Looks like they are claiming the original source for the data is incorrect and go into am explanation of why. What did you think of their refutation?Looks like there's contradictory information out there. I wonder if the LA Times is one of those sources that said Joe Biden is sharp as a tack and any footage of him exhibiting cognitive issues was doctored.
I can't get past the LA Times paywall.Looks like they are claiming the original source for the data is incorrect and go into am explanation of why. What did you think of their refutation?
I disagree. I think a lot of folks think loan forgiveness, for example, is out of thin air.Because that's what it means to them. We all agree that benefits come at a cost to somebody. Nobody thinks that benefits come out of thin air at no cost to anybody--despite the fact that you like to pretend that we do.
I’m unable to argue that “free money” comes from somewhere?But you're unable to argue the point. Saying it isn't enough.

Ah. I use a java blocker so it does not pop up for me.I can't get past the LA Times paywall.
I just installed one, which worked, but it'll be a while before I have time to review the article.Ah. I use a java blocker so it does not pop up for me.

Okay.
lol. Okay.No you can't and these one sentence replies aren't fooling us. Accept the point was made and move on.

No. You are unable to argue that your characterization of how money impacts a person is the same whether one person pays for it, or 10,000,000 people pay for it. To continue to make the argument that "free money comes from somewhere" is assinine; as though the other possibly is alchemy is actually being argued.I’m unable to argue that “free money” comes from somewhere?

Not the same thing. How you come to that conclusion is beyond me.Besides, you think third party insurance is free? IT's the EXACT SAME THING? There is no worthwhile argument to be made.
An argument from emotion? And an insult? Mkay.How terrible would it be to labour under the mindset that you would refuse to pay 10 cents for a child to have a brain tumour removed.
Because I don’t see the relevance. But since you brought it up, why not just have the people who want to pay for others’ debt pay for it? Everyone wins. Probably.Why not just say that you don't want to help pay for it?

So you personally get to decide how your tax dollar is spent. Actually, you get to keep it all if you don't want to spend it on anything. Want to chip in to build a road? Got a couple of bucks towards a new school? A new hospital? The town needs a new fire station, can you help?Because I don’t see the relevance.

The poor? We are talking about school loans.Do you honestly love money more than helping the poor? What christian speaks like this?

There are universal goods that taxes go towards. Schools loans aren’t in the mix.So you personally get to decide how your tax dollar is spent.

Nah, you only want to pay for a road that you might use. Unfortunately, not everyone will use the road, so most don't chip in and it doesn't get built. Neither does the hospital, because most people won't use it. Neither the school, because only people with kids likely to go there will chip in.
Maybe you should think this concept through for a while.
It's education. That's a universal good. It really sounds like you don't want to pay for it. It really sounds like you want to restrict it to those who can afford it. Maybe like, I dunno, health care.There are universal goods that taxes go towards. Schools loans aren’t in the mix.

The government writes off all sorts of debts. You're making a big deal about students getting a break when others get significantly more. Are you beating the drums about corporations and the rich or are you only bothered by the little guy getting assistance?

You think I don't but I do. I think it's a really dumb argument. Unless you put in the effort to explain it otherwise.You don’t seem to understand the argument.
