Prairie Bus posted:The law is better than that. The text of the CARES act made clear that your suspended payments will count towards your 120 on time payments. Moreover, the Department of Education confirmed this - https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/coronavirus#forbearance-questions. Credit here goes to the Dems refusing to pass the first version of the bill and its various clauses that stealth-hosed people, even while the media blamed them for holding it up.

Not immediately relevant, but did Saturday Night Live ever have good politics? Were they shitlibs when Carter was in office? I’m guessing yes, but haven’t watched the early stuff

They have always made their “targets” more likable by humanizing them through benign exaggeration, making them seem as familiar and harmless as a character on a sitcom. Consider how their most potent satire was having Gerald Ford fall down and be a well-meaning bumbler. I mean, think about the personal politics of Chevy Chase and Bill Murray, not to mention Lorne Michaels. It was a bait-and-switch from the start. The only actual politics the show’s ever had was when Amy Pohler said people should vote for Hillary in 2008 because she’s a bad bitch who gets things done (lol).

WOWEE ZOWEE posted:Let's not forget that "Mexican" is often a catch-all for Latino people, period. I do think it’s worth pointing out that the reporter who wrote the story is black. The prof who taught my modern American Indians anthro course definitely preferred the term Indian but noted it was a personal choice, iirc. Turns out self identification is a complex topic, shocking. The one that gets me is when conservative types trot out ‘homosexuals.’

If Joe Biden has even a molecule of sense left bouncing around his moldy goo brain he'd pick her to be his VP and then get the gently caress out of the way and let her do all the talking but lol Oh my goodness, yes! She's been consistently amazing not only at saying brilliant things, but getting concrete changes in play during the spread of the Coronavirus. I'm so glad that she's okay, and I hope she'll pull through and be re-elected in 2020.

If you don't get your debt forgiven because you went to a public school or HBCU, then this will be the easiest way to get forgiveness for private school loans. ...That's actually really nice. Not perfect by any means, but better than I thought Biden would support.

How does it interact with interest, though? I haven't seen any mention of it in the articles I've seen, and if it keeps accruing in the normal fashion I can see a whole bunch of people stuck paying 5% of discretionary for 20 years. Better than the current system, but still a significant income drain at exactly the point in people's lives where they have mounting expenses (from all the other stuff Biden isn't fixing).

That's good, thanks! Have you seen anything about interest for folks >$25 who are paying the 5% discretionary payments?

The actual answer here is to just get rid of means testing and give the same benefits to everyone, and increase top tax brackets to compensate. Not only does it remove perverse incentives, it's much cheaper to administer because there are no edge cases.

In any modern society where the people were somewhat cared for, no, it'd be like a delay and then you just start paying your regular amount when things return to normalish. But since this is the US, Hell yes, you'll pay your standard payment with a 50% increase to make up for the time you missed, peon. Now start yanking those boot straps

No, payments and interest are automatically suspended through September, and you’ll still accrue credit towards forgiveness is you’re in an eligible program. In this instance they weren’t total poo poo - they threw a bone to the plebs paying their ridiculous “lol you tried to turn yourself into a specialized of worker” tax.
