I agree that 250k is too high of a threshold. What percentage of people claiming that amount as income will benefit is unknown to me. Any number is too high though

No i am saying that it will be both but in my opinion it should be more interest wise and nothing original balance wise.

Also many people have already paid into the loans much more than the 10k being forgiven. There are lot of details that are being ignored about how this debt is structured

President and Fomer President and the federal law is a whole different arena. They enjoy a wide latitude of immunity and deference. I would reserve saying anything is illegal until complete details and evidence emerge.

The reason is that politics can become a weapon and the President has a lot of knowledge that does not go away. That is why they get secret service also.

Fair enough

I would agree with interest only.

It gets even more complicated when we consider how many of those whose “original balance” is being forgiven have already paid more into the loan than the forgiven amount. I guess that fits into the category of interest. In other words anybody whose total debt for qualifying loans has not reached 10k should not be receiving forgiveness imo.

346

I am not exactly sure what you said but don’t believe government should be in business of interest loans.

347

Sorry that wasn’t clear. Stream of consciouness sentence lol.

With almost all of these loans a portion of the payment goes to the original balance but a very significant portion goes towards interest. So the interest is paid off first but a significant chunk of the original balance remains. At that point is the forgiveness of the original balance appropriate? I think so

And yes I have been screaming from the rooftops to match the interest rate to the treasury yield at 1.9 percent. @DougBH set me straight. If the government spent money to borrow money to lend it to you, you should be responsible for both the original balance and the interest the government spent.

This isn’t good news for Fetterman or Shapiro.

Seems OPEC may want to keep inflation on the uptick.

Pretty nice write up for the sultan of old man bile rhetoric and the stroke survivor.

Read the comments to see what the genuine response is. The comments are rather stunning. Clean and to the point about unleashing US energy.

The policies being used just don’t work.

Yeah that wasn’t good…

Finally saw this on FOX. Brett interviewed Oz.

Oz handled himself superbly against some tough questions.

356

But here’s the thing: you can recover from a stroke. It can take a while, but I bet you’ll even see improvement in January when he’s sworn in.

By contrast, Oz’s carpetbagging schmuckitude is terminal.

I will post the interview with Brett Baier.

Oz was really good.

On abortion. On Fetterman health. On Trump.

Doc Oz nailed it.

Well, he better hope that process speeds up no matter who wins the election. So far it does not seem to go well.

359

Oz summed it up as either Fetterman won’t debate because he cannot stand behind Dem policy.

OR

Fetterman has not been honest about his medical condition and prognosis.

360

That’s not how people think.

They will see Fetterman like that, and some minds will change.

You are going to see Oz make a visible effort to not mention Trump or Trumpism the rest of the way.
