Really? Did Biden bankroll his campaign on those items like Trump did with MEXICO WILL PAY FOR THE WALL? BTW, where did Trump get money for the Wall? Congress certainly did not fund the wall but how did he get away with it?

 

But this is fun - let's keep going!

  1. Did Trump DRAIN THE SWAMP?
  2. Did Trump LOCK HER UP?
  3. Did Trump tell us he would no time to golf and then spend 356+ days GOLFING?
  4. Did Trump's tax cut works and fund themselves?  Nope.
  5. Did Trump's corporate tax cuts benefit American workers? Hell no, corporations spent their tax savings buying back stock.
  6. Trump promised his GREATEST ECONOMY EVER would grow 4 percent a year - HA - during his three years growth was 2.5% and well, we all know what Trump did to the economy his final year.
  7. Trump promised to eliminate the federal deficit - HA - LMAO - HE GREW IT OVER 60%
  8. What did Trump say about drug prices? LMAO???? They soared under his watch.
  9. Trump promised to end DACA. What happened?
  10. Trumps promised China would pay for his trade war - WRONG - Americans paid the bill and Trump had to bail out farmers.

 

BTW, are you going to answer the question on why blue states should continue to bail out "BOOMING" red states' operating budgets?


 

 

Legit everything is worse under Biden. 
 

You live in mom’s basement if you think otherwise.  
 

I already proved you don’t know what you’re talking about with spending - define red state again for us - can I make the case it’s Wisconsin because Scott Walker ran it for years?  Can I make the case North Carolina is blue bc it’s had a D governor.  
 

Florida had a D governor - lol Charlie Crist.  

 

There is no arguing the complexities of this with you bc you’re incapable.  
 


 

What’s not debatable is that lib policy deep blue ***t holes are being evacuated.  
 

Well run low tax low regulation and low grooming states are booming.  
 

 

 

Even further - wth is a Democrat in 2023 vs a Democrat in 1993?

Federal student loans have fixed interest rates, which means they won't vary over the life of the loan.

 

What is the interest rate on government backed student loans?
The maximum interest rates are 8.25% for Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans made to undergraduate students, 9.50% for Direct Unsubsidized Loans made to graduate and professional students

 

Do government student loans have interest?
About 92 percent of student loan debt is federal, with interest rates ranging from 4.99 percent to 7.54 percent.

student loans have repayment terms as long as 20 years

 

These were very high interest rates for gov backed loans before the recent inflation. 

Alf.  I'd had more sympathy if this wasn't known before they signed on the dotted line.  Not a fan of Biden telling people that he's going to forgive their student loan debt knowing that it didn't have the constitutional mustard to go through.  People made personal financial decisions counting on that debt being forgiven.

So why don’t the “America First” GQP Congress do something for student loan payers? 
 

Republican’s pay student loans, too. 
 

But no - this would be viewed as a win for Biden; and not the American people. We know how you all think.

 

America last.

Joke only started promising it prior to the election so not sure how many made the decision to take out a college loan based on him.  But yes, he knew he couldn't do it and Nan told him he couldn't.  It was a lie to get people to vote for him and to make the Rs look bad when it rightfully got shot down.  But they don't care about what's right or wrong, just that they didn't get money back from the taxpayers, when it was the colleges who set the tuition costs and got the money.

Introduce bills like this that start to address the root cause of the problem.

 

https://thehill.com/homenews/education/4049576-senate-republicans-introduce-plan-to-tackle-student-loan-debt/

 

The first two bills in the package specifically deal with how colleges give students information before they decide to attend. 

The “College Transparency Act (CTA)” would reform the college data reporting system so students have better information about outcomes at schools before committing to a university.

The “Understanding the True Cost of College Act” will require schools to have a similar style for their financial aid letters with a breakdown of the aid so students can better compare offers. 

The last three bills deal directly with student loans, including how information is given to borrowers and limiting some borrowing. 

The “Informed Student Borrower Act” requires students to be more informed when applying for a loan by acknowledging they received student loan entrance materials or they participated in entrance counseling.

The students would receive materials that show how long it would take to pay off their loans, how much the monthly payments would be and what they will likely make going to a certain school and program. The students would receive this information yearly.

The fourth bill addresses the nine different student loan repayment options the Department of Education offers. These options, with eligibility based on income and loan type, gave borrowers different timeline options for paying off their loans and the amount they would owe each month.

The bill cuts those repayment options down to two to simplify the process. The standard 10-year repayment plan for borrowers would remain and the REPAYE program would stay, with some changes. The REPAYE program gives loan forgiveness earlier to low-income individuals who have low balances on their loans.

I'm not talking about taking out a college loan.  I'm talking about spending money they were planning on saving to pay off their loans they assumed would be forgiven.

It’s not perfect but it’s a start.

This is worse than saying Mexico will pay for the wall. Biden lied and he knew he was lying. Just to get the votes from the brain dead leftists who believed him.

But all you hear is Trump lied about the wall. Either way the wall was built and served it’s purpose until this administration let everyone and their families in unchecked.

It's a dumb comparison (shocker).  No one counted on money from the wall being built like they did from their loans being paid-off.

It's worse because it has a more direct economic impact of those effected.  It doesn't make Trump correct in lying about Mexico paying for the wall and then circumventing congress to redirect Pentagon funds to pay for portions of the wall.

It’s worse because biden lied through his teeth. He used those foolish enough to believe him. To get there vote. At least Trump had the wall built, which actually was the main point. Not who would pay for it. Biden just lied period.

Hoax.  The wall was not built.  Trump promised a sea-to-sea wall.  Last I checked, he didn't deliver.  Maybe the plan for the wall is next to the plan for repealing and replacing Obamacare in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.  Right next to all of the classified documents Trump intentionally retained.

The wall has better odds to be built than biden student loan forgiveness plan.

The Wall/Mexico will pay for it: this is one of the strangest things about Trump's presidency. Of course Mexico wasn't going to take its own government funds to build a wall. I always understood this to mean that the Trump Administration - which had control of Congress! - would enact tariffs or probably a special excise tax on remittances to Mexico to create a dedicated fund to pay for "border security," i.e., a wall. And then ... no such tax (which could have been sold as a tax on Mexicans) was ever proposed, not even in Paul Ryan's huge tax package. Instead they tried the shady repurposing of U.S. taxpayer money, which was shot down as it was initially proposed, and that would have clearly been United States taxpayers paying for it anyway.

A lot of people get so worked up about Trump's abuses that they forget how inept the Trump Administration was in getting things done.

Control of Congress means a super-majority in the Senate.  No Dem was going to vote for a border wall because they want illegals streaming over the border.
