Joe Biden is under pressure to eliminate $50,000 of student debt for each student. $50,000 can buy A LOT of race parts!


While I hope I'm wrong, I find that to be very simplistic and short sighted. Where is that $50k/per student (Trillions in total) going to come from. The printing press. While that might support a season of drag racing, it ultimately has dire consequences, when the bill comes due, on the entire nation. To think anything in the near term that is brighter than ever defies pending reality. Again, hope I'm wrong.

I was being sarcastic.A pretty stupid idea if you ask me.

I'm sure many would like their mortgages to be paid too.

I had 6 from a RU at Tulsa D4 race, once I started Emailing them I got paid by all 6. Took 3 months. To me it wasn't the money it was the principle of it. MT was the very last to pay and they give a pre loaded gift card not a check

Not that I agree with it, but it’s probably similar in total dollars to the $1200 per person or whatever stimulus that was sent out earlier this year, and with more impactful benefit.

If people are hurting financially, a one-time payment of $1200 isn’t solving that problem.

I think the future of drag racing is brighter than ever.

They turned these University's into four year summer camps to keep young adults busy because they had offshored their jobs to china!!

Underwater basket weaving degrees. It's a complete freak show!! And people buy it ALL!!

HOOK LINE AND SINKER!!


It is NOT a complete freak show. My son graduated last year with a doctorate in Pharmacology. College is just like life you need to make good decisions and be ready to own up to them.
Now my son is a doctor “PharmD” and I could not be more proud of him.

Spot on! It's easy for folks to generalize everything. The new target for some is that college degrees are worthless and a waste of money. And also that they turn every young person into a flaming liberal. It does happen and some people do get worthless degrees that cost them dearly. But not all. Some young people are motivated and make good decisions.

I or my son never borrowed a penny for his college education. Should I be expecting a check for $50,000?

I never borrowed either. And we have saved for my son's. What a deal it would be for someone who worked hard to avoid the debt or got it paid off, and here comes the forgiveness.

My nephew is a scientist as well , a computer scientist. we weren't discussing degrees which produce jobs with salaries which can service school loans, but ones which can't and are now looking for a handout debt jubilee.

Lots of college degree young adults living at home working part time minimum wage jobs who can't service their school loans, who were charged a lot of money for these educations, they'll never use.

Your son and my nephew are the exceptions to the rule. One easy trend to evidence this is Toys R Us went out of biz, this tells you these educations don't produce jobs which pay well enough for young adults to get married and start a family.

True, but you're only talking about money. How about those of us that were drafted into the military, risk our lives (and many lost theirs), then along comes amnesty for the Canadian asylum emigrants. My prediction, it'll happen, giving out free money is all the rage these days.

Toys R Us was carrying billions of dollars in debt 20 years before they finally collapsed. That’s big trouble even before a major expansion of Walmart and online shopping going mainstream.

Good try though!

How about this in response to Biden's College debt forgiveness plan.

Forgive the debt but serve two years in the Military. No exceptions.

Can't serve the Country then don't ask for a release from your obligations.

All the big corporations carry big debt, it's their ability to service their big debt, the same as yours which exemplifies staying power. That and too big to fail bailouts during down turns.

It's a fact the majority of young adults aren't getting married and starting families, can you blame them?

It's also a fact, a debt jubilee for school loans is small potatoes in comparison to too big to fail corporate bailouts.

Everything is in collapse, it was this way before covid. The pain we're gonna experience was kicked down the road since the 2007 collapse, nothing was repaired, if anything the destruction was turned up a notch with massive QE money creation.

You can't offshore the US economy to china and expect to have an economy by expanding credit, to replace wages. Unless you wanna end up $27 trillion in debt, with no end in sight to the amount of further money creation, to keep the ship from capsizing.

Why else would I ridicule wing wong ching chong purchases daily, from the day I got on the net?

This is very Valid, I spent over $120k on my education 25 years ago, paid for all of it. So me being responsible, a contributor to society means that I have to pay now for kids that aren't? But they didn't pay for mine, I DID.

Basically it is "Buying Votes" and part of the Socialist dung kids are being taught in schools. That they Deserve everything for Free. Nothing is Free and if you think it is Free you can not afford the payments taxes that pays for it.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

My Uncle paid for my education, I paid him back with three years of service in the Army.

It took several decade but all our children have paid back their College loans. No whiners, just honorable people who fulfilled a commitment.

Their "Word" meant something.
