President Biden won’t extend student loan relief

[Lisa558]

Yep, they found a loophole and will continue to exploit it. Alabama is the only state that requires the voter to return his/her own ballot.

There was a reason that in-person ballots historically have been required - it makes it less likely to harvest ballots (if not outright manufacture them).

Mail-in ballots should be allowed only for:

1) Those who have physical disabilities
2) Those over age 75
3) Those who live beyond 30 miles from a polling location

Beyond that:

1) No late-arriving ballots. All ballots are due by COB on Election Day.
2) All mail-in ballots should be counted first, to disallow the sudden “discovery” of ballots after it is determined how many they need to win
3) No month-long early balloting; rather, polls open for votes 3 days prior.

You can't get anything right, I didn't vote for Biden. Both Biden and Trump have mental issues.

Oh, you’re one of those fools who threw away his vote.

WOW. In person voting disenfranchises the military.

So our soldiers can die for their country, but aren't entitled to vote for it's leaders?

Oh... poor, poor pathetic Millennials and Older Gen Z's. Your Socialist vote for the "Sniffer" is backfiring.

Buck up, take off the diaper and put on some underwear..... then appropriate clothing and get your ass to work.

The wife and I both have higher Ed degrees and we have paid off all our loans.... and you will as well. If you default.... Get use to Uber and paying rent, cause you will never own a car or house.

I have no sympathy for these basement dwellers.... literally on video games and/or marching for socialist causes.

Add me to the list of fools. Neither candidate earned my vote.

Yeah, because choosing between syphilis or gonorrhea is somehow not throwing your vote away!

I agree though some banks were forced to take the money. They weren't in trouble and were told if they didn't take the money they would be audited to hell and back.

Loads of shifty shit happened back then.

We also shouldn't have had to bail about the Savings and Loans that went belly up back in the 80's.

Oops….you’re right. Add the military to the list of those who can vote absentee, along with college students who live out of state.

You wasted your vote, and helped put Biden in office. (exception: if you lived in a diehard blue or red state.)

It wasn't just that. It's the last dozen years where we have pumped, pumped, pumped imaginary money into the markets where the big banks like Goldman/Sachs, Chase, etc have benefitted by billions of dollars. Not a one they actually worked for.

As long as we continue to do this I'm going to support anything that permits the rest of society to benefit.

I live in Florida, easily the most important swing state. My support isn't easily won though. I won't play the lesser evil game.

I will only vote for candidates I believe in. I won't be manipulated by a fear of the other side.

Those mail in ballots for those 3 exceptions should be on record, as in people have to register and have the state issue personalized mail in ballots for each person. And you need to verify your status within 6 months prior to an election. If you're a legal is citizen you need 2 things regardless if you're one of those exceptions a residence and a social security number and you should need both to be to register an verify for a mail in.

Then when counting mail in ballots they know exactly how many they sent out vs how many they recieve. You could allow like a .3% discrepancy or something.

Count mail ins first and once they are complete you have to close mail ins before counting in person votes.

It's not perfect, but it would help.

Loan forgiveness is theft. The fact that the victim of that theft is difficult to pin down doesn't change the fact that it is theft.

An unfortunate fact of life is that 18-year-olds do not have sufficient life experience to evaluate the real cost of tens of thousands of dollars of debt, having to be repaid with after-tax dollars...and yet the System allows them to enter into that debt.

The pitiable folks here are the ones who amassed huge debts and DIDN'T GRADUATE - large numbers of whom are People of Color. They are the ones who are fucked.

While being a Boomer is a mixed blessing, it was nice to be able to get a doctorate at a very reasonable cost. My Law School tuition was only about $3k per semester.

I disagree with that way of viewing things. I also won't feel responsible for something that isn't my fault. We need better candidates if anybody cares about my vote. My refusal to vote for bad candidates does not make me responsible for bad presidents.

Then you are truly the exception to the rule.

Bout time he did something right. We tax payers would have been on the hook to pay for their college time.

You want to go to college?? Get a job or a loan and go. Just don't expect we tax payers to pay for it.

My friend’s daughter is a fourth-year law associate and earns more than $300,000 a year, including a bonus. She can pay off her own loans rather than having the car mechanic and assistant manager at MACY’s chip in to pay them off for her.

My refusal to vote for bad candidates does not make me responsible for bad presidents.

In Florida in 2000, the margin of victory was just a fraction of those votes wasted on candidates who couldn't win. If you studied the Banzhaf power rule, you would know that in a close election, the decision is made, not by the die hard democrats, or the die hard republicans, but by those who thought about voting for a third party candidate, but voted for someone who could win instead.

Of course it’s your fault, if enough people acted as you did. The fact of the matter was that one of the two candidates was going to be president, and you could have taken action to help prevent the worse of the two from getting in.

Example: Let’s say I had to paint the walls in my living room, and ai was told that they would definitely be EITHER vomit green or an unappealing orange color. If I said, “I don’t like either, let someone else choose,” then I risk getting stuck with the one that is worse. And one is always worse.

We ended up with the worse of the two candidates.

You know this did not actually happen, right?

We do know that you and the other libtard Democrats are lying sacks of shit!

I personally watched a video showing them suspending the count at a polling place, all of the Republican poll watchers left, and then the Democrat workers reached under the tables and pulled out suitcases of ballots and began counting them over and over again, until they had the numbers they needed. That's why in some polling locations, the number of votes exceeded the number of voters in the voting precinct. It's odd how that never made it to the courts.
