Which facts? Can you list the knowledge Harvard or Yale has that FSU or UT doesnt? What “thing“ other than reputation makes them better? Would President Obama have not been a good President had he attended UF or OSU vs Columbia? Was Reagan a bad President because he attended Eureka?
I dont have to go to Harvard or major in English Lit to be able to read. If all the English Lit majors and plumbers died 30 seconds ago which group do you think society would miss more and sooner?
The roster of presidents and supreme court justices.Which facts?

This isn't rocket science.
No, you don't..
Cormac McCarthy was a U of Tenn. drop out.
That said, the vast majority of Americans don't read, and for the most part, can't.
I can. Because I've worked at it. Been reading literature much of my life...the stuff you've heard of, but wouldn't even try.
AND I'm good at math.
This is a perfect example of why you ought to shut the fuck up.We paid 1.6 trillion last year in interest on the debt. If we weren't in debt that's 1.6 Trillion we don't have to pay. 1.6 trillion divided by the US population is 4500 ish. I'm married with 2 dependents, that's 18k in taxes I wouldn't have had to pay were we not in the debt we currently are.
So yes the US Government incurring debt does affect my taxes.
The interest on 40 billion at 5% is 2 billion. Divided by the us population is about 6 bucks a year in taxes per person to cover it.
You are correct I was wrong on the figures but it doesnt change the point. We spent 474 billion on interest in 2022 what I read was a prediction over the next 10 years. But even using your figures (which are also incorrect):This is a perfect example of why you ought to shut the fuck up.
Interest on the national debt in 2022 was NOT 1.6 Trillion. It was just south of 400 Billion.
And no your taxes would not increase even that 6 dollars a year if loan forgiveness were passed.
The ONE legitimate criticism of doing that is that it is slightly inflationary.
You're too stupid to make that argument however
At least you can admit you were wrong (because it was so stupidly egregious)You are correct I was wrong on the figures but it doesnt change the point. We spent 474 billion on interest in 2022 what I read was a prediction over the next 10 years. But even using your figures (which are also incorrect):
LOL. You thought private banks were still making student loans.At least you can admit you were wrong (because it was so stupidly egregious)
Getting something that simple and basic to the discussion so wrong means you ought to gracefully bow out.
And they are. Not all loans but private banks are making student loansLOL. You thought private banks were still making student loans.
The DoEd makes all student loans. Certainly, all the ones we are discussing getting forgiven. There might be individuals who are taking out additional loans or separate loans for one reason or another but the student loan program is completely funded by the DoEd. That's been the case since 2010.And they are. Not all loans but private banks are making student loans

Again you are wrongThe DoEd makes all student loans. Certainly, all the ones we are discussing getting forgiven.

The Government Takeover Of Student Lending
We would be better off working with the private sector, so that more children can afford an education.
"After announcing that he would seek to end the FFEL program in his presidential campaign, President Barack Obama succeeded last month when Congress passed the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA). The bill requires that all student loans originated after July 1, 2010 be done via the direct lending program, generating savings of $62 billion over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The Act also increased Pell Grants by $36 billion and expanded aid to colleges serving minorities."
Again you are wrong
How to Tell if Your Student Loans are Federal | Bankrate
More than 90 percent of borrowers take out federal loans to pay for school. Find out if your loans are federal or private here.www.bankrate.com
And loans issued prior to 2010 were through banks even though they were Federally guaranteed and millions are still paying on those loans. I know this because my son and daughter in law are among them
Just post the list of FSU grads who have served in either capacity.That's not proof that Harvard is better than FSU nor is it a reason to fund every kid who wants to go there.
The last President Harvard produced was JFK.
Yale: the Bushes and Taft
Princeton: Woodrow Wilson.
Are you sure you still want to make argument you're making?
What do you think the literacy rate in the US is? The vast majority of people in the US can read.
Am I supposed to be impressed that you allegedly read a lot and are "good at math"?
BTW you want to answer that question about the plumbers and English Lit majors?

Dude...anyone listening to a deficit hawk who was more than a trillion dollars off on the deficit ought to have his head examined.If your son and daughter in law are still paying on student loans they took out prior to 2010 then Im not taking any monetary advice from someone who taught them how to handle money.
Dude...anyone listening to a deficit hawk who was more than a trillion dollars off on the deficit ought to have his head examined.
Both my kids graduated college with zero debt. Your kid is still paying off his loan over a decade later.but keep trying
And I admitted the clerical error. Unlike you I can admit when I make a mistakeDude...anyone listening to a deficit hawk who was more than a trillion dollars off on the deficit ought to have his head examined.
but keep trying
Not mine.Both my kids graduated college with zero debt. Your kid is still paying off his loan over a decade later.
BWAHAHAHA...a "clerical error" of well over a TRILLION dollars when talking about the deficit (which is a third of that)And I admitted the clerical error. Unlike you I can admit when I make a mistake
Nor most peopleNot mine.

It was a mistake which I admitted unlike you who were just uninformed on the subject. I've noticed you are disputing the actual premise of the post. I misread an article.BWAHAHAHA...a "clerical error" of well over a TRILLION dollars when talking about the deficit (which is a third of that)
What a dope
