Why not just have a jubilee and let all the banksters eat their loans?

We just need a moratorium on new loans.

Just stop it.

Students are in the age group in which this virus is less serious than the common flu.

“Why don’t we just crash the economy? Be easier.”

they’re trying to.

Hatred of Trump is diving every bit of this.

Slowly but surely, the DEMs are getting their way even with Trump still in office.

What the &@^% do student loans have to do with a virus?? And, by the way, how many people who have student debt actually make their payments, let alone make them on time?

Stay tuned. As president Trump is about to deliver a speech to the citizens about suspending all taxes indefinitely, Nancy Pelosi is seen behind him ripping up the tax code. Greta, thunderbolts & lightning, Thor is protesting outside our house with all of the rest of CONgre$$ and the federal reserve cartel members.

I did. Every single month until the debt was paid in full. That meant working side jobs, but I did it.

While we’re at it, how about forgiving electric bills? or credit card payments? or how about we don’t have to check out at the grocery store? everything free. Oh, and free gas too!

Why are student loan payments better than my electric bill? No (fornicating) reason!

Better yet, let’s just go into a communist economy where the government takes care of everything (or pretends to)?

I can see “Goldman Sachs” Mnuchin getting right on that.

Sure why not suspend payments. Most aren’t paying anyway.

We already have. It just hasn’t hit the people yet. You think you have seen panic now, just wait until the layoffs start en masse at the end of March. This is going to make 2008 seem like a booming economy. Young people losing their jobs are going to be extremely angry over this exaggerated BS, that cost them everything.

Brilliant analogy between a student loan pause and crashing the economy...do you have a degree from the AOC School of Economics?

“Why not just have a jubilee and let all the banksters eat their loans?”

The biblical “reset button”. Wonder if it was ever practiced with consistency in ancient Israel.

Terrible! Mnuchin the Manhattan Democrat (Goldman, Skull and Bones, etc.), like Ivanka.

Better would be to just stop federal funding of student loans. That would be a move in the right direction.
