Crazy how easy that was. Almost like he could just…make them go away? :coffee:

So could Congress and yet neither of them are doing anything. At least Congress has the power to make CHANGE rather than just scrap debt for a select generation and let those starting college this fall rack up debt and let the cycle continue...

I'm surprised they backpedaled so quickly lmao

I'm gonna start paying them anyway, just whatever the minimum is, I don't see these going away so whatever :enigma:

I would bet this is just getting dragged out for a boost in midterms. Come May, he’ll probably push it out again. Then around September/October Dems will start pushing for a full or partial debt cancellation to build buzz for midterms. If they do it now, voters would forget by then and it wouldn’t increase turnout because they already have what they want

Same. I should have taken advantage of the 0% interest for the last two years. But, I can pay 3 of my 14 loans off in full by May. So, that will help some. 

You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

Oh I don’t disagree at all. It’s pretty much a certainty. But they need any boost they can get, so I could definitely see focusing on loan forgiveness being a tactic for that. Even if they did maintain control of the House they’d still conveniently forget about it after the election

Can y'all believe that I delayed/deferred my student loans as was allotted and I was supposed to start paying them Aug of 2020 and they keep getting pushed back?

I literally have no money to pay them...

But I feel like I'm winning :bear:
