve seen too many jobs that have listed as the #1 requirement is a Bachelors Degree. STEM or Medical fields it’s understandable.
However, I believe that it’s in all the new SQUISH Degree Diversity & Inclusion BS fields is where the vast majority of this debt resides. Lazy pukes want free school and $100K/yr jobs for doing nothing. Enough of the Participation Trophies already!
Little bass turds want everything to be FREE. The morons don’t understand that somebody has to pay for their freebies. They can afford the latest cell phone and watch that tells you how many steps you walked today but they can’t pay for four years worth of spring breaks. Jo Jo the Pedophile clown isn’t paying for their so-called socialist “student loan forgiveness.” The government isn’t paying for it. THE HARWORKING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS ARE BEING FORCED TO PAY FOR COLLEGE FOR THESE MORONS. If they had paid attention in middle school and high school, they wouldn’t need that extra four years of trying to learn something. Jerks.
Even Pelosi said it was not in POTUS power to do.
This amounts to spending money Congress has not authorized him to do. And a HUGE AMOUNT!.................................
