When they’re subsidizing billionaires or huge corporations, they spend millions and billions. When they’re addressing the survival needs of ordinary people, they throw at them a few hundred, a few thousand and want us to think they’re the most generous people in the world.

Additionally, we should forgive a minimum of $10,000/person of federal student loans, as proposed by Senator Warren and colleagues. Young people and other student debt holders bore the brunt of the last crisis. It shouldn't happen again.

Solution: stop subsidizing businesses and corporations and let people give to charity like we used to before the New Deal.

It would be nice if there was some follow through, too…

any amount is too much. whatever level of relief it should be considered to be taxable income as it is a gift. no one was forced to read & sign terms of agreement for a student loan. the lending and academic institutions fulfilled their obligations and so should the students.

With fiscal conservatism it’s always about doing the bear minimum, actual leadership means doing the job right, whatever the cost.

It irritates me how politicians think they are generous and other politicians are greedy based on how they spend or don't spend other people's money.

Biden is doing a good job in an impossible world, so lay off the snarkiness, please. Pay attention to the history of our troubled democracy and the practical ways to rebuild it. We need to pull together now.
