It is a Federal Reserve Wall Street-orchestrated run on the banks for Republican Socialists in an effort to re-elect The Donald.

It was also half the blank bill George Bush and Hank Paulson submitted in September of 2008 for their Golden Bailout Bucket of Taxpayer Cash.

We all know if Trump does anything, he does it bigly.

Don't get me started Jon. Student loan debt is 30% the fault of tuition increasing and 70% the fault of people believing they should be allowed to attend any school to which they can be admitted.

Why would that matter?

If you take out a loan you pay it back not everyone else.

That was Soooo not the point. I agree it's bullshit to not let bankruptcy cover everything.

I heard an analysis today where the Fed doing stuff right now spooks the markets because they interpret it as thinking it means the Fed thinks the economy is in deep doo doo. Thus the huge drop today after the Fed dropped rates to essentially zero.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth

If there's $1.5T to calm investors, why isn't there $1.5T to erase student debt. Do you know how many people are putting off financial purchases (home, car, vacation, weddings) b/c they have student loans? I agree - if you take a loan you should repay. But that doesn't really matter now that we've injected so much money into a system that rewards risk taking? Food for thought. Discuss.
