You forgot higher interest rates due to skyrocketing inflation since 2022, now the highest since 1983. https://www.cnbc.com/select/interest-rates-rising-saving-more-appealing-debt-more-harmful/ “The Fed has repeatedly raised rates this year in an effort to corral rampant inflation that has reached 40-year highs.” “Higher interest rates may help curb soaring prices, but it also increases the cost of borrowing which can make everyday financial products more expensive, like mortgages, personal loans and credit cards.” Though, no doubt, Joe deserves a free pass on this as well.👌 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that this form of argument is not persuasive to any rational person. In other words, urging the Administration to cut off the flow of public benefits, and then decrying the resulting rise in bankruptcies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, urging the Administration to cut off the flow of public benefits, and then decrying the resulting rise in bankruptcies. Urging and actually cutting the flow of public benefits don’t go hand in hand. Title 42 has ended to increase benefits for illegals, Medicaid is expanding, the SNAP is growing, all public benefits. Job loss, medical expenses, and escalating mortgage payments are the most common reasons people file for bankruptcy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medical expenses was Elizabeth Warren's theory, which was subsequently shown to be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Callahan Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) "special COVID payments, eviction moratoriums, student loan forbearance" All emergency and had end dates. Not means tested, income-based welfare. The bills all have to be paid, just kicking the can adds interest to them, driving up cost.
