As a whole (2008 bailouts), paid back with interest.
Grand Coulee Damn wasn’t a forgiven loan to individuals or institutions.. Please do try to stay on topic.

No less absurd than your meme. Do you think social spending like college tuition doesn’t bring an ROI?

It's not a 1:1 ROI.
There are likely other programs with a higher ROI.
Does the law of diminishing returns apply?
Is part of the problem that people who took out these loans weren't smart consumers? Borrowing thousands of dollars to get a bachelors or higher degree in social work or similar or to attend a for-profit institution isn't a good idea. We need social workers but they should consider community colleges and in-state schools unless they get lots and lots of scholarship and grant money.
The loan providers need to be on the hook as well. Allow student debtors to find relief in bankruptcy and loan providers will be a lot more practical in who and for what they loan money.

Totally agree on smart consumers but that can be fixed.
Also agree on the lenders. They seem to be just a well healed version of takers and grifters.
Regardless the complaints of “I had to pay mine off” deserve some sympathy but also…life isn’t fair. We lose sight of the big picture with that attitude. It’s not fair to me doesn’t mean it isn’t a positive to the overall economy. That saved money still gets spent and we all benefit from that spending.

Joey Rotten will do everything he can to spoil and enable as many irresponsible people in this country as he possibly can, just like he did to his whore chasing drugged up idiot son. He’s pretty good at totally fucking everything up.
He’s really harming the population in the long run because Christmas Day doesn’t last forever

Its not saved money. Its money that is shifted to the taxpayers, and juat adds to the debt and inflationary pressures.kalm wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 6:20 amWhat is the ROI?

Using that same logic, tbat the govt paying off people’s debt is a good thing, you would have the govt paying off everyone’s debt.

It’s just exactly what those people with college debt should’ve heard. Another irony is a lot of those people actually did get jobs that are making money, and could pay off some portion of their debt.
Promoting financial irresponsibility is losing sight of the big picture and will catch up with us sooner than later
