Maggie Haberman is like the journalist lacking attention that does a prison interview, falls in love and gets manipulated.
You mean just like the journalist who fell for MARTIN F****** SKRELLI?


Something Something leopard face...
 


Every dollar spent on student debt relief is a dollar taken from the Federal Government’s more important activities such as giving tanks to small town police departments, building more federal prisons, paying rich people not to farm, bombing hospitals in the Middle East, and giving money to DWalk.
 
And of course…Maggie Haberman knew back in 2021, but ACCECS JOURNALISM and $$$$$$$ kept her from reporting on it :smh:

😂

Not far fetched though.

What are the chances that botched covert operations have been traced back to the information contained in those boxes?

Lending them was probably more profitable than outright selling them and I bet the ******* knew there was a good chance they would eventually want these things back

Have to love the zero sum thinking so many pretend exists with federal spending

Never mind that many economists believe student debt relief can help the economy

The more targeted the relief, the more bang we would get for the buck I think

Warren's plan seemed pretty good IIRC

If they don't dobanything about the debt, then the IRS eventually will. Written into the laws that Obama signed in 2009 or so, the regular versions of the loans are 20 or 25 years long. After that, all remaining balance is forgiven.

The catch is that when it is eventually forgiven is treated like taxable income for that year, so you could go from making (for tax purposes) $50,000 dollars to $250,000 taxable dollars the next year if loans of $200,000 are forgiven. That's a huge jump-start people will not be able to afford.

That means that once those 20 and 25 year loans are forgivable, the IRS will have millions of people stuck in t h e avalanche that's been building up of loan borrowers. At that point, if there is no executive or legislative will to fix it, THE IRSbhas the authority to deal with the debt owed as they want. I cannot see them not doing something at that point or risk themselves and the USA's financial stability.


Tl;dr - the IRS has the power to potentially fix this themselves if congress of the president doesn't at some point in t b e future.
